Baseball Rabbithole Michael Cotton

In this inning of the Baseball Rabbithole, you get to hear what I sounded like when I had COVID and you get to learn about mascots.

I wanted to know more about how baseballs were made and fell down a rabbithole about the manufacturing of baseballs that includes plenty of corruption and conspiracies. 

In a Rabbithole off of a Rabbithole, I go looking for balls. 

Who held the single season home run record before Babe Ruth? It's over a century of controversy.

I delve into the history of the Wrigley Field Bleachers and it takes me on a looooong journey to the South Side and Comiskey Park. It's a Red Line El episode, sort of, so check it out.

In this inning, I look at the oldest and youngest All Star players in the history of MLB and along the way, the rabbitholes take me to baseball stadium names, the DH, and an extraordinarily long career.
