In Part One of back to back outings Sean takes the mound and tells the story of Eric Show's abusive upbringing and his rise from motorcycle riding rebel to born again Christian Ace of the San Diego Padres. His actions weren't without controversy and we learn about the origins of a conspiratorial right wing group that got Eric Show into hot water.

Eds toes the rubber and tells Sean the story of John Bender, a man who was much less famous but infinitely more infamous than his hall of famer brother Charles. Early on in his career John showed promise just like his brother but an altercation on a steamboat ultimately turned the tide for the troubled batsman.

Pearce Chiles was not a good person! In fact he is probably a person we should have long forgotten had he not played a role in baseball's first electronic sign stealing scandal.

Eds heads back out to the hill and pours one in; and for the first time it's one that Sean has heard of before but not with such insight into the life of Morris, possibly Moses Berg. A man who not only managed to hang on in the majors for an extra ten years because of one day that changed the course of his career, but also a man whose later exploits changed the course of history altogether. 

Sean holds the rosin bag in this episode and tell Eds of the 1910 season. America watched as two future Hall of Famers duked it out for the batting title and more importantly; for the keys to a brand new Chalmers Model 30 Automobile. This trailblazing idea should have been an innocent promotion but instead it turned into one of baseball's biggest scandals.

This time its Levon, Sean and Eds Do Baseball as friend of the show, multi-talented musician and baseball fan Spencer Levon joins the fold to do some baseball. Eds tells the tale of the Eagles and their friendly however feisty relationship with Rolling Stone magazine that resulted in the greatest ego driven matchup Los Angeles would ever see.

It's Sean, Shawn, and Eds Do Baseball with baseball writer and history major; Shawn Smith. Sean brings the heat with the tale of the highly talented and regularly drunk Charlie Sweeney. In a short career Sweeney would set records good and bad but once his career ended, that is when things truly got out of hand.

Sean delivers a changeup with the tale of Johnny "Ugly" Dickshot who was know as the most homely man in 1930's baseball. The moniker stemmed from a horrible childhood incident that left his head disfigured. A true AAAA player of his time, Dickshot crushed minor league pitching but continuously struggled to stick in the bigs. So why do we care? His name was Ugly Dickshot!

Eds tells Sean the story of the long and legendary career of a man they called Knucksie, and the ironic circumstances he chose to compete in for the milestone that would surely secure him a place in the Hall of Fame. From the humble family beginnings in what is now Poland to the coal mines of West Virginia the Niekro brothers carried on a family tradition that would lead them both to lengthy and successful careers in the Major Leagues and one to the Halls of Cooperstown.

Sean toes the rubber and delivers our longest episode yet about the life of Gus Greenlee. Greenlee was many things; a war veteran, a booze runner, a numbers man, a community banker, a businessman, a philanthropist and owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords.
