Five years after The Tostado Section began as a Frankie Tostado fan page at a Richmond Flying Squirrels game, Frankie himself returns for a surprise anniversary call. The former Squirrels fan favorite checks in from the Cleburne Railroaders to talk American Association baseball, the Texas heat, his recent hot streak, and why he turned down an All-Star replacement spot to go home and build a crib.

Back in Richmond, Evan and Andy cover three weeks of Flying Squirrels baseball: Parks Harber’s power surge, Sabin Ceballos earning Dinger Daddy of the Week, Bo Davidson climbing the franchise home run list, Diego Velasquez walking off Akron in extra innings, Ryan Vanderhei becoming nearly unhittable, Will Bednar striking out the side, and the San Francisco Giants prospect movement reshaping the roster.

Also: the Tostado boys take over CarMax Park’s World Cup supporter section with face paint, chants, scarves and confetti cannons; review a bacon-wrapped footlong chili-cheese dog; debate whether naan or a baguette flies farther; choose walk-up songs; assemble a Richmond Flying Squirrels courtroom defense team; and answer another dangerously loaded Nutsack.

Five years. One surprise phone call. Three weeks of Double-A baseball. More hot dogs than judgment.

Welcome back to The Tostado Section: the official unofficial podcast of the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
