Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast
We talk to you about baseball history & have been described as specializing in Boston Red Sox history. Only one of those are true. It’s isn’t the latter.

Another award winning version of our Tales from the Dugout feature. This time we talk more about left handed hitting catchers and why you don’t see them anymore, walkoff triples, a Soft Bank Hawks fan that might have trolled the Yomiuri Giants a little too much for the local authorities liking. Plus the usual debuts, trivia and we visit the year of 1997 for this version of Wax pack Heroes.

There is alot to digest when talking about some of the weirdest trades in baseball history, literally. Teams apparently have no problem trading a player for some donuts, catfish, turkeys or barrels of oysters? Other weird asks when trying to make a trade: a new outfield fence, rent, a new suit and ofcourse the old standby, a bag of balls and some bats. Wax Pack Heroes rips some 2007 Upper Deck.

In a Two Strike Noise first, we revisit last week’s topic to further explore pitchers cheating with some new info on Whitey Ford, Nolan Ryan, Rick Honeycutt and Gaylord Perry. Plus, we look at something that blew Jeff’s mind regarding Vinny Castilla as well as Canadian baseball award winners. Finally, another new set of cards for Wax Pack Heroes, this week it’s 1997 Donruss.

If we’ve learned anything from Trevor Bauer in the past year, it’s that apparently every pitcher cheats. Whether you believe it or not, this week we pontificate on some ways in which pitchers might cheat if they were so inclined. Plus, we found out some new info on Howard Johnson’s rib eating championship that involves none other than Rusty Staub, we go over listeners name submissions from last week’s show and we celebrate Star Wars Day with some baseball names worthy of being granted the title of Jedi Master. Finally, we open our first ever packs of cards in Wax Pack Heroes that were produced in this century and scored a relic!

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.
