Sean and Eds Do Baseball

Sean winds up with a fastball to tell the story of hard throwing pitcher Moses Yellowhorse. From the Pawnee Nation; Yellowhorse's arm caught the attention of baseball's elite and brought him to the big leagues at a young age. Despite a strong arm and cheers from the Pittsburgh faithful dedicated specifically to young Moses, his career would be very short but very eventful.

Eds heads to the mound with a short outing; telling the story of fellow countryman, The Only Nolan. Born Edward Sylvester Nolan, in Trenton, Canada, Nolan gained what turned out to be one of the most ironic nicknames in baseball history. He stumbled into the major leagues and wouldn't stay long as he could never stray far from controversy. 

Sean twirls a strong outing with the story of Stanley "Frenchy" Bordagaray - who was Basque! Bordagaray made headlines; mostly off the field with his goofy antics and stunts which created some major consternation for his manager Casey Stengel. 

Eds hits the corner with a heater as he blazes through the life story of Hall of Fame Phillie and Broadcasting Legend Don Richie Whitey Ashburn. A story inspired by one fateful afternoon of "Putt-Putt's" career that surely beat the odds.

Sean goes up and in with the story of Joe Sprinz and his attempted record setting catch that on his birthday no less, ended in disaster at the San Francisco World's Fair!

Eds throws a curveball in a fastball count and brings an old player back onto the roster with a more in depth covering of the life of Randy Bass; the NPB's first American superstar, who due to some poor foresight by his club was railroaded out of town in the most despicable of circumstances. Listen to how those circumstances left a sour taste in the mouth of the Tigers legend and how they created an awful dilemma for the Hanshin GM.

Sean winds up for back to back starts with the tale of two friends brought together by baseball and connected forever by one tragic day on the diamond.

Sean throws a strike with the story of James "Pud" Galvin; a small but mighty pitcher and MLB's first 300 game winner. Galvin's career would be overshadowed by other stars of the 1880's but a revelation from the early 2000's would embroil him in a modern scandal.

Eds returns to the mound with the story of Benny Meyer, a man that Babe Ruth called “the noisiest coacher in either league," who as a young man was given an ultimatum by his father that set him on a path toward a life of baseball.

Sean's on the bump with the story of Wild Bill Hagy. One of the original Superfans who led a section of rowdy fans in the bleachers of Baltimore in the late 1970's. Wild Bill's cheers and dancing made him famous before a falling out with the team led to his arrest. His story even inspired an early episode of the Simpsons.
