His latest project is Perfect Eloquence: An Appreciation of Vin Scully which is a collection of 67 essays, one representing each season of his career calling games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1950 through 2016. Written by various essayists, some more well known than others, but all with heartfelt thoughts which reflect on the ways his professional and private life influenced them. The collection includes fellow broadcasters as well as historians, players, journalists, celebrities, and others connected to the game of baseball, with each piece introduced by Tom.

Brad Vollmer is a great example of what can happen when a backyard cook becomes a competition winning cook through hard work and dedication. Brad is a member of the Meat's My Mistress Barbeque Team, which counts Danny Wilk's, My Dad's BBQ as one of its sponsors as well as being a brand ambassador for The Good Charcoal which was founded by Ben Jablonski and Rob Silverman. Brad has been busy with his latest project and is ready to come to market with two barbecue sauces. Brad knows the sauce business is tough, but he is prepared to do what it takes to be successful and share his sauces with consumers hungry for a quality product.
