Anybody ever heard of this Charles McAdoo guy before the 2024 season got going??? No, and not me either…Never had seen the name, but now we see and hear his name every game, and tonight/Tuesday he was tearing it up again, over in Winston-Salem, vs. the Dash…McAdoo goes 3-6/HR/2 Runs/5 RBI…Charles McAdoo, now on June 12, is batting .337 for the 2024 season…So far, you have to say Charlie MAC with a breakout/break through year, and an MVP-type season…Here’s hoping and Hopping that he never cools off, as the heat of the Summer marches on…
