Foresters Find Spunk in Hitting Coach Dmitri Young — <b> MAJOR-LEAGUE EXCITEMENT: </b>The Santa Barbara Foresters are already one of the best semipro teams in baseball, but now former major leaguer Dmitri Young (top right) is bringing more energy and experience to the dugout. That will only boost the play of pitchers Elliot Surrey (top left) and Troy Cruz (below) and their teammates.

As each starting player for the Santa Barbara Foresters was introduced by the public-address announcer, Dmitri Young voiced his approval in the Foresters’ dugout.

“Yay!”

“Yee-haw!”
