Patch Visits an IronPigs Practice: Part 1

What happened when the Hellertown Patch crew descended on Coca-Cola Park in Allentown to interview Lehigh Valley IronPigs players and ask them the questions you submitted? Well, first there was perspiration (it was very hot and humid that day)...and there was a bit of confusion as we figured out who was where and what the team's routine was. There were some laughs and a few jitters as well, but by the end of the day we had learned a lot about the IronPigs and why they're wildly popular with local fans.

Bonus, while some of the players participated in batting practice, we caught up with the IronPigs' manager and Baseball Hall of Fame member Ryne Sandberg, who graciously answered several our questions. In this clip, , a.k.a. "The Brunette Lucy," talks to him about the team.

Continue to visit Hellertown Patch for two more installments in this video series--including the final one, in which we will reveal the first and second place winners of our  (*the drawing has already been held*).

Special thanks to Patch camera crew members Elyse Kells and Ron Lesher for lending their considerable video production talents to this endeavor, and thanks to the entire IronPigs organization for all their hospitality!
