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.

Chickens in the outfield, bags of flour dropping on the infield from above and fewer pictures of all of this than of Bigfoot. We’ll get to the bottom of this Dodger Field mystery. Plus chicks dig the long ball. If that’s true, Joe Bauman must have been very popular in the Longhorn League. Joe put together what might be the best season in the history of baseball in 1954. Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, even Mark McGwire could not equal the 138 game totals Joe put up for the Roswell Rockets. We’ll share all the gaudy numbers. Finally, 6-year MLB veteran Wes Chamberlain (Phillies & Red Sox) joins us for a round of Wax Pack Heroes. Where will he land on our leader board and just how many Hall of Famers can one pack contain?

This week we talk about Wade Boggs losing the International League batting title on the last game of the season because of some very questionable tactics by the other team, who just happened to have the guy who was in second place. Also, more stories involving baseball and lightning (it’s a thing apparently for us lately), the history of the Athletics elephant mascot and how many different names does the eeuphus pitch have? Finally, in Wax Pack Heroes we take on a couple of packs of 1987 Topps and learn about alot of second careers some players had in the off season.

This week we reveal our baseball pet peeves, Shoeless Joe & pitchers winning batting titles? We go in depth on the very brief existence of the West Coast Negro Baseball Association, a league with the best intentions & backing that never really found a foothold. Plus, a mediocre Cleveland baseball team, tempers flaring between teams, drinking age of 18 & .10 cent beers. What could possibly go wrong? Also, a new season of Wax Pack Heroes starts after Mark is presented with his ornate championship crown.

This week we talk about fishy HR’s, players born at sea and Oyster Burns. Definitely a bit of a nautical theme. Plus, Bob Aspromonte, a light hitting member of the Colt .45’s who is befriended by a young boy in the hospital. In a baseball tale as old as time, a bed ridden fan asks their favorite player to hit them a home run. What happened after that was beyond anything Babe Ruth or Paul O’Neill could fathom. Finally, Mark is one win away from clinching the first season championship in Wax Pack Heroes. Will he get to pop the cork of the champagne of beers or will he have to wait another week?

We’re a baseball history podcast so this week we’re talking about Manny Ramirez, Terry Shumpert, Babe Ruth and Troy Neel? Troy Neel? Plus we continue our conversation with former super utility player Vance Law. We get to hear about his time in Japan, an incredible signed baseball and a great story about how Vance’s father, former Cy Young winner Vern Law, was wooed by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lance was also nice enough to play Wax Pack Heroes with use with a pack of 1991 Score.

We’re a day late with this episode but the wait will definitely be worth it. This week part one of our conversation with former big leaguer Vance Law. Vance has some great stories about his first game playing in the same city his father played in, his first home run off a future Hall of Famer and playing in 25 inning game! Plus, a bonus story about Vance striking out one of the greatest hitters in MLB history! Debuts, birthdays and of course Wax Pack Heroes with 2 packs of 1988 Score.

John Updike? On a baseball history podcast? Updike was a huge baseball fan and though he didn’t get to write alot about his favorite sport, what little he did is incredible. On a completely separate vain, we talk about the Curse of the Billy Goat. How expelling a barnyard animal from Wrigley Field in 1945 cursed the Cubs all the way up to 2016. We talk about the odd events attributed to the curse and the odd attempts at exercising it. Wax Pack Heroes this week is a couple of 1989 Topps packs. Can we top last weeks goldmine?

Tales form the dugout returns! In this version we talk about the oddest team names through the history of the game, we remember Luis Castillo which ofcourse leads to a Rickey Henderson story (strange, we know!), outfielders sharing gloves, debuts, trivia and ofcourse, Wax Pack Heroes. This week it’s 1990 Score.

We continue our conversation with former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Don August. Don has had some crazy adventures playing baseball all over the world. This week we cover life outside Major League Baseball including his time playing ball in Mexico and Taiwan. From bandits, to tailgating to singing karaoke with gangsters, Don has literally done it all. Now he can add playing Wax Pack Heroes to that list as well. See what Don pulls from a 1992 Score pack and where he lands on our leaderboard.
