They say all good things must come to an end... what they don't know is that all mediocre things must come to an end too. This is the last episode in our Absolute Beginners series: The Absolute Bunts Guide to Baseball.

On June 29-30th, MLB is coming to Europe for the first time in its history. To celebrate this fact, Jon and Henry are running a mini-series that covers the absolute basics of the game. 

By the time you finish listening to these three (or four) episodes, we promise you, you will know enough about the sport to be able to enjoy both games of the London Series.

Through the course of the series, we will walk you through twenty absolute fundamentals that you need to know to understand the game. These are broken into three main areas:

THE GAME

THE LEAGUE

THE KNOWLEDGE

In Part III, we cover the absolute basics which come within THE KNOWLEDGE section:

17 The game invites a lot of statistics

18 There are some fundamental batting stats to know

19 There are some fundamental pitching stats to know

20 If this sounds interesting, here’s what you should do

Enjoy!

This is it - the moment you've all been waiting for...

**Hello and welcome to Absolute Bunts, the podcast in which two men who know nothing about baseball talk about baseball.**

They say buses are like buses… you wait for a long time and then two come along at once and then you get on one, realise you're heading in the wrong direction and before you know it you're in Croydon.

Anyway, Absolute Bunts is not like buses… you wait for a long time and then nothing shows up and then when it does it's just Jon and Henry talking total bollocks most of which isn't anything to do with baseball.

We talked about a lot today though:

* Henry's summer school trip

* Henry's temporal super powers

* Henry's dog

* Merkle's Boner

* Henry

* Bob Gibson

* Other things

* All of the above

* Any other business

We hope you find something in the shit to make it all worth your while. Enjoy… peeps…
