M'Lynn loves snowboarding and baseball, and so does Shannon, which brings us here- the conversation that could have lasted hours but got cut short because our girl Chloe Kim had an Olympic gold medal to win.

Kinda? Not giving anything away on that one.  Learn more about M'Lynn- https://www.dailyherald.com/sports/20220204/gonzales-early-intro-to-baseball-fuels-the-fire-for-new-cubs-scout She hasn't written for Baseball America for a hot second but if you're into archives, check out this lovely site- https://www.baseballamerica.com/about-ba/authors/m-lynn-dease/   Follow Bat'HER Up on Instagram- @batherup_pod
