For the best and the best looks great now baby

Don't think of you as a mine of gold make you a gold gold brown

Say to me I'm looking at the TV and the building holes and everything that I can

Feel it come my down, feel it all, feel it all, feel it all, feel it all

Feel it come my down, feel it all, feel it all, feel it all

Hello and welcome to episode 1970 of Effectively Wild, a baseball podcast from

Bandcrafts presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of the Ringer joined by Meg Rally of Bandcrafts.

Hello Meg.

Hello.

I went out to get some tea before we started recording and my wife was on a Zoom meeting at work

And I just overheard her saying something and I wasn't sure what the context was but I heard her saying

I'm not the biggest baseball fan but there's one baseball fan I really really love.

And his name is Shoheotani and when I need to be cheered up I just go to Twitter or Instagram and I look up

Shoheotani is always smiling and he's always laughing and he's so nice and such a good nature guy.

I didn't know why she was talking about Shoheotani on a work related meeting and then I found out later that they were doing an icebreaker

And the question was who you would invite to dinner.

So her answer was Shoheotani.

So Shoheotani you have a standing invitation to attend dinner with me and Jesse anytime.

Would you ask him if he has contemplated a contract extension with Los Angeles Angels?

Because I know that was something he had to answer for today and camp.

I don't think I would. I don't think I would invite him to dinner and then subject him to questions about his contracts.
