Toy Cannon Canon

The third and final part of Episode 6 sees Jacob canonize a seemingly irrelevant figure in baseball history. However, his impact on his hometown team ended up being far greater than he ever could've imagined.

Continuing in our new format, here's the second individual canonization from Episode 6. Guest Jimmy Arvan comes on to discuss one of the greatest coaches in college football history, who smacks of the similarly dour captain of Foxboro's sidelines.

The Canon is trying something new: individual canonizations on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and the entire, largely uncut pod on Friday. So, if you're into the whole brevity thing, the midweek pods will be perfect. If you prefer long pods on the beach, Friday drops will be for you. Vik, Jimmy and Jacob canonize the unsung hero of the Humongous Entertainment catalog: Backyard Soccer.

Vik and Jacob welcome guest Jared Deluccia to canonize the 20th round pick who set the baseball world on fire for 15 days (2:30) and MLB's best-kept secret of the 70s and 80s (14:29). Plus, Vik shares a hot take as he inducts The Canon's first film entry (23:21).

Vik and Jacob are joined by guest Jimmy Arvan to expand the powers of the canon. Vik canonizes the chaotic Dominican some call the best hitter of the 80s (2:16). Jimmy welcomes the first non-baseball player into the Toy Cannon Ohana (15:00). And Jacob makes 200 points as he inducts a non-athlete altogether (26:50)!

In honor of Passover, Jacob canonizes baseball's first Jewish great, who likely was the first star of professional baseball. Then Vik presents a young pitcher whom everyone believes was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But the pitcher considers himself as lucky as they come.

Vik and Jacob canonize two hot-headed players both held back by the Brooklyn ball club. One gets remembered for his cartoonish name rather than his outstanding play. The other hardly gets remembered at all. Now, both get immortalized in The Canon.

Jacob Wessels, Vik Raghupathi, and Matt Wilson canonize the inaugural class and answer some age-old questions. Why did everybody hate Scott Hairston? Why didn't Denny McLain start the 1969 All-Star Game? Plus, the boys picked the perfect time to celebrate Easter.

Vik Raghupathi and Jacob Wessels introduce themselves and the concept of the Toy Cannon Canon, while also talking a little about its inspiration: Jimmy "Toy Cannon" Wynn.
