“My buddy Rich knows how to throw a party! His bash in the Hamptons was something to remember. I met some cool folks, enjoyed great food and drinks, and we even got to swing some bats with midnight baseball in his yard. Big shoutout to Rich for being the ultimate host and making it a night to remember!”
— Johnny Damon
