In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon are delighted to be with Wynne's five-year-old son, Mr. D.
Mr. D is so excited about starting on a Little League team that he asked to podcast about it. Which is saying something because he’s not as naturally voluble as his older sister.
We're clearly biased about our guest. But in our opinion listening to the enthusiasm of a kid excited about a team, a sport, and the crack of the ball against a bat stirs the well of our own passions.
Mr. D shows us all the equipment necessary for Little League – including our favorite, the bubble gum.
We talk about the magic that often happens when we go to MLB games. Vicki tells us about the ball parks and teams in Chicago.
This podcast meanders a bit as we ride along with a young and curious guest. But he brings it all together with an incredible answer when Vicki asks him what he likes best a little before minute 17 in the recording.
We also included a little easter egg at the end at minute 19. Mr. D shows you don’t have to know how to spell in order to capture hearts.
Join us as we explore the scenic and beautiful places we go when we tell baseball stories. You won't want to miss this heart-warming and refreshing perspective of five-year-old Mr. D!
We know you’ll love it!
