If you want the story from the horses mouth, here's your opportunity to hear about the unrest in the Hungarian Baseball league from one of the people who helped FOUND baseball in Hungary; Mr. Balazs Halmos.

You'll hear about his story - from using an old soccer ball as a catchers mitt in the 80s, to todays scandal that has torn apart baseball in Hungary.

We cover the implications on the league, we get his view on the entire situation regarding the national teams and their "refugee status" in Croatian/Slovakian Baseball.

Did you know Hungary invented a ridiculous amount of stuff.
Hungary gave the world. The Rubik’s Cube, The ballpoint pen,Holography, and key early computer concepts
For a country of 10 million, that’s wild brain density.

But unfortunately at this moment in time, Baseball kind of isn't a thing. After a disagreement over olympic funding, the league has all but disbanded - we explain more in todays Podcast.

Slovakia, a country that knows how to lose repeatedly and still come back fighting - wait... let me explain that better in the podcast, it's really a compliment.

Vienna has more famous desserts per square metre than almost anywhere on Earth. Sachertorte, Apfelstrudel, Linzer Torte, Kaiserschmarrn — half of Europe’s comfort food comes from one little alpine country that decided butter, sugar and melancholy should go together. Just my opinion, but that would be the perfect accompaniment for a 7th inning stretch.

Matthias snags a member of the Austrian Baseball Federation, Phil Weller for a chat on the current state of Austrian Baseball.

Matthias is fired up for Women's professional baseball starting next season in the USA, featuring several European origin players and we talk to Evan Opperman star of the Rättvik Butchers baseball team about his life and what it's like to play baseball in the nordics.

Edward George "Ted" Barrett, a legendary Major League Baseball umpire and the only man to call balls and strikes in two perfect games, joins us this week.

We talk about what it takes to stay sharp in the big leagues, the challenges facing umpires in Europe and where he stands on the arrival of “robot umps.” Plus: travel perks, playoff pressure, and the unexpected spiritual path of a man who’s seen it all from 60 feet, 6 inches away.
