S2E5: The 19 K Club

The first episode in a mini series on those pitchers who've struck out 19 or more batters in a major league game, but it also has several cool sidetracks into other things- like Prince Hal Newhouser and his grand nephew's kindness, the Independent 1880 New York Mets, and pitchers who won 180+ games before they turned 30. Another instant classic!

S2E4: Sluggers of the 1970s, Part 5

Another installment of the 1970s Sluggers mini series for you, kicking off with a long look at Jeff Burroughs, but also featuring loads of sidetracks into things like how to steal home according to Billy Martin, the etymology of Vic Power's name, Cleveland's 10c beer night- and also Cleveland's 5c beer night (which often gets overlooked), a surprising Joe DiMaggio stat, and more!

S2E3: The Rogers Hornsby Thing, Finally! (This time for real)

After sidetracking on everything under the sun the past two episodes, Indy finally tells us the incredible thing Rogers Hornsby did NOT do, but someone else did. Not to worry, though, there are still plenty of sidetracks into Harry Heilmann, interesting facts about Wahoo, Nebraska, the 1925 American League batting race, and more.

S2E2: The Rogers Hornsby Thing (and the 1926 World Series)

There's something that Rogers Hornsby did NOT do that Indy was supposed to talk about in the first episode of season two. That's on the agenda today, but there are the usual sidetracks- this time about the 1926 World Series, Bubbles Hargrave, the McDLT, and a bit of an homage to Grover Cleveland Alexander.
