Bill Chuck is a baseball writer and researcher and has a weekly column in the Chicago Sun-Times.  His latest book, In Scoring Position:  40 Years Of A Baseball Love Affair which he co-authored with Bob Ryan is destined to become a baseball fan’s favorite.  This interview is sure to become a Baseball and BBQ listener fan favorite.  From the moment we began our discussion, we knew this was not an interview with a stranger, but a discussion amongst friends.  Bill loves baseball and that love is evident as he regales us with fascinating baseball stories and incredible statistics.

Leroy Hite is the founder of Cutting Edge Firewood, a company dedicated to providing the finest firewood and cooking wood delivered direct to the consumer.  Leroy started the business in 2013 and the story of his journey is most fascinating.  He and his wife took a gamble on themselves and an idea and that gamble paid off.  Wood is an essential ingredient when smoking, and his product is amongst the industry’s finest.  After listening to our conversation, go to https://www.cuttingedgefirewood.com for more information.
