I wonder if he prefers Derek. Or is he one of those guys that loves his own nickname 

Or it opens up another Rolodex of nicknames. D-Man, D-Train. D-Nice

Thanks; I have only been there once as a 12 year old boy when my Father wanted to go to Mexico and get some Tequila, while on vacation.  

We went to part of the town that looked like some thing you see in Westerns and we went inot a bar. There was one gent sitting at the end of the bar and the bar tender spoke no English.  Dad let the bar tender know he wanted Tequila, and the bar tender came back with what looked like a gallon.  Dad said no, no a small bottle.

The gent at the end of the bar soke English and said to get a small bottle,  go down the street to the liquor store and told us how to get there.  Things were a lot different down there back then.

I have a neighbor in my home town  sixty miles West of the Twin Cities, that is a Mezcal/Tequila semi-fanatic, or was till his wife got a bit unsettled; I have had a lot of different varieties in the past 5 years.

Since you mentioned western town and possibly going to SAC to see the TWINS next year, I have included a link to old SACRAMENTO. It is a pretty neat place to visit,,,gold rush days preserved. It's a few blocks from the stadium. https://www.poyst.com/business/old-sacramento-waterfront

Was 18 and silly enough to raise eyebrows every time I ordered a Sloe gin and coke. Dumb kids! That's not a thing!

I just threw up in my mouth a little at the sloe gin reference... 😅🤢

Is it still a surprise if you tell us about it?

Somebody may be popping out of the box to help the TWINS WIN.

That is a miniseries waiting to happen. Or at the very least,  a Lifetime movie. 🌵
