Baseball and BBQ

Episode 65 is guaranteed to satisfy baseball and barbecue lovers.Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, https://nlbm.com/ was our very first podcast guest, and we are thrilled that he is back to talk more baseball history. He is a wonderful storyteller, and we ask him about the African American baseball players who were the first to play on each of the 16 teams in existence after Jackie Robinson first broke baseball's color barrier in 1947. There is not much Bob does not know about baseball history, so we throw in some more questions, including our thirst for knowledge about the great Oscar Charleston. This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Negro Leagues and Jeff and Len both tip our caps as a show of admiration and respect.Michael Mullen and Brett Mandel are joining us for the first time, but our devoted listeners should already be very familiar with their company, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com/ as we have been promoting their wonderful one-of-a-kind, personalized baseball themed barbecue tools and hats and shirts.

Episode 64 features three great guests, two outstanding interviews and one spectacular musical ending. Ryan Cooper and Sean Ludwig are back by popular demand and make a triumphant return. Ryan is founder of the BBQ Tourist website, https://bbqtourist.com, dedicated to celebrating the best barbecue in America.

Together they are the co-founders of The Smoke Sheet, https://www.bbqnewsletter.com, a weekly email that curates the latest national barbecue news, upcoming events, top recipes, and so much more. Their knowledge is extensive and the love they have for barbecue is infectious. We thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to have them on. Brad Balukjian took the road trip of a lifetime and makes a stop on our show to discuss the journey which he eloquently writes about in perfect detail in, The Wax Pack: On the Open Road in Search of Baseball's Afterlife. To say that he opens a single pack of 1986 Topps baseball cards and then goes on an 11,341 mile road trip through 30 states in 48 days to interview 15 players does not do justice or even scratch the surface of this wonderful book. Brad's adventures are fascinating, what he learned is meaningful, and when the trip ended, getting the book published proved to be another daunting adventure. We conclude the show with a wonderful new song called "Ace & Bobo" from our friends Dave Dresser and Shel Krakofsky.
