BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - In the first half of the interview with Wes Helms and Charlie Poe, they talked about baseball and what it’s like coaching and mentoring young players.

This week, we’ve got the Poe and Helms talking about living in Birmingham, what it’s like at Regions Field, and of course... BBQ.

When asked what message he had for the fans, Helms responded with this:
