The Baseball Lifer Podcast Christmas special

On June 20, 1964, Jean Shepherd, then a radio personality on WOR in New York talked about his summer spent broadcasting minor league baseball after his discharge from the army. This performance took place before a live audience at the Limelight Cafe in New York's Greenwich Village. This was long before Shepherd would win worldwide fame with the classic movie "A Christmas Story." As a fan of his since my teenage years, it's my delight to share this piece with you.
