    Hey Guys, I’m a Houston native, Texas Aggie living in Corpus Christi for the past 30 years. I’ve been a Foul Territory listener for a while and a devoted listener to Crush City Territory. I really appreciate the insight that you guys provide and the sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek undertones make the show even more enjoyable. Thanks for making my windshield time enjoyable with great baseball talk and a dose of witty sense of humor.
