Episode 296 - The Babe You Forgot, Babe Phelps
In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark cover some fresh headlines around the game — including Mariano Rivera going down at Yankees Old-Timers’ Day, Jen Pawol breaking barriers behind the plate, and Fernando Rodney still firing arrows in Canada at age 48.
The main topic this week is Babe Phelps, one of baseball’s many “Babes,” but maybe the quirkiest of the bunch. From hitting .367 as a catcher, to Casey Stengel roasting his pitch-calling, to being nicknamed “The Grounded Blimp” after refusing to fly, Phelps collected as many roommate stories as base hits. Along the way, we meet a young Pee Wee Reese moving hotel furniture in his sleep, Tom Zachary hiding wallets on the floor, and even Babe Ruth bunking with Phelps on the road.
The episode wraps up with another round of Wax Pack Heroes, tearing open some cardboard to see which stars and oddballs pop out this week.
