Calling My Shots

callingmyshotspodcasters.spotify.com
Calling My Shots is an entertaining sports show featuring Baseball, Football, and Hockey analysis. We cover sports that are often overlooked and provide in depth analysis. We derived our name from Babe Ruth infamously pointing to the center field flagpole, during the 1932 World Series, effectively calling his shot by mashing a home run on the very next pitch. Listen as we call our shots throughout the sports industry.
