Good morning and welcome to episode 982 of Effectively Wild, the Daily Podcasts for

baseball perspectives brought to you by the play index of baseballreference.com and our

Patreon supporters. I'm Sam Miller along with Benlinberg and today our special guest, Jeff

Paternostro, who is going to talk to us about the Yankees Farm System and the international

draft and we're going to get to that. Hi Jeff. Hi guys, how's it going? Good. But first I got a

little bit of housekeeping so hang on Jeff or jump in Jeff. That'd be fine too. Three things that are

you think Charlie Sheen got that in one take. Well, I'm pretty, I don't, it's not a complete,

them both to get it right, that would have been 49 takes. Anyway, so that's that keep looking for the

moment. I'm still interested in this topic. Two is that I, I found the tweet that some years ago,
