Jacquis Neal and Matt Bragg return for a special round of Drowsy History — this time covering one of the wildest chapters in sports lore: the two years when Michael Jordan swapped the court for the diamond.
What You’ll Hear:
Holiday Hangovers & Train Delays: The hosts trade winter stories, from England’s bonfire nights to Jacquis’ 50-hour Amtrak odyssey from Florida to Chicago.

The Baseball Years: From luxury tour buses to 95-mph fastballs, Jacquis explains why Michael Jordan’s short-lived baseball career was tougher (and better) than most remember.
I’m Back: How one two-word fax reignited a dynasty — and why Matt thinks only America could make a sports comeback this cinematic.
