    Busch Stadium

    Head for the mountains... of St. Louis? Chrystal and Colleen bring you the story of Busch Stadium, and why it's been named that since long before corporate naming rights at stadiums were commonplace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Pine Tar Incident

    Colleen and Chrystal bring you the tale of the Pine Tar Incident, which began in July of 1983 with Brett's ejection from a game after hitting what appeared to be a go-ahead home run at Yankee Stadium and didn't turn out to be one until much later, and with much scandal. And we got a classic bobblehead out of it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Take Me Out To The 7th Inning Stretch

    Colleen and Chrystal are baseball mad, have the fever and have it bad... wait, that's not the line, it's Katie Casey who was baseball mad, had the fever and had it bad. If you don't know what song Katie Casey is from, well, yes you do. It's seventh inning stretch time for Dugout of History! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    A Not-So-Brief History of the New York Mets

    Colleen and Chrystal bring you the story of New York's National League baseball team, from the Mets' founding in the wake of the Dodgers and Giants leaving the Big Apple for California, through the 1969 and 1986 world championships, to today's contenders with Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Dock Ellis

    If you already know the story, you know that you're in for a good one with Chrystal and Colleen back to talk about Dock Ellis, a 12-year major league veteran, 1971 All-Star and world champion, and author of one of the unlikeliest no-hitters in major league history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Banned List

    Colleen and Chrystal bring you the silver lining of Pete Rose's posthumous and political reinstatement to baseball eligibility: Shoeless Joe Jackson, more than a century after the Black Sox scandal, also got unbanned in Rob Manfred's purge of the Permanently Ineligible list. The subject of plenty of artistic pieces and movies over the years, Jackson's true history is one of the most interesting stories the game has to tell. Hosted on Acast.

    Minor League Greatness

    Chrystal and Colleen bring you the story of the Kansas City Blues of the early 20th century American Association, who churned out Hall of Fame prospects for the Yankees until Major League Baseball’s westward push brought the A’s to Missouri, and sent them on to Denver, New Orleans, and eventually Wichita.  Hosted on Acast.

    Salt Lake City Trappers

    Colleen and Chrystal bring you the story of a minor league team in Utah that played just eight seasons, but won four Pioneer League titles and set a professional baseball record that still stands -- 29 consecutive wins in 1987, on their way to a three-peat. Part-owned by Bill Murray, before the actor co-founded the St. Paul Saints, the Salt Lake City Trappers had one of the great lightning-in-a-bottle runs in baseball history, all without an affiliation to a major league team after having began their existence in Calgary, where they had been a farm team for the Cardinals and Expos before Alberta got Triple-A baseball (now just as gone as the Trappers, alas).
