what’s that, you want some good baseball fiction?:
For the first time in about two years, I published some fiction today over at Hobart. The story is about an umpire. It’s pretty short. I hope you check it out.

The Pete and Ted Show, episode one.
Eric Nusbaum and Craig Robinson (currently writing in the third person) live in Mexico City. They both like baseball. And talking. (I’m gonna abandon the third person thing now.) So we decided to occasionally record what we talk about when we go out to a bar. And it will then be preserved forever as a podcast.
For the time being, it’s not gonna be on iTunes.
Here’s episode one.
