Andrew Miller joins us again on The History Things Podcast, this time talking about some early baseball history! 

Andrew is a big baseball geek and devoted Detroit Tigers fan, and he joins us to talk about the moment Major League Baseball came of age at the turn of the 20th century! 

Known as the Dead Ball Era, the period between 1900 and 1920 was a time of great change in baseball and it set the stage and possibly created the magic that became the game we know and love today!

Pat & Parker got to have a night out on the town! This past week, the fellas attended the Frederick Speakers Series and had the awesome experience of listening to famed ocean explorer and personal hero of ours, Dr. Robert Ballard, talk about his illustrious career and the future of ocean exploration and discovery. 

Sitting in the same room and listening to the stories of  the man who discovered the wreck of the RMS Titanic and set in motion such a big part of our lives, was literally a dream come to true!

So for this short and sweet episode, we breakdown the night and talk about how much fun that was!
