Episode 273 - Babe Herman But Not THAT Babe Herman

1 hour 9 minutes

In this gripping episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark (back from vaca) dive into the quirky career of Babe Herman, filled with curious fielding abilties and impressive hitting statistics. They revisit the infamous Colavito curse in Cleveland and discuss Sammy Sosa's controversial public apology. Adding an extra layer of fun, they engage in another thrilling edition of Wax Packs Heroes, featuring a special guest from the 1988 Topps Podcast, David McEllis. Additionally, they announce the winner of a Dave Stewart autographed jersey while reflecting on the importance of baseball history and community engagement. As always, the episode is sprinkled with pop culture references and good-natured, SFW humor.
