This excellent mini series continues, covering two more pitchers who struck out 19 or more players in a single major league game, Tom Cheney and Luis Tiant, but there also sidetracks as usual. In fact, there are more sidetracks than ever! Indy and Berns veer off into Fidel Castro and Cuban amateur baseball, the history of Indy's last name, the career of the elder Luis Tiant... and plenty more.

(...AND AS A BONUS, you even get a bumping sound off and on during the whole episode, since it turns out Indy's mike stand kept banging the table edge whenever anyone would move)

The second in the mini series covering those players in MLB History who have struck out 19 or more batters in one game. Today we start off still in 1884 with Charlie Sweeney, but we have the usual sidetracks into things like Sloppy Thurston, Old Hoss Radbourn, and winning games out of spite.

Because of illness and daily life just getting a little overwhelming, we unfortunately can't release an episode today, but we'll be back next Sunday, and then continue all summer long every other week like always.

The first episode in a mini series on those pitchers who've struck out 19 or more batters in a major league game, but it also has several cool sidetracks into other things- like Prince Hal Newhouser and his grand nephew's kindness, the Independent 1880 New York Mets, and pitchers who won 180+ games before they turned 30. Another instant classic!

Another installment of the 1970s Sluggers mini series for you, kicking off with a long look at Jeff Burroughs, but also featuring loads of sidetracks into things like how to steal home according to Billy Martin, the etymology of Vic Power's name, Cleveland's 10c beer night- and also Cleveland's 5c beer night (which often gets overlooked), a surprising Joe DiMaggio stat, and more!

After sidetracking on everything under the sun the past two episodes, Indy finally tells us the incredible thing Rogers Hornsby did NOT do, but someone else did. Not to worry, though, there are still plenty of sidetracks into Harry Heilmann, interesting facts about Wahoo, Nebraska, the 1925 American League batting race, and more.

There's something that Rogers Hornsby did NOT do that Indy was supposed to talk about in the first episode of season two. That's on the agenda today, but there are the usual sidetracks- this time about the 1926 World Series, Bubbles Hargrave, the McDLT, and a bit of an homage to Grover Cleveland Alexander.

Indy and Berns kick off Season 2 of this weirdness in top Time Machine form: Indy sets the scene for what the episode is about, and then spends the rest of the entire episode side tracking about... well, loads of things... let's see... the most important game ever played, Chicago single season batting average leaders, Guy Hecker, leaving the game for love, rule changes in 1876- Lord, where do these idiots not side track to?

A new season but the same old great stuff (and yes, we are aware of the mild buzzing noise, but this was recorded on Good Friday so you get what you get).
