Episode 262 features unique barbecue and baseball stories with the president of AmazingRibs.com, Clint Cantwell and co-host of the National League Town podcast, Jeff Hysen while Chef Ray Sheehan assumes guest co-hosting duties.

Clint Cantwell is president of AmazingRibs.com which is a leading online resource for barbecue and grilling information. As president, Clint performs day-to-day operations, creates recipes, writes articles, shoots photos, and does whatever else is needed to help run the heavily heavily trafficked website. He is also a champion pitmaster and an outdoor cooking content creator. Clint was named one of the "10 Faces of Memphis Barbecue" by Memphis Magazine in May of 2015 and was the winner of the Travel Channel’s “American Grilled” nationwide cooking competition series. Clint previously worked as a public relations professional in New York City and shares two incredible baseball stories. One involves the 2000 World Series, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza, and a broken bat. The other involves Barry Bonds record breaking 756th home run baseball which is prominently displayed in the National Baseball Hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Jeff Hysen is a New York Mets fan. He channels his long-time love and vast knowledge of his favorite baseball team into the podcast, National League Town which he co-hosts with Greg Prince. There is a lot more than meets the eye with Jeff as he is a lawyer as well as a stand-up comedian. His ideas for improving the game of baseball are insightful and worth a listen by us as well as by those who are in charge of tinkering with the game's rules. This is a baseball discussion without arguments and with plenty of interesting information.

We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
