In an alternate life, fungo taught high school English language to refugee and immigrant students in Manchester, New Hampshire.

He used baseball to interest his students in learning about American culture, and soon found the story of the Dodgers franchise form its days in Brooklyn through Lasorda's Dodgers to be particularly enthralling for his kids.

One assignment asked students to write paragraphs about racial representation in baseball, baseball players as heroes, or the importance of Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey in American history.

Fungo then recorded his students from all over the world reading their writing, and he took excerpts from those recording to include in the Farmhands song, Dodger Blue.
