Wonderful Podcast of All Things Baseball

If you are seeking a podcast that is all things baseball then this is the podcast for you. Rob Neyer does a fantastic job interviewing the wide variety of guests the show has on. I’ve learned a great deal from Rob and his guests who have all contributed substantially in various different ways to the game of baseball. I’ve never given a review to a podcast but Rob and his team certainly deserve a round of applause for the content they provide.

Flaming liberal

This guy should stick to baseball and stop insulting “red states”. I’m deleting this pod after this review and won’t renew my SABR subscription. There are plenty of other options for baseball podcasts
