Episode 295 features baseball gaijin, Tony Barnette and an encore presentation of Barbecue Hall of Fame member, Lee Ann Whippen

Tony Barnette is a former professional baseball pitcher and the main subject of the book, A Baseball Gaijin: Chasing a Dream to Japan and Back written by our previous guest, Aaron Fischman. Tony played in Major League Baseball for the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs and in Nippon Professional Baseball for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Tony took a nontraditional route to the Major Leagues. He started in the MLB's minor leagues, spent six years pitching in Japan for Tokyo's Yakult Swallows, and then at the age of 32 had his first cup of coffee with the Major League's, Texas Rangers. Thank you to Aaron Fischman for helping to to arrange this.

Lee Ann Whippen is a member of the Barbecue Hall of Fame. She developed her love of cooking barbecue from an early age learning from her dad and she has used that knowledge and love to become an extremely well-known and respected pitmaster. As a competition cook she has won multiple world, national, and state barbecue championships. On television she has shone brightly on various competition shows, winning the premier season of BBQ Brawl on Food Network and defeating Bobby Flay on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. She is also a restaurateur who has owned restaurants in Virginia, Illinois, and Florida. She is co-host of the podcast, BBQ Nation with Jeff Tracy.
