Overseas Baseball Podcast

Growing up in Wessington Springs, South Dakota, Sam at a young age was fascinated with woodwork and had a talent for making things out of wood. One of his high school hobbies was carving formula one cars from the quarter scale drawings featured in Road & Track. It is an annual pursuit he still follows today. He was also heavily involved in sports including football, basketball, track and field, and sporadically baseball. He had no idea it was the latter sport that he would eventually have a huge impact on. However first he spent 22 years as a stagehand for the National Arts Centre before finding his true calling of producing baseball's first maple bat.
