Orlando Hudson is spending time with inner-city kids in ten cities across the country as part of his "Around the Mound" tour, meeting about 150 kids per stop. That's 1,500 kids over the course of a season (KpS). Good job, O-Dog. And sometimes he brings along special guests, this time at Van Ness Park: O-Dog, the Kid, Beast Mode. "Everyone will get a chance to participate! Except you, in the Giants uniform!" Things that make Juan Pierre smile: getting beaned in the back, cute kids.
