    Baseball People with Baseball Becks

    Joining the show is Becks (@baseballbecks), a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan and author whose new book, Baseball People, just dropped this month. Because we recorded this one early in the day, we had a classic battle of the beverages. Becks held it down on the West Coast with some green tea, while I officially kicked off the unofficial start of summer with a cold Breeze Summer Lager from Wander Back Beerworks (NJ). We were joined by a special guest star, her son who was sipping on some wa-wa. Becks shares how she fell in love with baseball and what sparked her passion for the game. We dive into how baseball is evolving to connect with the younger generation, specifically the massive impact of young women in the modern fan base. Becks runs through her favorite Giants players from the past and present, gives us her honest take on this year's squad, and reveals the best spots to take in a game at Oracle Park. Inside Baseball People: We get the full background on her new book—the inspiration, the creative process behind the artwork, and what might be next. We wrap up discussing the videos she produces, what drives her creative vision, and what she hopes fans take away from her page.

    Crafting a Big League Career

    In this episode of No Bad Hops, Anthony sits down with 11-year MLB veteran Dominic Leone. Over a couple of brews, they dive deep into what it truly takes to survive and thrive in the Big Leagues for over a decade. Dominic offers an insider’s perspective on the "journeyman" life, pulling back the curtain on the emotional whiplash of playing for nine different organizations. They discuss the polar extremes of the game—from the magic of the San Francisco Giants’ historic 107-win season to the mental grind of a historically challenging year with the Chicago White Sox. Dominic opens up about the evolution of analytics and how it has changed the game, the impact of mid-season trades on life, and the moment he knew it was time to hang up the cleats and begin the next chapter of life. Be sure to follow Dominic Leone @dleone26 on Instagram to follow his journey from the field to the reel.

Meanwhile, Anthony pays homage to baseball royalty with a West Coast staple: AleSmith Brewing Company’s .394 Pale Ale, famously brewed as a tribute to the legendary Tony Gwynn.
