Spanning the last six decades of baseball fandom and history, a modern day father and son discuss and debate the latest “beisbol” news, controversies, heartbreaks, and insights with a melange of love, hero worship, and withering disdain for the game’s unrepentant villains and inimitable characters. Sometimes realizing that America’s pastime changes almost as slowly and weirdly as they do.
All-Star Politics: The Ghosts of Robinson & Campanis. Mystical, Magical, & Horrendous Baseball Names (S1/E2) by Rowyams & Big Daddy
After passage of a tight ass voting rights law by Georgia Republicans, Rowyams & Big Daddy ("the Guys") discuss whether MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made the right call by yanking America's summer classic from Atlanta with "Mommy" who could not have cared less. In doing so, the Guys soon confront more profound issues on whether today's extravagantly paid, multicultural professional athletes have eclipsed the racist history of the "national pastime". Is diversity on the field equally represented at the highest echelons of baseball? Lacking any clearcut answers, the Guys chew over the safer creature comforts of sampling among the most mystical sounding names of baseball lore before nailing down which are truly cringe worthy. With a final return to reality, debate centers upon which new rules are too cool and which are way too stupid. If you appreciate cooling off on such hot-button topics as these, residing somewhere between intellectual floss and fluff, dive into the latest episode of Mad About Beisbol.
