In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark delve into various baseball history topics, starting with the story of Cal Ripken Jr.'s minor league team, the Iron Birds, and the infamous Billy Ripken 'f##k face' baseball card, interesting quirks like nickname origins, Vince McMahon's surprising link to Negro League baseball, and a major 1962 cheating scandal involving the Giants that was covered up and rarely discussed. They also honor recently passed players, including Bob Uecker and Tommy Brown, and battle through another round of 'Wax Pack Heroes' with vintage baseball cards. Fun facts, nostalgic moments, and quirky stories make this episode a home run!
