Things that aren’t supposed to happen in a domed baseball stadium:-A rain out-A luxury apartment complete with a bowling alley and a gun range-A radio announced calling a game from a box suspended above second baseAll of these things, as odd as they sound, took place in the Houston Astrodome. This week we look at the history and the oddities of baseball’s first domed stadium. Plus, players who die at sea, Jay Bruce equals Cecil & Prince Fielder before retiring & Mel Ott facts. And as always, we do some junk wax era combat in Wax Pack Heroes with a couple of packs of 1988 Topps.

Do you remember players wearing shiny jackets in the dugout? How about special shoes just for Astroturf? How about umpires holding a balloon protector infront of them behind homeplate. They say Pepperidge Farm remembers, well so do Jeff and Mark. This week we remember some things from when we started out as fans of the game that are no longer around. We also relive the best use of a slice of pizza as revenge during a MLB game and rip some 1991 Fleer packs for Wax Pack Heroes.

It’s so great to have baseball back! Leading off this week no-hit catchers, Tim Lacastro update, baseball TikTok and some Hall of Fame debuts. In our main segment we learn about Harvey Haddix, who threw the greatest perfect game inn MLB history only to not only not get credit for a perfect game but also took the loss! Wax Pack Heroes is a nail bitter with some Stadium Club & Fleer providing ammo.

There's so much to talk about from Opening Week. Several starts for players that people will be talking about years from now as well as some odd moves, missing fans, player contact tracking, debuts and the answer to one of our hardest trivia questions yet. Our main segments highlights some of the oddest promotions and giveaways from the recent past in both the major and minor leagues. From toilet seats to gall bladders, they’ve all been given away to attract fans. Finally, Wax Pack Heroes takes on some odd packs of 1991 Fleer.

Opening week is here and we celebrate by talking about Joey Gallo’s prom date, Charlie Brown’s lone career home run, Johnny Vander Meer’s forgotten no hitter, pitcher’s using pickle juice and nail salons and Minor League baseball’s attempt to curb domestic violence (hint: it did not go well). Plus a couple of 1989 Topps packs for another version of Wax Pack Heroes.

We don’t ever want to hear people complain about baseball games taking too long. In 1981 the Rochester Red Wings and Pawtucket Paw Sox decided that 9 innings was not enough for them. It took 33 innings (and a couple of months) for a winner to be declared. Future Hall of Famers Cal Ripken Jr. and Wade Boggs were amongst the players who played the equivalent of 3+ games without a break! We break down the game, the numbers and the stories from professional baseball’s longest game ever. Plus, Twins fighting, a Cub becomes a mule and ofcourse Wax Pack Heroes.

Long at bats, famous first last names, barber shop quartets, strange Topps products, Cheese steak champions and secretly living in a baseball stadium. What if we told you that isn’t even everything we talk about in this week’s show? Plus, this week’s Wax Pack Heroes takes a rather dark turn quickly when we open one of what might be the most delinquent packs of Donruss ever.

Before Jim Abbott, there was Hugh Daily. He was a fiery, one handed, Irishman who was one of the first pitchers to throw over hand. The biggest problem with having Hugh on your team though was, nobody liked him. His penchant for causing a train wreck mixed with striking out batters made him popular with fans, but much less so with his teammates. Plus we cover more Adam Ottovino fan-fiction written by Adam himself regarding his new team, we find out why Jim Kaat was such a great fielding pitcher and we take on some of the blandest Donruss cards ever in Wax Pack Heroes but make them as exciting as a no hitter in the ninth.

Horace Fogel was a failed politician, failed manager & failed owner. How bad was he? He tried to convert a young Christy Mathewson into a first baseman. Despite all of his misfires he continued to be involved in baseball until he pushed too far, dealing in late 1800’s Qanon-like baseball conspiracy theories. Bad enough were these falsehoods that they landed him in very rare company, banned from baseball for life. Plus Seinfeld-baseball trivia & Jeff finds his people, The Society for the Preservation of Barbershop Quartet Singing who coincidentally came up with some great names for the then Houston expansion team. Finally, Wax Pack Heroes takes on some very mediocre 1989 Scores packs.

The 1981 MLB season was known for two things, a strike and Fernando-mania. Dodger fans went crazy for a 20 year old, left-handed screwballer who captured the interest of the Latin fan base of LA as well as the Rookie of the Year & the Cy Young! There were songs written about him, cereal boxes with his face on them & strikeouts. Lots of them. We talk everything El Toro. Plus, we remember the anniversary of Homer at the Bat & find out some players who turned down a chance to be drawn onto Mr. Burns team of ringers. Finally, Wax Pack Heroes as we rip some 1991 & 92 Topps packs.
