Episode 232 - Tales From the Dugout v36

This week we have a bunch of baseball stories the rest of big baseball won’t tell you about. Jimmy Hoffa, Mike Gallego, Ichiro, Charlie Finley, hot pants, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, lifetime bands and fish landing in the outfield during a NPB game. We could lose our podcasting license for telling their stories but we’ll risk it for our listeners. Wax Pack Heroes sees some AA cards from 1992 could best be described as a pitcher duel but still fun none the less.Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

Episode 231 - Was Roberto Clemente Taken?

The baseball season is winding down but we’re just getting started. Jeff made a trip to Forbes Field, or what is left of it and visited the site of a former guests historic pitch, the new Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Hall of Fames names dropped, we pick them up, there’s a new baseball league for old names, Stew being Stew and we remember Frank Howard who recently passed away. Our main story this week is about the indelible Roberto Clemente and one neither of us had heard before. We open an investigation into whether or not Clemente was actually kidnapped at gun point in San Diego. While doing so we might have also found something incredible in regards to the actual origin of the San Diego Chicken. Wax Pack Heroes focuses on 1991as our season hits the stretch run.Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

Episode 230 - Did Ty Cobb Really Kill A Man

So many fun baseball things to talk about this week. We found an article that seems to think we’re obsessed with baseball, they are probably right. Was Honus Wagner the original baseball Boomer? Trevor May retires and tells John Fisher he sucks (give this man a statue!), Steve Garvey hopes all his kids will vote for him, Derek Jeter really makes us feel sorry for him and his tough life and the new Rolling Stones album has some baseball ties. Our main story this week is more Ty Cobb! Actually, it’s more BS that Al Stump wrote just to make money, pretty much none of which is true. But we wanted to get to the bottom of the story that Ty Cobb killed a man who jumped him. Did it happen? Did he kill anybody? Listen and we’ll unequivocally tell you what Al Stump wouldn’t dare!Wax Pack Heroes is back and better than ever, well, ok, the same as ever, but that’s a good thing, right?Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

This week, we talk baseball! The Barbie movie has seeped into historic Fenway Park, the A’s ownership continues to just suck, Rowdy Tellez makes a late push for the Cy Young, and a random Bob Gibson sighting. Our main story this week centers on the captains of the New York Yankees. There haven’t been many in the storied franchises history, but some of them have some great stories.
