Dylan straight-up rakes. If he is not bombing the ball over the fence, then he is driving the ball to the fence. In the Ducks 4-0 loss to Mike Constanti, Dylan hit two balls to the base of the wall that nearly single-handedly double-handedly (one-handed swings are illegal, after all) changed the course of that game. His solo shot in game one against the Squirrels was the added insurance run that all but put the game away with Pearson on the mound, and Dylan added three more jacks in the 16-1 route of King Friday in their first game, accounting for half of his teams offense in the game. What locked this Great Athlete of the Week berth up for him, though, was the impressive .500 AVG he put together while supplying that power.		 If you were at The Swamp on Sunday, Nick had you laughing. He even had his pitchers falling off the mound, sailing the ball behind the batter or dribbling it to the plate with his spontaneous mid-wind-up one-liners. Nothing is off-limits for Nicky C. The fun really got going when the Squirrels tried to make their outlandish mockery of the DeLoppes' "we've got horns" ever more ridiculous, since "raging unicorn dicks" just was not cutting it anymore. Some of the highlights: we've got one less Beastie Boy;   two rumbling tumbling World Trade Center towers... Wait, World Trade Center should be this many (holds up zero fingers);   we've got two dimensions (accompanied by a jerky robot dance). There probably is no one better to personify the idea that, "if you're not having as much fun after a pitcher makes you look silly as you do when you get plated on a grand slam, then you're not doing it right."
