In what I wouldn't quite call one of our "Cutting Room Floor" episodes, Nick and I explore the topic of potential Frontier League expansion locations while recording Episode 230 of Indy Ball Report last week. Finding ourselves with a full single-topic mini-episode from that conversation, we opted to release it here on Indy Ball Nation as a podcast exclusive rather than risk it getting lost in an extra-long Indy Ball Report episode. I hope you enjoy!   While this is audio-only content, Indy Ball Nation is available in video form at the Indy Ball Nation YouTube channel.

We're eating scraps, y'all! As I detail in the show open, many episodes I record with Indy Ball Report have plenty of excess content. Much of this needs to be burned to prevent my immediate arrest. As for everything else, Nick has been kind (or cruel) enough to package it up and send it my way. Perhaps you'll find something you'll enjoy in all the leftovers! If nothing else, maybe you'll appreciate the other content that we have not edited out even more.    4:48-16:00 Assorted Pecos League Talk 16:01-19:18 New Jersey Jackals Attendance Woes 19:19-41:44 Atlantic City, New Orleans, and potential expansion targets 41:45-48:35 Unstructured & Unplanned Story Time   Indy Ball Nation is available in video form at the Indy Ball Nation YouTube channel.
