Two hundred shows in and we’ve still got alot to talk about. We consider re-branding the pod due to some of the new baseball rules for this season, we catch up with Joe West in retirement and see he’s found the internet, we listen to Steve Cohen’s plans for Bobby Bonilla Day and lament the projected stole base totals for next year. In the main story we take a look at the number 200 and compare so season and career numbers for some memorable players, plus, listener voice mail! Some get it and some are from Milwaukee. Plus a special Second Best and Wax Pack Heroes. Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

Alot to cover this week. The Mariners commit the unforgivable sin, batting lineups or lack of, Yogi Berra and TBS tangle and our listeners help us out with some more stolen baseball election news. Our main topic was the one nobody asked for but you’re going to get it anyways. Hit By Pitch, some guys are just pitch magnets so we want to give them their due. We explore the HBP rule as well as some famous HBP in games and the players hand them out and those who take them. Plus we open some AAA cards in this week's Wax Pack Heroes. Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

We’re back and we’ve got baseball to talk about. We tackle election fraud trying to figure out what baseball players claimed nicknames proclaiming themselves rulers of some sort. Plus we watch a classic Tommy Lasorda cameo on Police Squad, talk about some fan favorites, pick up some baseball and life tips from some 1980’s 1-900 phone numbers, hear about Pud and Pretzels and remember a hazing ritual that save a man’s life, or atleast his calf. Plus, Wax Pack Heroes. Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

This week, which states are looking up long dead and gone “Sluggers”? WBC rosters are filling out including a show favorite suiting up, the Butterworths from Mobile were at a Giants game in 1995 and we talk NBA (only for a second and how it relates to a baseball topic, it will never happen again). Then we do some early spring cleaning/mop up duty with some stories even too quick for a Tales segment. Plus, now you can call us! Leave us a message at 607-216-8811. Add us to your top 5, add us to your family plan, give us the number one saved number spot on your Sports Illustrated football phone! Also, does anybody actually read these notes? It takes Jeff another 15 minutes while the pod is being exported to put together these things. Is ti worth while?

We pulled a couple of strong packs for our final Wax Pack Heroes of the year. Who will claim the final victory of 2022? Plus, now you can call us! Leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

This week we go hard, for the off-season. Which Tom Emanski hat does Fred McGriff choose? We check the short list of MLB players from New Hampshire (it’s quick) and look at numbers if everybody played at Coors field throughout baseball history. In our main segment we chronicle the man who is thought to be the grand father of the knuckleball, Toad Ramsey. His story was made for Two Strike Noise, childhood injury, drinks alot, played while is disguise after being kicked out of a game…only two of those things are true but they could all happen to him. Wax Pack Heroes takes on some 1990 cards where one of us pulls our favorite and least favorite player of all time.

Alot to unpack this week! It is the quintessential off-season show. Word games, baseball and wrestling cross overs, big guys stealing bags, disasters at large hotels and of course the obligatory Rickey Henderson factoid. In out main segment, we relive the first month of the Baltimore Orioles 1988 season. It was over before it started really. The O’s found new and inventive ways to lose 21 straight games to start the season. We’ll remember them all as well as some of the ways players and fans tried to break the streak. We have a couple of curated packs this week for Wax Pack Heroes as we open some cards from the 1981 season, definitely haven’t pulled some of these guys before!

We may be in the off-season but we found a way you can still listen to a game while drifting off to sleep, baseball ASMR. Plus we check in with the Fighters new stadium where they apparently forgot to measure, remember a great Rick Sutcliffe story and talk some Saved By the Bell Fantasy Camp. Our main story is about a big guy who hit some monster home runs but did not like being a baseball player it seems, Dave Kingman. We hear about some of his biggest and longest dingers as well as his ice cream parlor? Then we rip some 2000 Topps in Wax Pack Heroes.

We’re back at it this week where we discuss a former show favorite who was cast in the original movie production of Grease but turned down the role. Who was it? Then we dive into the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee’s final ballot and go through all of the numbers as well as some other equally important things about each player like quality of nicknames, controversies and ofcourse pop culture relevance. Taking all of that into account, we have two new Hall of Fame members that will no doubt open the flood gates for some other players that have been left out for one specific reason. Don’t blame us! We’re just adding the number up! Finally, a quick version of Wax Pack Heroes with some 1990 Donruss.
