James T. Addis
Maynard Mallard rules the Duck Pond.
A Mallards game is more than just baseball. It’s exchanging a caught ball for a wiener. Kids in oversized uniforms racing the bases. T-shirt cannons. Millie and Maynard Mallard dancing to “YMCA.” And great food and beer. While all the activity should put a smile on your face on any game day, if you’re looking for one added reason to go this day rather than that day, we offer our Best of the Mallards Swag, 2015 edition.
