Indy Neidell's Baseball History Time Machine

Another installment of the 1970s Sluggers mini series for you, kicking off with a long look at Jeff Burroughs, but also featuring loads of sidetracks into things like how to steal home according to Billy Martin, the etymology of Vic Power's name, Cleveland's 10c beer night- and also Cleveland's 5c beer night (which often gets overlooked), a surprising Joe DiMaggio stat, and more!

After sidetracking on everything under the sun the past two episodes, Indy finally tells us the incredible thing Rogers Hornsby did NOT do, but someone else did. Not to worry, though, there are still plenty of sidetracks into Harry Heilmann, interesting facts about Wahoo, Nebraska, the 1925 American League batting race, and more.

There's something that Rogers Hornsby did NOT do that Indy was supposed to talk about in the first episode of season two. That's on the agenda today, but there are the usual sidetracks- this time about the 1926 World Series, Bubbles Hargrave, the McDLT, and a bit of an homage to Grover Cleveland Alexander.

Indy and Berns kick off Season 2 of this weirdness in top Time Machine form: Indy sets the scene for what the episode is about, and then spends the rest of the entire episode side tracking about... well, loads of things... let's see... the most important game ever played, Chicago single season batting average leaders, Guy Hecker, leaving the game for love, rule changes in 1876- Lord, where do these idiots not side track to?
A new season but the same old great stuff (and yes, we are aware of the mild buzzing noise, but this was recorded on Good Friday so you get what you get).

Indy and Berns get back to the Sluggers of the 1970s Mini Series, today covering a pair of early 70s White Sox homer champs. Also the usual sidetracks into things like Ed Walsh's clutch run at the end of the 1908 season and a guy who played for nearly every team in his league. Same old great stuff as always.
