Summary

Hear singer, songwriter, and actor Nick Jonas lend his voice to the history of one of his favorite subjects: baseball. 

This unique story is written specifically to help you drift off, with no clear beginning, middle, or end, so you don’t need to follow the details too closely. In it, you’ll hear Nick Jonas describe how Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams reached legendary status, and how they shaped the three components of a perfect swing. 

What is the perfect swing? You might be asleep before you find out.

This title is part of a collection of audio experiences created to deliver your best sleep during this difficult time. While we’re giving this away for free, we’ll also be donating meals daily through Newark Working Kitchens so those in need and first responders don’t go to bed hungry.

Brought to you in collaboration with Thrive Global.

Interesting info.

I'm not all that clued up on baseball so this was quite interesting. TBH I expected something about swing music, lol.

NThe PERFECT swing

The calm melodic voice of Nick Jonas was perfectly in keeping with the subtle game of baseball. No one could have been a better narrator. Written by James McGirk who's sultry words equally perfect on the beautiful game of baseball and it's giants. Perfectly cone by both. Bravo.
