Fred Lynn Is America's Fishing Buddy

Former major leaguer Fred Lynn is probably one of the nicest guys on the planet. He's a man who's brimming with self-contentedness and is disarmingly friendly.

During a phone conversation with Fred Lynn last week, as part of his promotional duties for MLB.com's "Rookie Of The Month" campaign, we discussed a few topics, but mostly talked about ESPN's BIll Simmons' obsession with him. Or, rather, I dwelled on that fact. It's safe to say I probably won't be hosting my own podcast show in the near future.
