TTO Episode 100: Whether You Like It Or Not (Probably Not)

Missing baseball already? This episode will help at least as much as thumbing through old issues of Baseball Digest. After a four month break, TTO shakes off none of the rust and talks life, Scoresheet, and everything in between. We recorded this podcast a week before the World Series, but we saw our shadow when we came out to record, so it took a few weeks to get the episode uploaded. Feel free to add that to your ever-growing list of complaints.
