Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

Episode 126 - The Umpire Said What? The Funniest Man in Blue Ever, Ron Luciano


Listen Later

This week we find out some minor league teams just never learn when it comes to beer promotions, we look back at a truly historical Padres-Nats game and ofcourse Lars Nootbaar. Our main story this week is the larger than life former MLB umpire (not Eric Gregg) Ron Luciano. From shooting out players on the bases to chatting them up at homeplate, Luciano probably had more fun than anybody else on the field. We recount many of his stories. Plus Wax Pack Heroes playing it loose with some loose singles that were sent to us. We definitely pulled some names that we haven’t discussed before.
