Jay, here.

One of the things that makes DSN fun is hearing from visitors to DSN - you make this fun for us to do. Hopefully, you’re having a good time on the site, as well.

And there have been a lot of you, too. Since August of 2007, we’ve had over one million visitors to DSN. So, thank you for being a part of our history.

Well, one of visitors alerted us to the fact that a former Duck will be making a little bit of history herself. Carrie sent this to us last week:

Hi,

I thought you and the “One Click Sports News” readers might be interested in some exciting news about a former alumni of the Ducks, Catherine Kraayeveld. As a current member of the New York Liberty, Kraayeveld will be taking part in the upcoming history-breaking “Liberty Outdoor Classic.” On Saturday, July 19th the Liberty will play the Indiana Fever in what will be the first regular season outdoor game in professional basketball history. The game will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium (the home of tennis’ U.S. Open), and a portion of the proceeds from the historic game’s ticket sales will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Come be a part of professional basketball history on July 19th!

Actually, there will be even more history made than that:

In addition to making professional basketball history, the Liberty Outdoor Classic, sponsored by American Express and The Hallmark Channel, will be the first non-tennis sporting event to take place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, which is the largest public outdoor tennis facility in the world.

You can read more about it here.

Thank you, Carrie.
