Like or not, gambling and baseball are forever tied. Episode 9 takes a look at that relationship.
First, I talk to gambler and author Joe Peta about his book Trading Bases, in which he chronicles his life change from Wall Street trader to baseball bettor.
Then contributor Sam Dingman tells how his gambling ties in with his love for the Baltimore Orioles, and terrible puns.
And I make yet another case for Pete Rose, with the MVP of My Heart.
Music:
Aviary, Ian MacNeil Brown
Lullaby, Ian MacNeil Brown
Mind Soaked, Dan Semotan
Shadows, DBS-6
