Who was Fred Merkle and what was his blunder? NY Giants and Cubs fans from the early 1900's know and so should you! Baserunning is hard, sometimes you just want to go celebrate with your teammates instead of actually touching the bases. We also talk about one of the most entertaining baseball broadcasters of all time, Harry Caray. Harry will help us figure out who's last name said backwards is most like a first name. What was Harry's favorite drink? I bet you know! And in Second Best we talk baseball and music.  

This week we take a look at the larger than life character that was Mark Fidrych as well as the great baseball players who put aside their careers (some Hall of Fame careers) to serve their country during World War II. 

One team was devoid of any good players the other razors. This week we explore the worst team in the history of the game, the 1899 Cleveland Spiders as well as the pioneering barnstorming team, the House of David, best known for their facial hair policy. 

Good teammate Jason Grimsley played Mission Impossible during a game in Chicago to get back a loaded bat. It was not easy. We also discuss moonshots, moon landings and who asked Mark to check a players pants? And for what?  

They told us, you can't possibly do a show just about jersey numbers? Hold my beer. Jeff and Mark explore the history of jersey numbers in baseball. When did they first appear? Do they mean anything? Will the Yankees retire every number possible?
