Text the showThis time around we're wrapping up playing for multiple teams in a tournament in a different country! How does playing far away from home make some things easier, but also adds stress? What have I learned to help reduce that stress and just make it a fun getaway? How different is it playing for multiple teams when both teams play multiple times a day? All that and Uncrustables talk. Support the showWant more from The Beer Leaguer?
