Outta The Park

Ouuta The Park: Life After Baseball

This week we begin a series of podcasts focusing on what becomes of MLB players once their playing days are done

This week Steve Delabar takes us through the journey that took him from the All-Star game in 2013 to owning and operating a landscape business in 2020.

NUTS!

We say that a LOT on this show. The McFarlands, the stewards of The Growing Season, chat about many of the plant materials that bear nuts and produce seeds.

What are the unique needs for trees that grow nuts? Are they insect pollinated or wind pollinated? You'll be surprised by the answer.

From how many sunflower seeds an MLB team goes through in a single game to the difference between hazelnuts and filberts Jack, Lynne and Matt cover it all.
