Jeff and Mark talk about the funny, odd and always entertaining history and characters from the greatest game there is, baseball. It's like if the San Diego Chicken and the Philly Fanatic had a baby that was raised by Max Patkin. Grab a hot dog and an adult beverage and "let's play two!"

    Episode 250 - They Still Let Us Make These?

    Wow, 250 baseball history episodes and they haven’t fired us yet. Alot to get though this week. Khrush Davis crushes cars now, the next gen baseball card relics, more whiskey content but this time baseball related, the weekly Seinfeld story and some ideas to keep pitchers healthy. Our main segment is all about 250. We look at a bunch of players who totaled 250 at something during their careers. Some are surprising and others are Sam Horn. We have a special Wax Pack Heroes episode with virtual cards from a long time listener. Are the cards stacked against one of us? Find out!

Thanks top listener Andrew Harner!

    Episode 248 - The Animal, Brad Lesley

    Episode 248 - The Animal, Brad Lesley

    What a weird week it’s been in baseball. Bees, cats and sausages are only the tip of the iceberg. Beanballs in Philly before a game, the Rockies refuse to take the lead and blue collar baseball cards are now a thing. But this is a baseball history podcast, so let’s talk about Brad Lesley. The Animal played briefly in MLB, but he became a star both on the field and on the silver screen once he moved to Japan. A mixture of professional wrestler and fireball closer, Lesley was our kind of guy.Game two of Wax Pack Heroes is a great one if you’re a fan of manager cards. Somebody has to be a fan of manager cards, right?
