Episode 144 - John Kruk, Baseball Player, Not Athlete
Monday Dec 06, 2021
Monday Dec 06, 2021
December 7th was an infamous day in history for both the USA and baseball. We remember both this week as well as take a moment to think about a trade for Bobby Bonilla, this year. In our main segment we remember the career of John Kruk as well as all the crazy late night talk show visits. Finally we rip a couple of packs of 1996 Donruss in Wax Pack Heroes.

Episode 143 - Bobby Valentine, Valentine’s Way
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
This week former player & manager Bobby Valentine joins us to talk about his career. We talk about his infamous disguise in the dugout (we also find out it was not the first time he had gone undercover), managing & playing with our all-time favorite players, how many times he deserved to be tossed and George Steinbrenner did WHAT to the visiting clubhouse at Shea Stadium during the 2000 World Series? Bobby was also nice enough to open a pack of 1990 Upper Deck cards with us and had some great stories about some of the players we pulled (it was the perfect time to pull a Geno Petralli!).

Episode 142 - Bunts & Hog Calls
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
This week we talk about the first player to win 2 World Series rings in 2 years AND have a string of pearls in the Hall of Fame, an MLB pitcher giving a clown what he deserves and Carlos Correa continues his heel act with a spicy (but true) take on a first ballot Hall of Famer. In the main segment of the show we ponder if Brett Butler is the best bunter in MLB history and learn about the art of hog calling while learning about pitcher Pea Ridge Day. In Wax Pack Heroes we rip a couple of 1991 Score packs and learn that whoever wrote Luis Soho’s Wikipedia page does not like him very much.

Episode 141 - Tales from the Dugout v21
Tuesday Nov 09, 2021
Tuesday Nov 09, 2021
This episode of Tales form the Dugout focuses on some of the strangest and weirdest first basemen. We discuss a stone-gloved slugger, a bat-hungry slugger and a stinky slugger. We always thought left handed relievers were supposed to be the weird ones. Plus we discuss the new Big Boss inn Japan, Buster Posey and the Hall and the World Series celebration in Atlanta. In this week’s Wax Pack Heroes we both open some 1990 Fleers to find some familiar names.

Tuesday Nov 02, 2021
Tuesday Nov 02, 2021
This weeks episode is brought to you by PETA. One tweet set the baseball social media world crazy, so we got in on it a well. Alot of pitcher talk, a former MLB closer skippered a NPB team to a pennant, pitcher’s with food names and the main attraction, the entire, complete history of the term “bullpen” as it relates to baseball. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of 1997 Donruss.

Episode 139 - Who Is the Real Dutch Leonard
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
Dutch Leonard is not a very common name, except for in Major League Baseball. There have been two of them, both pitchers and both with some crazy stories. One tended to trend toward the good, the other a bit more mischievous. Whether it was feuding with Ty Cobb, claiming Tris Speak was throwing games or just getting suspended, alot, the Dutch Leonard’s are fun to talk about. Plus, we discuss how Tony Suck really lived up to his name as well as the anniversary of several very noteworthy games. Wax Pack Heroes revisits some 1988 Score and Donruss.

Episode 138 - Glenn Hubbard, Snake Charmer
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Of all the crazy, weird and strange 80’s Wax Pack baseball cards, there are a handful that stand out. This week we tell the story of one of the oddest of the bunch. Glenn Hubbard loved snakes, so when he saw one on-field before a game in Philadelphia. Little did he know that picture would go from being a personal keep-sake to one of the most memorable Fleer cards ever. We also talk stolen base success rate or lack therefor of as well as baseball’s evangelical base stealer of the 1880’s. This week’s Wax Pack Heroes sees some 1992 Pinnacle cards where we learn of players who have gone on to NASCAR and the PBA.

Episode 137 - 1986 ALCS Game 5
Tuesday Oct 12, 2021
Tuesday Oct 12, 2021
With the risk of becoming a Red Sox history podcast, we revisit another crazy Boston playoff series/game. Timely home runs and clutch hitting helped take the Sox from the brink of elimination to baseball’s biggest stage for one of the most memorable World Series in history. Plus, we review some historic performances from this year’s playoffs so far, we ask an important question regarding a million dollar autograph and we consider the actual effects of a pitch clock. Finally, in this week’s Wax Pack Heroes, we open some 2008 Upper Deck and for the first time ever, get some guys who are still playing today!

Episode 136 - ALCS Game 5, The Forgotten Game
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Author John Vampatella joins us to talk about his new book, The Forgotten Game, which chronicles Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. Sandwiched between Big Papi’s 12th inning walk to keep the Red Sox in the Series and the infamous Bloody Sock Game, Game 5 was a marathon with two Hall of Fame pitchers on the mound (Mussina v Martinez). John was a blast to talk to about 80’s, 90’s & 2000’s MLB. Ofcourse there’s a Lars Nootbaar update, golf & baseball & which team has suffered the most ruptured um, man nether-regions? And why is anybody keeping track? Plus John sticks around for a round of Wax Pack Heroes.
