This week's episode is part 2 of the two-part series that Johnny and Eric recorded together in person in Birmingham, Alabama. 

We recorded live together from inside Regions Field, home of the Double-A Birmingham Barons.

We discuss what our go-to ballpark food and drinks consist of, and what jobs we'd want to hold if we worked for a team in Minor League Baseball.

We recap our time at Rickwood Field and the stories we heard from Clarence Watkins from The Friends of Rickwood.

This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series that Johnny and Eric were able to record live and in person together on May 5th in Birmingham, Alabama.

We were able to visit historical Rickwood Field, the oldest ballpark in America. The stadium was built in 1910 and has been around for 112 years now.

Hear the stories that former Executive Director of The Friends of Rickwood, Clarence Watkins, tells about the history of the stadium and the ballplayers that have graced that field.

We had the pleasure of recording inside of the locker room at Rickwood Field.
