"I will never wash this hand again!!"

"I will never wash this hand again," says Danny after shaking hands with Padre player Alanzo Powell.  Today the fifth grade was treated to a special guest speaker - Padre hitting coach Powell.  He shared his adventures and stories about when he played in the minor leagues, teams abroad, Tacoma Rainiers, and the Padres.  He encouraged the students to make good choices and be accountable to their parents and teachers.  The students were thrilled to meet such a great role model.
