Two new bloggers join Bluffton Icon - themes are baseball and kitchen economics

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 10, 2011 - 10:00am

The Bluffton Icon welcomes two new bloggers to its site.

Lyle Arnold's blog is "Dugoutsteps."

He describes his blog and himself this way:

Being born in the country, just outside of Beaverdam, I had ample opportunity to play outside. This helped lead to my love of baseball. It also helped that my brother, Mark, became my Little League baseball coach. We didn't have a great team in Beaverdam, but we did
have a lot of fun.
