Thanks syzygy.
A grid not seen before.
Took me a while to remember shock jock in 33a.
Also ballplayers as described in 27d were new to me.
But both of them easy to figure out from defs.

Liked 15d.

I liked 15d too. Very clever and subtle. Thanks for posting the link, syzygy.

Many thanks again syzygy, another novel theme if not overly difficult but an enjoyable way to start the week.

Thank you Syz!

You're all welcome.
Rather a mild offering this month.

Hardly taxing but most enjoyable. Thanks, syzzie.
