...things. Huvelle sort of minds his own business, but was yanked from this anonymity by his election as team captain last spring. Baker, the first class marshal and otherwise a god-like figure, balances the looseness of his roommate Haggerty. In the group's informal lineup selection process, he chose to lead off Tuesday and made things easy with a 1:55 opening...
