## Resource

It is the day that makes us stop to remind us how great the national pastime. It is the heart of the baseball season. It is the Fourth of July. Courtney Finnicum joins Bradfo to reflect on why the holiday is so special for baseball fans, and how we should go about celebrating it. Courtney also offers another excellent ballpark view, this one involving Angel Stadium. There is also talk of margarita popsicles. It's a great way to revel in baseball and our nation's birthday.
