Rat-a-tat-tat

Woodpecker’s raps boost Bulldogs

Among other outstanding features of the McDonald park is the rat-a-tat-tat sounds made by this feathered fan behind the fence in right field. While he’s not quite equal to the Cleveland Indians’ famous centerfield drummer, Mr.Woodpecker gets a great sound when he raps away on the metal control panel on one of the McDonald light standards. Coach Mike Parrish and his McDonald crew can’t quite figure out why Mr. W. keeps rapping on the metal box, but he’s been doing it since the lights were installed last year. Maybe he’s just a big fan, just like the guy in Cleve...
