    2025/11/12

    Sean pitches a complete game - but then gets moved to the bullpen - with the story of Rogelio "Roger" Moret. Moret became a can't miss prospect with Boston but couldn't solidify his position in their rotation. His career would fade as fast as it rose and unfortunately he would be known more for an infamous moment in the Texas Rangers clubhouse than his pitching.

    2025/09/10

    Sean winds up and delivers the story of Pascual Perez, a slim, erratic pitcher who had one of the wildest careers in baseball history.

    2025/08/27

    Eds steps to the mound to tell the life story of Lou Novikoff; one of the game's purest hitters. Born in the Arizona desert to Russian immigrants, Lou tore it up on the fast-pitch diamond and worked his way to the majors becoming one of the most feared flash in the pan hitters of his day. He wasn't a Hall of Famer in Cooperstown but all who saw him play couldn't deny that "The Mad Russian" certainly made baseball more fun.

Sean and Eds record remotely this time as the number of Covid-19 cases is on the rise. Sean listens through the power of the internet as Eds tells the tale of baseball's one millionth run scored, how 4 men had their chances to ink their name to the pages of oddball history and how the contest was decided by a foot race 2400 miles apart.
