🕊️ In Loving Memory of Ryder Shortridge 🕊️

One year ago, we lost more than a teammate — we lost our brother and best friend. Ryder was the heart of the Mud Dogs, always bringing joy, laughter, and love for the game.

Our team misses you every single day, but we continue to play for you. Forever our first baseman, forever in our hearts. 💛⚾🐾

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”
