Tom Hammond from Vintage Baseball Reflections and Chad Humphrey from Humphrey's BBQ

Tom Hammond has loved baseball since he was "knee-high to a grasshopper." His father, who was a Boston Braves fan, introduced him to baseball, and Tom has been a fan ever since. It has taken his love of the game and countless hours to create the website, https://www.vintagebaseballreflections.com/. On this website, there is enough content, some free and some for a fee, to keep a baseball fan entertained for hours, days, weeks, and perhaps even years. Everything from 900+ recorded radio broadcasts of games, interviews with hall-of-fame players, and old-time commercials can be found on the website. If this was not enough to keep Tom busy, he also has a podcast called, This Day in Baseball - The Daily Rewind which is a must-listen for all baseball history buffs.

Chad Humphrey saw a need, filled that need, and has become a major part of the barbecue smoker manufacturing community. In the Southwestern foothills of Maine is where you will find Chad and his wife Nicole and their team of craftsmen custom-building Humphrey's Smoker line of barbecue smokers and accessories. They have been repairing, enhancing, and producing BBQ and various other cooking products for the last 14 years. Their love for food, family, and friends, and knowing others share that same feeling, led them to build their line of BBQ smokers, so customers could cook enough food in almost any weather and with ease to bring family and friends together year-round. We often say that everyone has a story, and Chad's is a story of hard work and ingenuity. More information on Chad and Humphrey's BBQ can be found at https://www.humphreysbbq.com/

Multi Award-Winning Pitmaster, Heath Riles and Martin's Baseball Museum Curator, Tracy Martin

Heath Riles is a 75-time Grand Champion. He has been grilling since he was 18 years old and participated on his first competition BBQ team in Ashland, Mississippi. Since then his name has become synonymous with high-quality barbecue products which include an award-winning line of barbecue rubs, sauces, marinades, and injections. Barbecue is not just a mere hobby for Heath, but rather the career path he has chosen and the cooking style on which he is building a rich legacy. We are joined by our guest co-host, Doug Scheiding, also a renowned pitmaster, as we talk about barbecue with a bit of baseball talk. Heath discusses another surprise project he is starting. More information on Heath Riles can be found at https://www.heathrilesbbq.com/
Tracy Martin has a basement baseball fans adore and collectors envy. For nearly 50 years Tracy has collected items from the game he loves, including baseballs, gloves, bats, uniforms, memorabilia, bobbleheads, equipment, newspaper clippings, and many unique, one-of-a-kind items. Martin is a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan and as a kid growing up his favorite player was Johnny Bench. He has a Facebook page that shows off his collection and would like to have a storefront museum someday, but for now is content to have guests view the collection at his home and to occasionally bring items to local events for the public to enjoy. Tracy has things that even the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York has borrowed to display. Just as we say good-bye and stop recording Tracy tells us about his love of BBQ and we start recording again and talk about it. More information on Tracy Martin's museum can be found at https://www.facebook.com/martinsbaseballmuseum

Spanning the Globe to Bring Smoking Hot BBQ Talk With Ben Arnot from Smoking Hot Confessions and Exceptional Baseball Talk With Joe Ceraulo, Host of Ceraulo Sports Talk

Spanning the globe to bring smoking hot BBQ talk with Ben Arnot from Smoking Hot Confessions and exceptional baseball talk with Joe Ceraulo, host of Ceraulo Sports Talk

Ben Arnot believes in the power of barbecue. What exactly does that mean? To Ben and his Smoking Hot Confessions team, "It is a power that is unique and mystifying. It is the power to not only deliver delicious foods, but to bring people together and bind them in a way that little else can. Family and friends come together whenever there is meat over a flame. Old arguments are forgotten and fractured relationships are repaired. At Smoking Hot Confessions, we truly believe that BBQ has the power to heal the world." Beautiful thoughts from someone who has fallen in love with a style of cooking whose breadth is expanding worldwide and, in his native Australia, Ben is helping lead that growth. Ben hosts the Smoking Hot Confessions Podcast, writes a blog as well as the eBooks, The Bacon Manifesto and 27 Lessons Learned From Competition BBQ, makes numerous guest appearances, writes for the Barbecue News Magazine, and is active on many social media platforms.

Joe Ceraulo knows sports and conveys this knowledge in an extremely entertaining and professional manner. As host of the podcast, Ceraulo Sports Talk as well as the podcast, Bleav In Queens he gets to convey his knowledge and opinions with sports fanatics everywhere. He starts by telling us that baseball and BBQ are two of his favorite things, which immediately ingratiates himself with his hosts. He has known from an early age that he was either going to make his living playing sports or talking about them. He was a good athlete, but a much better talker, and we are the fortunate recipient. Joe is a tremendous New York Mets fan, as his father has worked in the Mets organization for many years and Joe had the opportunity to work for them as well. He is excited about the World Baseball Classic, but even more excited about the upcoming Major League Baseball season. Working his way up in the sports talk industry has included an internship at SiriusXM where he had the opportunity to learn from one of sports talk radio's pioneers, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo. Lots of exceptional baseball discussion and a smattering of barbecue talk.

We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home by the musician, Dave Dresser, and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
