![Podcast promo card. The quote reads "The Red Sox traded Walt Dropo to the Detroit Tigers in 1952... where he promptly tied the MLB record for 12 consecutive hits.

I very much approve of this.
Every ballpark should offer a scorecard and a pencil for less than $2. It's the best souvenir in the park and it's wild to me that a lot of MLB teams either don't sell a standalone scorecard or force you to buy a $15-20 program for it.
Let’s air those grievances. I want to hear your pettiest gripes on this the holiest of days.

A quick highlight from our recent recreated radio broadcast of the Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox on Sept 17, 1953. Of course we're going to pick out a Ted Williams at-bat. youtube.com/shorts/wDOS2...

It is Thursday, September 17, 1953 and the Boston Red Sox are in a jam. Three games are left at Fenway, the home record is 36-37. Can Ted Williams help them avoid a losing record as they face the Detroit Tigers? This is our recreated broadcast, as if we were in the radio booth in '53 #redsox #tigers

While we're still building up our repertoire for recreating games, we've been choosing small games (midweek, no championship pressure, etc) and just enjoying baseball. But there are still moments; with Senators at Yankees on June 19 1963, I get to call a Roger Maris home run #yankees #baseball #mlb

Let's share some game recreations, starting with a short clip from the Cardinals at Padres game... on June 9, 1974. As far as I can tell, there is no surviving broadcast of this game, but you can now listen to Bob Barton's Sac Fly. #cardinals #padres #baseball #radio

Before Barry Bonds collected 30-30 seasons (30HR 30SB), his Dad already had his own 30-30 collection. The SF Giants visited the Montreal Expos on May 10, 1972, and it's a chance to hear Bobby Bonds in action. Lon Simmons and Bill Thompson take you through the game. open.spotify.com/episode/6MMx...
