STEVE WHITE BIO
This is Steve White the host of This Day in Sports History. Thanks for listening to this episode. So I’m up for an award. I made the shortlist for the Best Sports Talk Podcast in 2024. There are some heavy hitters in this category such as the Kelce brothers, Scott Van Pelt, and Bill Rhoden. There’s not much hope for me winning against those guys but if you’re a fan of the show then you may know that one of my favorite sports movies is Will Ferrell’s Semi Pro and one of the things in the movie is his effort to get his team to finish in fourth place. So I’ve poached that idea and would love for you to help me finish in fourth place. I’ve put a link in the show notes that will take you to the page. You can only vote once in the category so if you would cast your vote for my podcast, that would be so awesome. https://bit.ly/3VAhJ3P
