Our guest this week is North Platte 80s PBP broadcaster Harmon Johnsen. He details for us what it's like to be an official scorer for the league, not to mention what it takes to give a quality broadcast of his team's games at pecosleague.tv. You'll get some insight on how baseball has become a family affair for him. It's just another great story that has emerged from the Pecos League this year, and a pleasure to bring it to you.

We recorded this one early on a Saturday morning, so I took the opportunity to kid Evan about it at the top of the show. Listen in for some laughs and some great tales from "baseball's entry level!"
