Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

Episode 252 - Bob Thurman, Negro League Star, Is In How Many Hall of Fames?

This week continue our irrelevant trip through the goofy history of major league baseball. Steve Stone's crystal ball from 1992 seems like it might be a little off regarding Sammy Sosa, we try to put together a GoFundMe for a new, err old, Babe Ruth jersey and find out who did we get on one of our Field of Dreams whiskey. Our main segment is all about a player from the Negro Leagues and eventually big leagues we had not heard about before, Bob Thurman. He played well, all over and with some huge names. Wax Pack Heroes comes down to stirrups. So needless to say, we were both very happy about that, one more than the other, but still happy none the less.

Episode 215 - MLB’s Latest Numbers Game

The Wicked Witch Is DEAD errr, RETIRED! This week we discuss the retirement of MLB umpires Angel Hernandez and Paul Emmel, a high schooler who enlisted one of the biggest MLB stars to help him ask a girl to prom, scouting umpires that tip pitches. They also dive into various baseball history topics, including debates about the best second baseman, stories of Mike Marshall, Todd Burns, and Deion Sanders' debuts, and the Griffey father-and-son shared date? The episode ends with a deep dive on newly integrated Negro League stats into MLB records and a spirited game of 'Wax Packs Heroes'. No AI was used in the making of this episode, but a lot of it was to write this summary. All hail our new robot overlords.

Episode 248 - The Animal, Brad Lesley

What a weird week it’s been in baseball. Bees, cats and sausages are only the tip of the iceberg. Beanballs in Philly before a game, the Rockies refuse to take the lead and blue collar baseball cards are now a thing. But this is a baseball history podcast, so let’s talk about Brad Lesley. The Animal played briefly in MLB, but he became a star both on the field and on the silver screen once he moved to Japan. A mixture of professional wrestler and fireball closer, Lesley was our kind of guy.Game two of Wax Pack Heroes is a great one if you’re a fan of manager cards. Somebody has to be a fan of manager cards, right?
