## Resource

Jayson Stark, Hall of Fame baseball writer, joins our Hall of Fame baseball writer Tim Kurkjian and his son, Jeff, for a conversation that every baseball fan will love. We talk about their day-by-day books, how they used to look up stats, and just how nerdy they really are! It’s all love between these two seamheads, that’s for sure. They are both incredibly curious people, and that curiosity has shown throughout their long and accomplished writing careers. We learn more about Jayson’s mother, who was also a writer, and how he somehow ended up as the only sports lover in his family. He certainly beat the odds! Jayson also manages to stump Tim with a baseball fun fact, which is exactly what these two do to each other. They have a very long and special relationship, and as Jeff said, “Being a fly on the wall with you two is special for any baseball fan.” Tim Kurkjian describes Jayson as a “dog grabbing onto your pant” when it comes to finding a story. That might be the ultimate compliment coming from Tim! Thanks to Jayson for taking the time to join our little show. But most importantly, thank YOU for listening!
