#29. Royals: From the worst-team in baseball, to consecutive World Series appearances, and back again!

Chad Morrissey has experienced it all as a Royals fan! From being a kid as his parents went out to watch the Royals in the World Series, to being a long-suffering fan in one of the one of the longest postseason droughts during baseball's current wild-card era, Chad has seen it all! Hear him describe his joy as that play-off drought finally ended in the hot-streak of 2014, to his jubilation at being crowned World Champions the following year - and how he is still having plenty of fun taking his kids now and his enthusiasm and optimisim for the current team. https://twitter.com/stuart_levy https://twitter.com/SwollenJawPod

#28. Cubs: How an interest in the sport since childhood has led to a career path - and how YOU can help John with his thesis!

John has had an interest in baseball through his dad since before he could walk - in his first baseball game, he fell asleep in his puschair at an Angels game! Eventually, through playing games and fortunate business trips, the Cubs became his team, and he has experienced the very highs and the very lows of the sport! His love of baseball led him into a great career in sport, and his curiosity into why that might be - and if others have the same thought - has inspired his masters dissertation idea. If you also watch baseball at least once per week, on either side of the Atlantic, give him an email! j.a.dickinson@northumbria.ac.uk https://twitter.com/stuart_levy https://twitter.com/SwollenJawPod
