Memorial Day has always been a date that's been used as a measuring stick for baseball teams. The first two months of the season complete, now it's time to turn our attention to June and the push before the All-Star break. This next month and a half really separate the contenders from the pretenders.
I thought it would be appropriate to talk baseball with our expert Jeff Wilder and cover a wide range of topics from division races, best ballparks and new rules for little league.
Today's podcast means a little more to me. As you know, Jeff and I grew up best friends and I told the story of how three week's ago, his dad was involved in a freak accident that leaves him paralyzed and recovering in ICU at a hospital in Chicago. Not only is this podcast about baseball, but we take some time to talk about his dad and some of the funny stories I remember growing up.
This is part baseball, part therapy for me hoping that this takes Jeff's mind off the everyday struggles his family is facing right now.
