Heavy J the New Manny Mota
I just listened to the best Hall Of Very Good podcast ever. Yes, the guys were their usual zany selfs thankfully but they were also
Very interesting thanks to Heavy J. They had many different conversations and their love of the game shined through.
Listen to it, you’ll enjoy too.
Came for Bob Kendrick, can’t leave! :)
Awesome variety of guests and lesser-known (to me, at least) baseball stories. I’m working through the many episodes with women from the AAGPBL; they’re delightful and inspiring. Thanks for bringing us these stories!
