Actually, I've been using the same detergent for years (Tide with the color safe stuff). After a year or so of using the dryer, the buttons would turn pink. Once I stopped putting my shirts in the dryer, the buttons stayed blue, even on shirts that were a couple of years old.

Even if I take them out of the washer at midnight and hang them up, they're dry by the morning. Good tip for anyone who's tired of pink buttons on their powder blues.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
