    Not a Baseball Podcast, But Actually it is | Ball 5 Episode 1

    In the first episode of Ball 5, Nicky Cass and his best friend Perry kick things off the only way they know how: with the realest parts of the game. No stats, no analytics—just the beauty of baseball in its purest form. The bus rides. The locker room debates. The cafeteria hypotheticals. The moments that turn teammates into family. We bring on big leaguers, we get goofy, we get deep, and at the end of the day, we are ballplayers. Anyone can play baseball, but a ballplayer takes the game’s best lessons and carries them into everything they do. If you love baseball for the memories, the camaraderie, and the life it gives you—this is your podcast. Welcome to Ball 5.
