Mister Ron's Basement II episodes:

August 30, 2005 Mister Ron's Basement #113
Tue, Aug 30 2005 Mister Ron's Basement #113 'Horseshoes' by Ring Lardner (1914) -- a little lengthier than most stories here in the Basement, but loads of fun and really worth listening to. You'll find lots of namedropping here, including a terrific sequence involving Washington pitching legend Walter Johnson. There's an exciting and funny description of a World Series, very loosely based on the 1913 matchup between Philadelphia's Athletics and New York's Giants, but fictionalized, and with a couple of extra games thrown in. Time: approx forty-seven and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html
