How You Play The Game

More Than Baseball

(Warning:  explicit language.)  In this episode, Jack and Sean interview Jeremy Wolf, the director of More Than Baseball, a charitable organization dedicated to providing necessary resources to minor league baseball players.  The state in which these players live is so poor that they cannot even afford reasonable sleeping accommodations or meals, let alone equipment.  The injustices here cross into the realm of treating others as you would wish to be treated, hence sportsmanship!  Some explicit language used.  Please keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Twitter/Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.
