<p>Just as WP Kinsella, via James Earl Jones, opined in the book Shoeless Joe and the film "Field of Dreams", The one constant through all the years,<strong> Ray</strong>, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

This podcast will bring you stories of people (Emerson observed that all history is, properly, biography) and places with a baseball connection.  I hope you enjoy it!  </p>
