Sports anchor, Dale Nicholson, asked around 2:15 if he had time to get Travs highlights down at Dickey-Stephens Park.  I told him he had about 10-15 minutes before the strong winds and rain arrived.  He went anyway.  About 20 minutes later, Dale came back to the station soaked.  It was a good laugh.  He also shot some great video of the grounds keepers trying to cover the field with a tarp.  You can see it in our video section.  Click Here
