there's a #ConanWordle game I like to play during the show open, when guests introduce themselves and declare how they feel about being Conan's friend... I try to guess how they feel by their tone of voice... nailed it on this one

Visit @sebemina’s newsletter, READ ME, for an interview with @willmountaincox about a favorite pastime and what it symbolizes for him now.Bonus baseball connection, Relegation founder and publisher @dhudgns wrote a baseball novel, SEASON OF GENE:“Somewhere between incarceration and sainthood is Joe Rice, a man who relishes peace, painkillers, and his Friday-night baseball league. But when his business partner drops dead in the middle of a game, he is confronted by a suburban ex-mobster, his entrepreneurial son, and a gun-toting minister searching for a three-million-dollar Babe Ruth baseball bat that Joe knows nothing about.”And later published @danpaisner’s baseball novel, A SINGLE HAPPENED THING:“It’s the late Nineties on the Upper West Side and book publicist David Felb (née Felber, née Felberstein) can sense his world shrinking. He is stuck in the slow lane at ‘a venerable second-tier publishing house’ and feeling the encroaching changes technology will bring as he struggles to maintain a bond with his wife and three young daughters. Into the void steps Fred ‘Sure Shot’ Dunlap, a tweed-clad, waxed-mustached nineteenth-century baseball legend with still impeccable timing who died penniless and obscure and seems to need something from Felb. Or is it the other way around?”Read the rest of Will’s interview at sebemina.substack.com.
