This week, Mark and Jeff find a new player who could be nicknamed “Scrabble”, another Seinfeld giveaway in the minors, does Babe Ruth deserve to have another homer to his name and Mickey Mantle hits a homer and gifts the bat to a young girl and she wasn’t even sick! There’s a Hall of Fame debut for a speedy first baseman (checks notes, yup, speedy first baseman) and a rookie car giveaway.
Author Tim Newby (The Original Louisville Slugger, The Life and Times of Forgotten Baseball Legend Pete Browning) joins the guys to talk about Pete Browning. We’ve talked about him before but Tim helps us understand why Ol’ Pete so unique, how Pete might have invented the Designated Hitter and is Pete Hall of Fame worthy?
Wax Pack Heroes returns with a couple of special packs from a listener with some new names we have defiantly not talked about before.
