HELLO! If you're new to these shenanigans, might I suggest starting with a different episode? This one is like the demo tape - a decent proof of concept, but it's not yet in the groove. It's too fast! They get decent around episode 003. Ok. Also, there's something of a "universe" here, but it's not sequential. You won't miss anything by skipping this one! This episode will probably go away when the next "season" starts. Fan Mail: NorthwoodsBaseball@gmail.com Home: http://www.sleepbaseball.com Produced by Mr. King. WSLP Producers: Philip T.
