    Great to have the pod, wonderful guests, particularly Braves historian Sam Wallace. I would listen more often but for the host. He certainly makes his guests comfortable but he injects too much of his personal story and misses opportunities for context. The Sid Bream episode should have reminded listeners who Bream is, the era he played, etc without assuming a 40+ lifelong Braves fan was the listener.
