137. Tomi Korkeamaki: A Miami Honeymoon, Baseball Therapy, & Following the Fish from Finland

Tomi Korkeamaki is a Miami Marlins fan from Vaasa, Finland. In 2016, with their October honeymoon planned for Miami, Tomi and his wife were rooting for the Marlins to make the postseason to have a chance to see live baseball while in America. That was of course the year of José Fernandez’s tragic death, which would happen just a few weeks before Tomi and his wife left for Miami. Even though he wouldn’t get a chance to see them play in person, Tomi continued to follow along with the Marlins from overseas and became more and more attached to the team. We discuss the process of Tomi finding his way to the Marlins, how he and his friend Ville started the podcast Baseball Terapia – which translates to Baseball Therapy, and we hear an incredible story about a random baseball Tomi pulled out of a bucket of balls being sold at a market.
