I took a little something again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a little boy

Hello and welcome to episode 1880 of Effectively Wild, a fangrass baseball

podcast brought to you by our Patreon supporters. I'm Meg Raleigh, a

fangrass and I'm joined as always by Ben Limberger, the ringer. Ben, how are you?

Doing alright, Ben. I'm excited because we're closing out our 10th anniversary

week with an extra episode and as a result we are fittingly ending the week on

an episode number that's a multiple of five for all times six. Yeah, look at that.

How convenient. Well, I'm happy with how it's gone. It seems like people have

enjoyed these episodes and the plan which has been ever shifting right up

until this moment for anniversary week was to do one retrospective episode

with trivia and clips and tributes which we did and then one draft episode

with old hosts and friends which we did and then the idea was to do one interview

episode where we would talk to some of the baseball players or people we've

talked about most often over the course of the show. Now we struck out with a

couple of those people at least for now though those doors aren't closed

forever we can revisit that idea and another of those people agreed to come on

but couldn't make it work for this week so stay tuned. We hope that

conversation will be coming sometime soon so in that sense the 10th anniversary

celebration spirit will continue however we were able to land one of our most

wanted guests in time for this week Rich Hill is Rich Hill himself podcast legend

Red Sock starter Dick Mountain in the house the second oldest active major

leager the oldest pitcher the oldest American leager not to pick on him sorry
