Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

Episode 279 - Old Tyme Spring Training Stories and Myths


Listen Later

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark discuss the thrill of spring training games and the metaphorical return of baseball season, with some humorous tangents on the Hallmark Channel? To celebrate Black History Month they recount historical tales involving the Negro Leagues, the first night game in 1932, the 1936 Summer Olympics with Mac Robinson, and the various antics of early 20th-century baseball players in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The show closes with a classic round of Wax Packs Heroes, where the battle for baseball card supremacy remains tightly contested.
