Sean and Eds Do Baseball

Sean and Eds Do Baseball is a bi-weekly baseball history podcast where two friends take turns telling each other a story from the history of the game.

  1. NOV 13

    120 Phil Marchildon

    The boys return to the battery after a short break with the life story of yet another fellow country man; this time it's Phil Marchildon. In the spirit of Remembrance / Veteran's Day Eds toes the rubber and tells Sean about Phil's humble beginnings on the shores of Georgian Bay, his late start into baseball and his heroic venture to war, where he became a POW and suffered the effects that further curtailed a promising baseball career.

    RE-RUN 26 Giants, Pilots, and Beers. Oh My!

    As the MLB season comes to a close and Sean spends time off with a growing family; the boys revisit an old episode from October of 2020 in which Eds tells Sean, and friend of the show Jean Poincelet about a wild offseason almost 50 years ago that nearly brought a struggling west coast franchise back across the continent and north of the border.This is the story of a volatile era in baseball where expansion was quickly changing the landscape of Major League Baseball, and how one man's renegade actions started a chain of events that would ultimately bring to fruition the dream of another man north of the 49th parallel.

    119 Tessie

    Sean goes from the windup to tell Eds the wild story of the first official World Series in 1903; as well as the legendary group of fans that helped turn the series in Boston's favour. 101 years later the song they sang would gain new life and Boston would once again win it all in October!

    118 The 1969 Mets

    Eds throws a knuckler and continues an October tradition with a story from the MLB postseason, but he also continues a Sean and Eds Do Baseball tradition with a story of the Mets. The Miracle Mets; the key cast members that made them and all the reasons that nickname was so apt. They weren't expected to do much of anything but a perfect chain of events helped the Mets go from mediocrity to might for one miraculous season.

    117 Melissa Ludtke

    Sean throws a quality start with the story of baseball writer and journalist Melissa Ludtke. Her love of baseball lead her to write for Sports Illustrated but a confrontation with Bowie Kuhn during the 1977 World Series changed baseball for the better and set a precedent for women reporters everywhere. https://www.melissaludtke.com/locker-room-talk

    RE-RUN of 14 The CPL, Jesse Cole, and the Savannah Bananas from April 2020

    In honour of Eds' vacation to Cooperstown we are re-running our early episode on The Savannah Bananas before they blew up to the point of having their own pop up display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.   Sean digs into the relatively young story of the Coastal Plain League, a collegiate wood bat league with some colourful characters throughout its short history.

    116 Arthur Lawrence "Bugs" Raymond

    Sean stands atop the hill and delivers a spitball with the short wild life and career of Arthur "Bugs" Raymond. One of the premier spitballers of his day Raymond's NY Giants Manager John McGraw would do all he could to keep his star pitcher sober but to no avail.

    115 William "Bunk" Congalton

    Eds steps to the rubber with a fastball. The story of Guelph, Ontario's own William "Bunk" Congalton; who found his way into his local Sports Hall of Fame after a career gardening for a laundry list of colourfully named clubs, all before his untimely death at the Indians game, at the age of 62 or 59.
