A few weeks ago, writer and performer Michael Bernard was my guest on the podcast, talking about the show he wrote and helped create, “Baseball Swing with the All Star Baseball Jazz Band.”
Well, our conversation kept going and we remembered what it was like living in New York as Red Sox fans during the peak of the rivalry, 2003 and 2004.
That part of the conversation is today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball Is there anything they can do with old ballparks after the team moves out except demolition?
— James Johnson (@JDawgJohnson) April 25, 2014
While most stadiums see the wrecking ball or dynamite, there have been some ballparks that have found new life after their teams left.

The Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in baseball. And with Carlos Gomez, Matt Garza, Ryan Braun and Francisco Rodriguez doing well, they have some of the hardest players to root for in the game.
In a strange way, that could be their appeal!
I explain why on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Dodgers have a lot of issues and need to address some lack of production. Despite that, they are off to a terrific start. And they should thank the horrible Arizona Diamondbacks for that.
