This is the High Hopes Podcast.

Talking about the Philadelphia Phillies on radio.

and Sports Radio 94 WIP.

Hi Hope listeners, I am Tim Kelly.

This is Edition Number One of Mound Visit in 2019 episode

number three overall, and as always I am appreciative of you guys for

tuning in. I'm not a big New Year's resolution guy but one of the changes I

want to make in 2019 is to read things that don't necessarily translate to read things essentially

just to read them and to become more knowledgeable I think I love writing I love

that people read my work on both 94 WIP.com and on Phillies Nation.com that's all

well and good and that's the dream man but one of the things I think I get too

caught up in sometimes is reading what is the latest rumor about where Bryce Harper or Manny Machado is going to sign?

What is the what did Reese Hoskins have to say about the questionable play that Odubel Herrera made in the

outfield today?

And it kind of clouds the fact that I love reading about the history of sports, baseball

specifically, but the history of all sports.

So those two things kind of intersected when I found this book.

It's called Now Taking the Field.
