Nice job with the podcast, fellas. Met you both down at First Pitch FLA (my buddy was on Reuven’s panel). I appreciate the callout of Evans as a former Met. I’ve been seeing his name floating around the last few days and couldn’t figure out why it was so familiar, but that was the reason – thanks!
Awesome!
