Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – 1000TH EPISODE! July 20, 2015
IT IS FINALLY EPISODE 1,000!
Every single day since October 24, 2012, I have posted an original podcast episode. And now the streak has reached quadruple digits.
For show 1,000, I recorded video as well as audio. I performed in front of a studio audience at the Mid Peninsula Community Media Center in Palo Alto, California.
Comcast Sports Net personality Eireann Dolan was my guest and we discussed the state of the A’s and some of the trinkets that she and her boyfriend, A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle, have accumulated over the years.
Plus I give my thoughts on what I would do WHEN I become commissioner. (When, not if.)
It was a fun show and here is to the next 1,000 for The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is what I do.
