Episode 156 - Tales from the Dugout v24

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2022/03/08

This week, another installment of Tales from the Dugout! We discuss another celebrity that’s on the Rickey bandwagon as well as MC Hammer begging to be our friend. Also, Flint Rhem was a pretty good pitcher but an even better drinker. That leads to alot of drunken hi-jinx which is our middle name. Also, a Ladies Day turns raucous after the home 9’s dreamy pitcher is ejected & we speak as close to admiringly about Barry Bonds as we’re ever going to get. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2022/03/01

The Yankees do 2 things more than anybody else, win World Series and retire numbers. They’re going to do one for sure next year. Scott Hatteberg hit a big walk off home run in 2002 to extend the A’s record winning streak, so why did he get fined for it? Last week was the 30th anniversary of maybe the greatest baseball themed episode in television history. We look back at the crazy game between Springfield and Shellbyville and some of the greatest MLB cameo’s ever. Plus we find out who turned down

Episode 154 - Louisville Sluggers

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2022/02/22

This week, we found what might just be the craziest story on the back of a baseball card ever. Ricky Jordan and his broken jaw led to what might be the worst card back of all time. We dig into the mail bag to get more info about Rick Cerone and his, what we thought was a long lost, music career. How will it compare to Ruben Sierra’s? Our main topic this week has to do with bats, specifically the most iconic bat-maker of all time, Louisville Slugger. From it’s humble beginnings for a single batter to

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

Yet another celebrity jumps on the Two Strike Noise bandwagon on social media & we discuss ESPN’s rankings of best uniforms. In our main segment, we celebrate Black History Month with two stories about African American’s in baseball that you might not have heard of before, Toni Stone & Joe Reliford

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

Episode 149 - I’m Keith Hernandez

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2022/01/18

It’s been a crazy week for the off-season while the players are locked out. Making Camden Yards cavernous & Rachel Balkovec taking the reigns in Tampa are just the tip of the iceberg. Our main segment is about Keith Hernandez, somebody that seems to be mentioned almost every week on the show, but this week we go beyond Seinfeld. That means, co-MVP’s, drugs (alot of drugs), defense (alot of defense) all the way to the booth where he resides today. In Wax Pack Heroes we take on a couple of packs of

2022/01/11

Last week we talked about some music made by baseball stars, this week we listen to it. Ruben Sierra impresses with his voice, Rick Cerrone gets all the accolades & Tim Burke gives the performance of a lifetime. Our main subject this week is boxscores, something we lived by every morning before the Internet let us watch every game as it happens. And a user submitted pack for Wax Pack Heroes tempts us with our favorite teams, but not always our favorite players. Rick Cerrone superlatives for his

Episode 147 - May 1, 1991

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2022/01/04

We couldn’t forgive ourselves if we didn’t start the new year off without paying tribute to the one and only Betty White (ofcourse related to baseball). Then we do what we do best, talk about Rickey Henderson and Nolan Ryan. One fateful day in May, two of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform did something that might not ever be equaled again in a single day in baseball. In our first Wax Pack Heroes of the year, we open a couple of 1990 Donruss and bask in the waxy goodness. Pop Fly Pop Shop

Episode 145 - Horrible Bosses (Winfield/Steinbrenner)

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2021/12/14

Everybody’s had a horrible boss before, but George Steinbrenner was the king. Despite paying Dave Winfield a record contract, he hated the man! He had him benched, refused to pay his charity the money he owed them & even payed a known mob associate $40k for dirt on him. Winfield got the last laugh though, he made the Hall of Fame while George was (temporarily) banned for life. Hear all about the toxic workplace Winfield had to deal with. Plus we remember the Dave Winfield-Nolan Ryan brawl, revile in

This week former player & manager Bobby Valentine joins us to talk about his career. We talk about his infamous disguise in the dugout (we also find out it was not the first time he had gone undercover), managing & playing with our all-time favorite players, how many times he deserved to be tossed and George Steinbrenner did WHAT to the visiting clubhouse at Shea Stadium during the 2000 World Series?

This week we talk about the first player to win 2 World Series rings in 2 years AND have a string of pearls in the Hall of Fame, an MLB pitcher giving a clown what he deserves and Carlos Correa continues his heel act with a spicy (but true) take on a first ballot Hall of Famer. In the main segment of the show we ponder if Brett Butler is the best bunter in MLB history and learn about the art of hog calling while learning about pitcher Pea Ridge Day.

This episode of Tales form the Dugout focuses on some of the strangest and weirdest first basemen. We discuss a stone-gloved slugger, a bat-hungry slugger and a stinky slugger. We always thought left handed relievers were supposed to be the weird ones. Plus we discuss the new Big Boss inn Japan, Buster Posey and the Hall and the World Series celebration in Atlanta. In this week’s Wax Pack Heroes we both open some 1990 Fleers to find some familiar names. Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram -

Episode 139 - Who Is the Real Dutch Leonard

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2021/10/26

Dutch Leonard is not a very common name, except for in Major League Baseball. There have been two of them, both pitchers and both with some crazy stories. One tended to trend toward the good, the other a bit more mischievous. Whether it was feuding with Ty Cobb, claiming Tris Speak was throwing games or just getting suspended, alot, the Dutch Leonard’s are fun to talk about. Plus, we discuss how Tony Suck really lived up to his name as well as the anniversary of several very noteworthy games. Wax

2021/10/19

Of all the crazy, weird and strange 80’s Wax Pack baseball cards, there are a handful that stand out. This week we tell the story of one of the oddest of the bunch. Glenn Hubbard loved snakes, so when he saw one on-field before a game in Philadelphia. Little did he know that picture would go from being a personal keep-sake to one of the most memorable Fleer cards ever. We also talk stolen base success rate or lack therefor of as well as baseball’s evangelical base stealer of the 1880’s. This week’s

Episode 137 - 1986 ALCS Game 5

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2021/10/12

With the risk of becoming a Red Sox history podcast, we revisit another crazy Boston playoff series/game. Timely home runs and clutch hitting helped take the Sox from the brink of elimination to baseball’s biggest stage for one of the most memorable World Series in history. Plus, we review some historic performances from this year’s playoffs so far, we ask an important question regarding a million dollar autograph and we consider the actual effects of a pitch clock.
