Most Moonlighters have chased their dream on the field or court. This week, our Moonlighter chased his dream into the woodshop.

This week Tim connects with Jeremy Mitchell of Nashville, TN to talk about their shared passion for baseball. These two baseball nuts cover everything from collecting cards to their visits to Fenway.
