What do Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, Mo’ne Davis, and Kwanza Jones have in common? They’re Black women who have challenged expectations, broken barriers, and helped change the game of baseball—on and off the field! On Episode 18 of Stolen Bases, we’re celebrating the women whose stories deserve a bigger place in baseball history. From Mamie Johnson, the legendary Negro Leagues pitcher who proved she could compete with anybody, to Mo’ne Davis making Little League World Series history, to Kwanza Jones helping usher in a new chapter of Black ownership in Major League Baseball, we’re talking about talent, opportunity, representation, and who gets a seat at baseball’s table. But that’s not all! We’re also talking MLB postseason baseball, answering Squad Mail, and getting into a heated conversation about what happens when passionate fandom crosses the line. After a Georgia Bulldogs victory over Alabama, an Alabama fan confronted Georgia linebacker Raylen Wilson and made physical contact with his helmet. We’re discussing athlete safety, fan accountability, and why loving your team should never mean losing your common sense. As always, expect real conversation, baseball history, a little barbershop debate, some laughs, and a few questions that might have you talking back to your speakers. ⚾ In this episode: Squad Mail: The wildest things fans and parents do at sporting events.MLB Postseason: The latest playoff action and October baseball talk.Fans or Fools?
