This week Larry and Christian sit down to cull three remarkable stories all about Adult Sports Leagues (softball featured prominently!) from Mr. Grant Olsen, Sam Berman, and Ben Tanzer. Among SO many other things we talk about the lingering triumph of stealing bases and missing signs, batting 1.000 and coaches who suck. We explicate getting beaned in the face (twice!) by very hard, very fast-moving spheres. And...we spin a tale of showing up to the softball diamond super-duper high and ready to play the best game of your life. Relive the glory days with the boys, and enjoy these well-spun yarns!
