FanGraphs Audio: My 91-Year-Old Grandfather

Episode 235
The host’s 91-year-old grandfather, whose opinions have been documented previously within the electronic pages of FanGraphs, is the guest on this edition of FanGraphs Audio. Discussed: ways in which the host has failed to fulfill his potential. Also: the Yankees of the 1950s. And finally: management advice for the current iteration of the Boston Red Sox.

Awesome.

Reminds me of my dearly departed grandmother who, ~15 years ago, explained to my then-14-year-old sister that she would never get a job with the shoes she was wearing (she was wearing those 90’s Keds at the time).

Would love to hear from your two or three, whatever the case may be, other grandparents.

I guess with Kevin Goldstein’s mom no longer gracing the internet with her radiant presence, we’ll have to make due with Carson’s grandfather.

It was entertaining, thanks for publishing. I would enjoy a conversation between Dr Internet and Phil Cistulli, I feel it would have gravitas….and also not gravitas.
