As mjd said about the women's college basketball tournament getting more TV time than the men's tournament, this is "one of the things in the world that truly makes no sense." Ryan Klesko, who last was relevant in baseball discussions pretty much when Otis Nixon was, is the star of the "Ryan Klesko's Adventures" on The Outdoors Channel. Don't ask me how the heck Klesko gets a TV show, but the Contra Costa Times has information about what to expect on the show:He has hunted turkey in Sonoma County, whitetail deer in Ohio, pheasant in Southern California, mountain sheep in Spain and elk in Oregon. He mixed in some bass fishing in Georgia, deep-sea fishing off the California coast, salmon fishing on the Russian River and abalone diving in Bodega Bay.That's type of stuff is cool and all, but the best part is Klesko says he used to spend time in the outdoors with his former Braves teammates:
"We'd go fishing, hunting or skeet shooting on off-days," said Klesko, who was often joined by Deion Sanders or Marquis Grissom.Wow, what I would give to have been part of that hunting group! Are you kidding me? Ryan Klesko, Deion Sanders, and Marquis Grissom?!?! Surely you can't be serious.
If you missed this morning's 6am showing, you can check it out Saturday at 1pm ET.

Been tuned into this show for awhile now, i think they're starting through the re-runs. Rhino,of the Blue Rhino foundation and SF Giants, pulls this outdoor show off with genuine knowledge and talent.
I once turned down the catchers spot on a all star connie Mack league team that was slated to tour America and Europe because it was going to interfear with my bow hunting season. 3 sports, played never ending, heck with that, i'm going hunting.
Outdoors and Baseball mix well and Ryan really showcases passion for the outdoor sports and his foundation for sick kids. This will last far beyond his ball playing days. I, for one, have become a impressed new fan.
