It's the end of the year

It's the end of the year

But it's not too late

But it's not too late.

Hello and welcome to episode 1949 of Effectively Wild, the Fangrass baseball podcast brought

you by our Patreon supporters.

I'm Aigralio Fangrass and I am joined as always by Ben Lemberg of the Ringer.

Ben, how are you?

Well, I've been a bit of a nomad this week.

What was week after Christmas travel?

So I've recorded from a few different places.

Jesse's family's place.

My family's place.

So I am currently coming to you from literally my mom's basement.

So I apologize for any background noises that maybe picked up here.

I hear dog fingernails clicking and clacking above me and people chatting and perhaps babies

making baby sounds at some point.

So that will just be an occupational hazard here.

But appropriate that I'm ending the year from my mom's basement probably.

Yeah.

I will reassure you that in the time that you were talking, I heard only your voice

and no delightful atmosphere of family whatsoever.
