I really like the way Sahadev covers baseball. He's making us smarter fans with the way he breaks down the game. This episode, is all about how it almost didn't happen for him. He was working outside of sports before he decided to succeed or fail at what he's passionate about. Don't worry, there's a ton of baseball geeking out in here too. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/house-of-l-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
