Episode 347 - Reflections on the London Series
We'll have a new pod later this week wrapping up another brilliant moment in British baseball history.
In the meantime, we've brought together all the conversations we had this weekend into a single pod. These were peppered across the weekend, but we wanted as many of you as possible to hear them all - plus a couple of others we didn't include - as they offer brilliant reflections on the meaning of these series from across the baseball world. As a European fan, it's a heartening listen - and we proved them all right!
You'll hear from Sean Manaea, Whit Merrifield, Dave Dombrowski, Tony Clark, Felix White, Doug Glanville and Shane Victorino.
And from us all again very soon. -
Episode 346 - London Series 2024 IT'S A WRAP!
Tom, John and Darius wrap up an epic London Series 2024 - the best one yet!
What a weekend, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Customer Reviews
British Revolution
Similarly to the English Revolution of 1688, this podcast offers great commentary, analysis, and humor that violently overthrows the stranglehold of American baseball podcasts on the airwaves. (No monarchs were harmed in the making of this podcast.)
A dream come true!
I've always wondered about baseball where it's a minority sport, and the game in Europe has always interested me. I'm so glad this podcast exists! It's a fun, witty look into a side of the sport that gets next to no coverage.
Great!
Great interviews with the GB baseball team and some excellent and reasoned analysis of all the goings on in baseball.
