Re: 5 GU Questions with Mark Clayton
We already have a interview with a baseball player ready to go. He's a guy who played for 8 teams here in the states and is currently playing in Japan. I'll let people digest the Mark Clayton piece before posting the next one.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm having a blast doing it.
