Baseball and BBQ are well represented with World Series Champion, Jeremy Affeldt and Barbecue Enthusiast, Jon Solberg

Jeremy Affeldt is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, and San Francisco Giants.  His teams have played in four World Series; one on the losing side with the Colorado Rockies and three winning efforts with the San Francisco Giants.  He thrives under pressure and with ice in his veins was more suited to pitching out of the bullpen in high pressure situations. Jeremy shares lots of stories, many baseball related, such as the honesty he demonstrated when he gave back a significant sum of money to San Francisco Giants ownership which legally he could have kept due to a clerical contract error.  However, other stories involve his life outside of baseball including saving his dog's life, his multiple philanthropic endeavors and his newest project, Free Roam Brewing Company, a brewery with a significant buffalo related theme.  We are joined by Doug Scheiding who truly knows baseball and adds his own special flare.  For more information on Jeremy go to https://www.jeremyaffeldt.com/

Jon Solberg enjoys cooking outdoors and has been studying the art of live fire cooking for the last 30 years.  "Both low and slow, hot and fast, charcoal, wood, gas; it doesn't matter."  He loves to restore grills and smokers of all kinds.  He even makes his own charcoal.  We first learned of Jon from listening to the Embedded Correspondents segment on The BBQ Central Show.  Jon serves on the show as the Michigan Embedded Correspondent as well as the show's historian who assembles the weekly podcast, The Best Moments of the BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less.  One of the many things you notice when speaking to John is how humble he is.  He loves what he does, has his hands in all things barbecue, but is all about helping others.  Go to https://jonsolberg.com/ for more information on Jon and the paid services he is able to provide regarding barbecue, internet content, and voice over and post production work.

We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
