A Brief Baseball Rant - For Love Of The Game!
05/29/23 • 8 min
The tag line for the Follow Your Dream Podcast is “Music And Much More”. Well this episode is a “Much More” episode. It’s a brief rant about baseball, the “National Pastime” of the United States. Baseball has been around since the 1800s, and of course it’s changed and developed over time. I rant about some of the changes that particularly irk me or are inexplicable - but all for love of the game!
