Love Letters to Baseball
by Jackson Roberts
Love Letters to Baseball is a platform for sharing the perspectives of people whose baseball journeys have taken vastly different paths. From Little League all the way to Cooperstown, no two baseball players or fans see the game through exactly the same lens, and I wanted to give as many baseball junkies as I could the opportunity to share their stories. Each episode will include an in-depth discussion of the guest's experience within the game of baseball, as well as trivia questions and one-on-one fantasy drafts tailored specifically to their background.
