We're a wild pit, wonderful, living a life, playing the role we were born at, wonderful,

and can last long, in order to you, and just love that once.

Hello and welcome to episode 1150 of Effectively Wildly Fangrips,

baseball podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters, I am Jeff Sullivan,

the fangrips joined as typical by Ben Lindbergh of the ringer.

That sounded like I was disappointed.

Join us, Daniel.

I've been Lindbergh of the ringer.

Hi, Ben, how are you?

Same old Ben Lindbergh.

Hello, I'm doing well.

And update on our raffle, still raffling, and raffling really well so far.

So if you did not catch the intro to yesterday's episode,

we are holding a raffle right now to benefit Houston and Hurricane Harvey relief,

and we are offering up a few Effectively Wild related items of signed books,

signed t-shirt, signed mic that was used for many hundreds, more than a thousand,

Effectively Wild episodes before it kind of kicked the bucket recently,

and Russell Carlton, frequent Effectively Wild guest, has now offered up a signed copy of his forthcoming book as well.

So lots of good stuff, and people seem to be responding to it,

getting lots of donations made to the Hurricane Harvey relief fund,

and forwarded to us to enter those people into a random drawing.

So if you're interested, just go to our Facebook group, facebook.com,
