Guest in this Podcast -Paul Francis Sullivan “Please Call Him Sully”:

We had a big show planned for almost an hour worth of content, instead we did our best Paul Sullivan impersonation (and not very well), as he is the 20 minute master when it comes to a podcast. 

We would like to thank Sully very much for trying to hang in with us.  We had about a 14 minute chat with him.  There are still some great points that he made about the ALL – Star Game and the format for which it used to decipher home field advantage in the World Series, and it is definitely worth a listen.
