Yeah.
I mean, most of the stories I do have that have that tint.
So yeah, it's like I like I because I pursue for every story that I do end up pursuing and producing, there are probably five more that I look into.
And then there's just, there's not enough there.
So yeah, for my first season, what was really interesting to me was when
I read this article on Moonlight Graham.
So Doc Graham, who is known for Field of Dreams.
And I read this article and I didn't know that he was a real guy.
I'm like, what?
What's going on there?
And so I started to do research and found out that
The guy who wrote the book, Shoeless Joe, he had this baseball almanac that he got as a gift for Christmas.
And he was looking through it and he found Moonlight Graham.
One appearance in this major league game, I don't know what year it was, like 1912 maybe?
But he never had a plate appearance.
And so that was the impetus to including him in the movie.
And to me, the true story was more interesting than the fiction.
So that was amazing, and I wanted to dig into that and tell that story.
And as I did that, like I told you about my move to therapy and little by little, well, this was faster, but little by little, as I continued to do episodes, I had this voice inside of me that wanted to go back to Field of Dreams.
and like doc Graham and, and do more stories.
