Home Run Dugout is the real-life story of a dream, and the team that is working to see it through. Nick Hermandorfer (probably German for Home Run), the self-proclaimed "number one drafted little leaguer in all of Texas," and Tyler "Bam Bam" Bambrick met through Nick's little brother AJ -- the Cooper Manning of this story. Nick was just finishing business school at UT, and Tyler was just finishing 5 years in the military. On a fishing boat in Canada, the two swapped stories about life and wondered what came after deployments and diplomas. They agreed that hitting a home run was the best feeling they could remember, and wanted to bring that experience to everyone. Nick wanted to build a place that played up the fun around baseball and eliminated the intimidation. Somewhere friends, coworkers, and dates could impress each other without the fastballs and sweaty, rented helmets. There's a reason no one goes to the batting cages on a first date. Popcorn for dinner, anyone?
