Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

How long do you think walk up music for batters has been around? A decade? Maybe two? Try a century! We explore the Royal Rooters of Boston. Mazel tov! The Israeli team has become the first team to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics baseball tournament. A former member of the Israeli national team, Adam Greenberg faced only a single pitch in his MLB debut in 2005. Unfortunately it hit him in the head. Thanks to a fan sourced effort, he made it back for another AB in 2012! And it was bound to happen! A coach was tossed for arguing automated balls and strikes in the Atlantic League. Wait until you hear who it was. Plus, we pull our most valuable card ever in wax pack heroes!

Tales from the Dugout returns with a compilation of short stories from the past including a baseball episode of The Twilight Zone and two members of the vaunted double play combination, Tinker to Ever to Chance, take a 33 year vow of silence. Mark and Jeff also discuss the old school/new school takes on this year’s World Series and of course Baby Shark. We play another round of Wax Pack Heroes with ‘88 Donruss, who will hit the lottery this week?

Drones, ice packs and tanning beds. Pretty innocuous objects to most, but not to baseball players! Baseball has to have the strangest injuries of any sport. This week we dive into some of the strangest that have kept players on the DL. We also talk about the Colorado Silver Bullet. This all women’s barnstorming team took the country by storm during the early 90’s doing baseball things. So much so they even had a bench clearing brawl! We’ve got the blow by blow details. Plus, wax pack heroes returns!

It's the penultimate episode of our look at current MLB coaches and their playing careers. This week it's the AL & NL East's turn. Will the Yankees and Red Sox dominate like they do everything else? We also look at the tragic history of players in the MLB named Aurelio as well as why one of them has a famous 1969 Topps card. Also, our best crop of debuts, maybe ever. Finally, we revisit Second Best with a new topic, baseball pranks.

Spring training has begun but we’re already in midseason form. The Savanna Bananas had a new player but nobody could see him, Tommy Pham likes fantasy football more than the actual game apparently, Jeff Ballard’s IMDB page is better than we expected and some huge Blue Jays news.
Our main segment this week is a lyric by lyric breakdown of the 1990 criminally overlooked rap by the Cincinnati Reds, Reds Hot. Barry Larkin gathered some of the best baseball players but worst rappers he could find to lay down some sick beats about staying in school, not doing drugs and kicking ass. It appears Chris Sabo was able to sneak into the studio and get in some lines as well.
