0:00.0	Hey everyone and welcome to episode number 53 of the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of
0:04.8	John Boy Media. And you know what? We got a special episode for you today because I went through the
0:09.8	employee Rolodex and after like Lucas and Sam and Rob Chiracroko all turned it down, I had to go to this guy.
0:22.9	So I'm going to welcome in the former major leaguer. You know him from farm to fame with Kelsey Winger. Pete Moyland. Hello, Pete. How are you?
0:29.2	I'm great. Rosie, how are you, buddy? I'm doing great. So really, I'm going to take this opportunity
0:33.6	to break some news here. You're really not Australian. You're from the Bronx, and this has been a fake accent that we've seen for the last two decades in Major League Baseball, right?

1:38.5	I have to find where my son can do this.
1:45.4	So he bought me a plastic, racked, glove, bat, ball combination that you get at the games. And it was,
