Episode 87 - Ron LeFlore Or Is That LaVar Burton?

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast ·

2020/10/13

Ron LeFlore is the only player to have lead both leagues in stolen bases. Until this week that was about all we really knew about him. Now, we know alot more. He was discovered while playing in a prison baseball league, because, well, he was in jail. Form the exercise yard to Tiger Stadium LeFlore went on to become an All Star but he could not escape his old life. Hear the whole story or watch the ABC made for tv movie One In A Million. Probably easier to listen to the pod to be honest. Plus, 1988

2020/09/22

A real-life Nuke LaLoosh or maybe Syd Finch, that’s Steve Dalkowski. LaLoosh is even said to be loosely based on the Orioles fireballer who never quit knew where the ball was going to end up. One thing everybody knew though, it was going to get there really fast. Hear about the live arm that made Dalko a legend. Wax Pack Heroes this week sees a couple of packs of 1990 Fleer donated by a listener. Who will strike it rich? Pedro Guerrero getting mad -

Just imagine never collecting a single paycheck, your entire life, that you didn’t earn from baseball? That was the dream life that Don Zimmer got the chance to live. From player, to coach, to manager to baseball legend. The man with the face only a mother could love spent 66 years in the game, he wore uniforms for more teams than he didn’t. This week we talk about all facets of his career, from the metal screws in his head to the Boys of Zimmer. Plus we look to break to deadlock in season two of

Chickens in the outfield, bags of flour dropping on the infield from above and fewer pictures of all of this than of Bigfoot. We’ll get to the bottom of this Dodger Field mystery. Plus chicks dig the long ball. If that’s true, Joe Bauman must have been very popular in the Longhorn League. Joe put together what might be the best season in the history of baseball in 1954. Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, even Mark McGwire could not equal the 138 game totals Joe put up for the Roswell Rockets. We’ll share all

This week we talk about fishy HR’s, players born at sea and Oyster Burns. Definitely a bit of a nautical theme. Plus, Bob Aspromonte, a light hitting member of the Colt .45’s who is befriended by a young boy in the hospital. In a baseball tale as old as time, a bed ridden fan asks their favorite player to hit them a home run. What happened after that was beyond anything Babe Ruth or Paul O’Neill could fathom. Finally, Mark is one win away from clinching the first season championship in Wax Pack
