Baseball is full of traditions, good or bad, that as a fan, you’ve got to take in stride if you go to a ballgame. There’s singing (the anthem, Take Me Out to the Ballgame), there’s strange people in costumes (the Chicken, the Phanatic), there is trickery (keep a decoy ball to throw back if you catch an opponent’s HR), and there’s more singing if you’re team wins. Why do we do these crazy things during a game? Plus, Lars Nootbaar, the Bob Brenley Game (?) and a 1990 Fleer edition of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we get started with some of the crazy baseball history that was made in the past week, we rank players who have been nicknamed Bull, we remember a wild game at Wrigley from 2001 in which the 7th inning stretch singer got tossed form the game (by Angel Hernandez surprise, surprise) but that wasn’t even the weirdest thing to happen in that game and ofcourse we review the week in Lars Nootbaar news. Our main story is a statistical review of Red Sox shortstop Johnny Pesky. He spent over 60 years in baseball & was involved in some memorable plays including a legend of the Pesky Pole in Fenway. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of 1993 Donruss.

Part two of our outstanding interview with former Padres & Giants pitcher, Dave Dravecky. He tells some crazy stories about the always off the wall Gaylord Perry, his most memorable mound visit and pitching at the icebox that was Candlestick Park. Dave was nice enough to stick around and play a round of Wax Pack Heroes with us as well, opening some 1986 Topps and telling some great stories about some of the players we pulled. Plus, as usual, the latest on Lars Nootbaar and some 1990’s sitcoms with the Blue Jays and the Griffey’s.

Episode 131 - Padres & Giants Pitcher Dave DraveckySome players have stories that are so compelling & great you remember them off the field more than on. Dave Dravecky had a great career on the mound, but what happened to him after a cancer diagnosis and gruesome injury during his comeback are even a better story. In part one of our time with Dave, we talk about playing baseball in Hawaii, his lone career home run, the guys who hit him well, being an All-Star and alot more. Plus, Lars Nootbaar is heating it up in St. Louis, we remember Kent Hrbek’s major league debut and THAT play at first with Ron Gant and finally, another round of Wax Pack Heroes with some custom packs sent in by a listener.

Back in the studio after two weeks & we catch up on some of the crazy records that have been broken since we last recorded. No hitters, strike outs, blown saves and some really big Lars Nootbaar news! Our main story this week focuses on a relief pitcher with some of the best hair, best fashion sense and the best sense of humor. Don Stanhouse was known to lull batters to sleep while on the mound, but off the field he was he was known as Stan the Man Unusual. Our kind of guy. Wax Pack Heroes goes big, 1989 Topps Big. Will they be a big success or a big bust?

Lots of talk about stolen bases, team names and a really big debut anniversary. We do a deeper dive on Joey Votto and his recent HR streak and find one of the names he was chasing already had a special place in our show. We also relive a crazy game with a Hall of Fame umpire, a Hall of Fame shortstop and a pitcher named Togie. Plus some 1986 Fleer packs keep us occupied in another edition of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we review the worst trades ever made in baseball history. Some of the biggest names in MLB history were the result of really bad trades, atleast for one team. Babe Ruth, Pee Wee Reese, Lou Brock and David Ortiz (or Arias as it was) were acquired for next to nothing and went on to have Hall of Fame careers. We try to figure out who has made the most one-sided trades, the Red Sox or the Mariners. We also cover Olympic bullpen carts (which are awesome), a historic game between the Twins and Tigers and we lament Lars Nootbaar just sitting on the Cardinals bench. Plus round 2 of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we talk about how Joe DiMaggio dominated the PCL before donning the pinstripes. He suited up for his hometown San Francisco Seals for an odd reason and soon caught the eye of MLB teams back east with his bat. Plus we talk Guardians baseball, the rangers futility, Lars Nootbaar (ofcourse), partake in some listener trivia and remember Charlie Kerfeld’s outstanding pranks in our debuts segment. Finally, we start off a new season of Wax Pack Heroes with a specially curated pair of packs provided by a listener. Who will start this year off on top?

This week we find out some minor league teams just never learn when it comes to beer promotions, we look back at a truly historical Padres-Nats game and ofcourse Lars Nootbaar. Our main story this week is the larger than life former MLB umpire (not Eric Gregg) Ron Luciano. From shooting out players on the bases to chatting them up at homeplate, Luciano probably had more fun than anybody else on the field. We recount many of his stories. Plus Wax Pack Heroes playing it loose with some loose singles that were sent to us. We definitely pulled some names that we haven’t discussed before.
