The Donaldson Dugout https://thedonaldsondugout.podbean.com Meet your hosts of the Donaldson Dugout -- Bob who goes by Gus (or Dad) and Mary Grace who goes by Gracie -- or M... parental nickname only. You'll hear us use all of them depending on our moods and humor that day. 

Since we also run a business together, we can't tell you which day of the week we'll be publishing as it will be different every time -- but we promise we'll let you know as soon as we do.

We have a lot of family baseball history we'll be discussing but we'll also share our family baseball history and a number of personal stories. And we'll touch on our Yanks and Mets, debate what's happening around MLB, and dissect our fantasy teams!
