Episode 316 features legendary Hall of Fame pitcher, Walter Johnson's grandson, Henry Thomas and the Seattle Mariners kitchen supervisor and smoker of meats, Chef Dillon Scott Henry W. "Hank" Thomas is the grandson of the legendary Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Walter Johnson.  He is the author of the biography Walter Johnson: Baseball's Big Train, and has dedicated himself to preserving his grandfather's legacy after Walter Johnson passed away when Henry was only eight months old.  Hank does an excellent job of preserving his grandfather's memory and offers us a unique look at one of the first five members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dillon Scott is the kitchen supervisor and smoker of meats for the Seattle Mariners.  Dillon shares stories of what it is like to cook for a Major League Baseball team.  There are dietary needs to be aware of, international foods which must be well cooked, and even favorite family recipes of the players which may need preparation.  Dillon takes us behind the scenes for a fascinating look at another aspect of a Major League Team which we as fans overlook.
