This week, Ben from the Diamonds & Roses podcast joins Jeff and Mark to talk all about the history of baseball in the state of Oregon as well as expansion talk and bringing the MLB to the PDX. We talk about some of the great nicknames some of the historical teams from the Beaver State, including the Beavers, the independent Portland Mavericks with 2nd baseman Kurt Russell (yes, that Kurt Russell!) and what exactly would be the best name for a new MLB team in Portland? Also, we know the Save is a stupid stat, but it became a statistic for a pretty stupid reason. Find out why.
