Our annual holiday special this year has some of the usual stuff like rules changes, Hall of Fame voting, Larry Doby and Jake Peavy. But this year we also threw in some of the best holiday adjacent names from our favorite sport and Mark rewrites a holiday classic to reflect some players Jeff has never heard of before. The final Wax Pack Heroes of the year could either bring Mark closer to the

This week we have a bunch of baseball stories the rest of big baseball won’t tell you about.

We could lose our podcasting license for telling their stories but we’ll risk it for our listeners.
