Daulton came up through the DBacks organization and played for the Hops in Hillsboro (pretty solid player)...a number of good ones have come through here; Dansby Swanson was a 1/1 pick and played his first pro game here and was clearly a special player...had season tix for the Hops first ten years...btw, Hillsboro was the home of both the Hops and the Canadians in '21 (covid related border issues)...there was a game in our yard 6 days per week that year...things starting getting harder when MLB took over and the NWL became High A instead of short season low A...going to night games in April and early May can be a fairly miserable experience...enough rambling...cheers, OSD
