Author Jacob Kornhauser joins us talk about his book The Cup of Coffee Club. Jacob highlights some true “cup of coffee” guys. These are players who appeared in only a single game in their major league career, and in one case, the word appeared is all they did. Hear how each player handled a much shorter version of what they hoped would have been a long career in the majors. A couple of the names we’ve covered in the past, but Jacob offers a much more in depth look at their short careers. Wax Pack Hero is a pack of 1988 Fleer this week and it was looking kind of tough until a member of the Pacific Sock Exchange showed up.
