About Baseball After Dark
From the publisher's feed
Baseball's strangest stories come out after dark.
This is where Baseball Nation Network explores the side of Major League Baseball that doesn't fit neatly into standings and box scores: murder mysteries, unexplained deaths, disappearances, scandals, curses, bizarre games, notorious characters, forgotten stars, clubhouse secrets, incredible coincidences, tragedies, controversies, and stories so strange they almost don't sound real.
Less a conventional sports podcast, more baseball plus true crime plus campfire storytelling. The mysterious death of Ed Delahanty. Ray Chapman and baseball's fatal pitch. Ten Cent Beer Night. Disco Demolition. Dock Ellis. The Black Sox. The Curse of the Billy Goat. The players who lived double lives.
Host Vin Marlowe tells one story a night — slowly, carefully, and without ever solving what history left unsolved. Everything you hear is documented, and where the record is disputed, the show says so out loud.
Vin Marlowe is a fictional broadcaster created, written, and voiced by Baseball Nation Network. He is not a real person and is never presented as such. The stories are real.
New stories every Thursday at 4 AM ET. The lights are off. The crowd has gone home.
