Audio of Interview with Yankees Beat Reporter Jim Baumbach

[patchyfogg]

We had Newsday’s Yankees beat writer Jim Baumbach on live with us on my 100% commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Long Island Sports Talk radio show tonight.

 

Jim was kind enough to give us a plug in his Blog:

It was a late booking, so I didn’t have the chance to solicit questions here as I usually would.

 

The interview is 19+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Yankees talk, and it’s in MP3 format. I hope you enjoy.
