Great baseball podcast
Tom is the king
Best baseball history podcast
It’s not competitive. Tom Hannah has the greatest knowledge of baseball history, the best combination of complete games and little anecdotes on his show, and he never repeats an episode. Best baseball history podcast I’ve ever seen.
