Meet the stars of the most unique baseball league in the heart of America, the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League. Rance Burger introduces you to players who work all week in order to perform for stadium crowds on weekends. The insurance adjusters, teachers, pilots and plumbers become Ozark Mountain Ducks, Nixa Suckers and Moon City Mavericks for a precious few days each year. They share their life lessons through baseball and spread the true meaning of America's pastime.
Founded by Tony Lewis, the GRBL is based out of U.S. Baseball Park in Ozark, Missouri, a suburb of Springfield, Missouri. 417.
Josh Engler will enter the 2022 Grip 'N Rip Baseball League season with a 2.91 career earned run average across 68 innings pitched. He's allowed 47 hits, and struck out 97 batters in two seasons. If all goes well, he'll become just the third pitcher in seven years of GRBL baseball to strike out the 100th batter of his career.

It's the M-V-Podcast. Josh Engler is the 2021 Most Valuable Player of the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League. He struck out a single season record 69 batters in nine games with the Republic Locos, and he also got 12 hits.
Josh Engler is from Mount Vernon, Missouri, but now resides in Aurora with his wife, Ashlynn (nee Meredith) and daughter, Ivy. That's where we begin as we get to know the reigning MVP. We also explore the high school career that got him to the next level at Evangel University, and the factors that led to a mid-career move to Missouri Southern State University in Joplin.

Burger Bites Ep. 76 - Trey Watson
Lefty Trey Watson pitched for a team named in his honor in 2018, the Trey Watson Realty Closers. After growing up in Springfield, Missouri, and playing for the legendary coach Howard Bell's Glendale Falcons, Watson went on to play two years at Crowder College and then two years at Columbus State University in the Peach Belt Conference.
When his college baseball career came to an end, Watson came home to start a career and carry on his family tradition of being community-minded Springfieldians. He also found a second life in baseball, the second chance, ragtag, independent Grip 'N Rip Baseball League.
