Searching Amazon for "dry sauna"
Ha yeah. I did a dry sauna once at a fancy resort (American Club in Kohler, WI) many years ago. Made a real impression.

2059.1 - Letter to Manuel 'Eyechart' Ramirez from Todd 'TNT' Tatlock (3/1/59)

https://renumali.github.io/bba/tatlock_todd_2059.jpg Dear Eyechart, You know how guys always say "I'm in the best shape of my life" even after a winter of noshing chips and dogs? God knows I've done that, specially down in New Bayou! Well, coach, I'm in the best shape of my life for reals. A lot of...

Re: Preference for a shoeless Podcast

I love all the ideas. I would love one where you interview a fictitious player. I tried my hand at podcast recording last season doing just this and failed miserably at the recording aspect. I played a sports dee-jay and a friend of mine played one of my players (Joe Melucci, naturally). But the rec...

Ah, nice! I take it this means he's signed with you? Weren't you worried that he wasn't going to sign? Thanks, and yes I was a bit worried - probably could've baked that into Seshadri's letter somehow. Meanwhile, all the later rounds guys I auto picked have already been gobbling up at bats and inni...

https://renumali.github.io/bba/seshadri_draft.jpg Namaskara, Enclosed is one of the cards that got printed for this year's draft class. I like it because it has "1st round" on it. And it's the first card with the team that drafted me. And they spelled my name correctly. In many ways, I still cannot...

2058.02 - Letter to Jenkins, from Ferguson dated 04/28/2058

Jenks, I know you got my email but seriously, thank you for the card. Signed Melucci is definitely a keeper. The guy has become a regular guest over at The Beef. He's actually a pretty smart guy. And yes, I still do have the rookie Bodine you sent last year. It's around here somewhere. Reason for th...

Re: 2058.01 - Letter to Fergie, from Jenks dated 03/06/2058

Thanks for the replies! Cubs pitcher Fergie Jenkins was definitely the inspiration for the names of the brothers - and not because I'm a Cubs fan (far far far far from it !!!) - but apart from really liking his name and the story of his career and life, the 1971 Topps card I used as a model for the ...

Dear Fergie, Yo, bro! I participated in one of them spring training live breaks they do on the viz and I had a few credits and I thought of you so I bought Chicago for one of the last boxes. It's amazing how cheap some of the teams go for right now, considering all the subsets they throw in. I've be...

Manchu Kim erroneously released by Tokyo Pearls

Hey, there. I erroneously released Manchu Kim from the Tokyo Pearls organization. He came off a long stint on the injured list and I forgot to activate him. Can you re-instate Kim with the Pearls?
