D.C.: Meet Defector At The Ballpark
Before the end of the season, come hang out at a baseball game in one of the cities where multiple Defector staffers reside. We’ll be doing Defector & Friends at the Ballpark in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and D.C. Make sure you wear your finest Defector merch so other readers can spot you, or at least carry around a printout of Devin the Dugong.
