  • Episode 105 | That's The Game! (For Now...)

    Well folks, it's been a while! We're approaching the end of the regular season & it's time we talked baseball.... one more time!

    On Episode 105 of The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom & Tony explain why they have decided to hang up their microphones after 4 years of podcasting! But before they end things, they look back on their predictions from earlier this season & see how they've aged in a recap of the season so far.

    While we're not sure if there will be any future surprise episodes, we want to thank you all so much for supporting the podcast over the years! What started out as a random idea in a night full of alcohol turned into something we really looked forward to creating! We loved just being able to sit back, relax, share a joke or two, and talk about our favorite sport with you all! Until next time, thank you for tuning in & go Yankees!

    -Tom & Tony
