Join historian Indy Neidell and his baseball-crazy pal Berns for a deep dive into the waters of baseball history. Loads of stories, stars, stats, oddballs, heroes, and villains from all eras of baseball history brought vividly back to life in a sprawling tapestry to honor our favorite sport. This is really for the baseball nerds out there, those of you who really want to know all about the people and the events that shaped the National Pastime.
This week we get into how the emery ball, the most devastating pitch of them all, was revealed to the general public. Of course, Indy and Berns go off on side tracks about Billy Evans, Jimmy MacAleer, Walter Johnson defacing a baseball, a recent cricket scandal, whether Berns is related to Johnny Vander Meer, Joe Niekro's embarrasing sleight of hand, and more!
