On this episode of the Irish Baseball Podcast, host Rick Becker talks with James Christopher of the "Lets Get Two" podcast. James, an Astros fan who is also a member of the Irish American Baseball Society, travels to minor league ballparks around the country.
James believes the soul of baseball can be found in the minors:
“I will go to way more Minor League games than I will go to Minute Maid Park this year, and I think it is because I think that the heart of the game exists in all these other communities. I don’t think the heart of the game exists in the thirty Major League cities anymore.”
