Dugout of History

Colleen and Chrystal bring you the tale of the Pine Tar Incident, which began in July of 1983 with Brett's ejection from a game after hitting what appeared to be a go-ahead home run at Yankee Stadium and didn't turn out to be one until much later, and with much scandal. And we got a classic bobblehead out of it.

Colleen and Chrystal are baseball mad, have the fever and have it bad... wait, that's not the line, it's Katie Casey who was baseball mad, had the fever and had it bad. If you don't know what song Katie Casey is from, well, yes you do. It's seventh inning stretch time for Dugout of History!

Colleen and Chrystal bring you the story of New York's National League baseball team, from the Mets' founding in the wake of the Dodgers and Giants leaving the Big Apple for California, through the 1969 and 1986 world championships, to today's contenders with Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto.

If you already know the story, you know that you're in for a good one with Chrystal and Colleen back to talk about Dock Ellis, a 12-year major league veteran, 1971 All-Star and world champion, and author of one of the unlikeliest no-hitters in major league history.

Colleen and Chrystal bring you the silver lining of Pete Rose's posthumous and political reinstatement to baseball eligibility: Shoeless Joe Jackson, more than a century after the Black Sox scandal, also got unbanned in Rob Manfred's purge of the Permanently Ineligible list. The subject of plenty of artistic pieces and movies over the years, Jackson's true history is one of the most interesting stories the game has to tell.

Chrystal and Colleen bring you the story of the Kansas City Blues of the early 20th century American Association, who churned out Hall of Fame prospects for the Yankees until Major League Baseball’s westward push brought the A’s to Missouri, and sent them on to Denver, New Orleans, and eventually Wichita.
