  • Minor League Greatness
    May 6 2025
    Chrystal and Colleen bring you the story of the Kansas City Blues of the early 20th century American Association, who churned out Hall of Fame prospects for the Yankees until Major League Baseball’s westward push brought the A’s to Missouri, and sent them on to Denver, New Orleans, and eventually Wichita.

  • Salt Lake City Trappers
    Apr 22 2025
    Colleen and Chrystal bring you the story of a minor league team in Utah that played just eight seasons, but won four Pioneer League titles and set a professional baseball record that still stands -- 29 consecutive wins in 1987, on their way to a three-peat. Part-owned by Bill Murray, before the actor co-founded the St. Paul Saints, the Salt Lake City Trappers had one of the great lightning-in-a-bottle runs in baseball history, all without an affiliation to a major league team after having began their existence in Calgary, where they had been a farm team for the Cardinals and Expos before Alberta got Triple-A baseball (now just as gone as the Trappers, alas).
