Baseball Rabbithole episodes
- Game 2 Ninth Inning: This American Mascot
In this inning of the Baseball Rabbithole, you get to hear what I sounded like when I had COVID and you get to learn about mascots.
50 min - Game 2 Eighth Inning: Balls
I wanted to know more about how baseballs were made and fell down a rabbithole about the manufacturing of baseballs that includes plenty of corruption and conspiracies.
36 min - Game 2 Seventh Inning: Where's the Balls?
In a Rabbithole off of a Rabbithole, I go looking for balls.
24 min - Game 2-Sixth Inning: You Can't Handle the Ruth
Who held the single season home run record before Babe Ruth? It's over a century of controversy.
27 min - Game 2 Fifth Inning: Getting Veecked
I delve into the history of the Wrigley Field Bleachers and it takes me on a looooong journey to the South Side and Comiskey Park. It's a Red Line El episode, sort of, so check it out.
Also, check out http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/WrigleyField.html . This website has awesome schematics of baseball fields and how they've changed over the years.
50 min - Game 2, Fourth Inning: Age of the All Stars
In this inning, I look at the oldest and youngest All Star players in the history of MLB and along the way, the rabbitholes take me to baseball stadium names, the DH, and an extraordinarily long career.
26 min - 4 min
- Game 2: Bottom of the Third: AL names
Ugh. What I thought would be a quick podcast about team names turned into way longer than I ever wanted to do and took way more work. This is not perfect, but it is done. I hope you learn some stuff and enjoy this really long episode. I think you can start to feel my aggravation about how long it is taking during the show itself. Sorry about that.
On the plus side, this is the first episode with the brand new Rabbithole theme song by Danny Rockett. If you don't like the episode, at least you will like the song.
1 hr 5 min - Game 2: Top of the 3rd Inning-N.L. Team Names
Over the winter of 2021-22, the team in Cleveland changed their name to the Guardians. This led me to wonder "How many names have all the MLB teams had in their history?" This led me on a superficial trek through the history of each team, what they were called, and where they called home. There are 30 teams in the MLB, so I'm actually only doing the National League in the Top of the Third.
31 min - Game 2: Second Inning: Women in Baseball
Who was the first woman to play baseball on a professional team? It goes back farther than you think.
