My guests this week will explain all of it as they have taken a local term and transformed it into what could be one of the more exciting promotions at a ballpark this summer at The Shore. Jersey Shore BlueClaws VP of Communications Greg Giombarrese and Gianna Fiocco, Director of Promotions & Entertainment, sit down to tell me what it is all about.

Matt Bomberg is my guest today and he talks about the brand new club coming to Richmond, Indiana, in 2026. The expansion franchise will play out of McBride Stadium and be a whole new era of baseball at the historic WPA venue. We discuss what will be done and who will be involved with the day-to-day operations in Richmond.

I am solo this week as I talk a little baseball on my recent trip to Kansas City and Lawrence, Kansas. Do you enjoy baseball trips in early April in the Midwest or do you wait until the weather is warmer? Let me know!

Matt Hiscox is my guest and he is the media relations director and photographer for the London Majors of the Intercounty Baseball League. The team pulled off an April Fools prank that went viral when it announced they would be called the Forest City Cobra Chickens. Due to high demand, the team will rebrand for one night as the Cobra Chicken sometime this summer.

My guest this week is Mike Sellers, the host of the Up to Chat podcast. This is the second part of our conversation. We get into a lively banter on baseball, logo rebranding, and everything else.

My guest this week is the owner of the Eau Claire Express Craig Toycen. He shares his thoughts and plans for the Express in 2025, along with his past experiences in baseball.

My guest this week is Mike Sellers, the host of the Up to Chat podcast. We get into a lively banter on baseball, logo rebranding, and everything else. The conversation is so good that we had to break it up into two parts.

The head coach of the Newark Pilots Chris Ferara is my guest this week. He talks about his first year as the skipper of the team and ideas he has to raise the awareness of the club in the area.

Mal Romanin is my guest, the co-owner and Director of Operations for the new baseball club in St. Catharines, Ontario, begining this summer in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. Romanin is a 12-year vet in the Toronto Blue Jays communication department, and he gives us a glimpse of what to expect from his new club set to play this summer.

Tonight's conversation is about relocating the Athletics back to Philadelphia. Does that sound crazy? Is it crazier than playing in Sacramento for three years and hoping that a ballpark in Las Vegas gets built? The A's playing in the Philadelphia market might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, and my guest, pushing for a movement with his petition, gives us more details on what the city could look like as a two-team baseball town.
