Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

Alot of crazy baseball history was made last week! Jeff and Mark review it all from combined no-hitters to historic batteries and strikeouts. They also discuss the crazy game Ferris, Cameron and Sloane got to see at Wrigley in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. In the main segment we remember the great umpire resignation of 1999 and the strike breakers of 1995. In Wax Pack Heroes the boys open up some 1990 Donruss and relive so great Hall of Famers.

Another start, another accolade for ShoTime, but he could use an upgrade when it comes to his walk up music and we have just the thing for him! Plus, just how much would it take to root for your least favorite team? The guys discuss their magic number plus what decade did Gar Finnvold or Ham Patterson play in? The main topic this week is the good ol’ days, or atleast according to MLB social media, any era but the present. Jeff gets some things off his chest about baseball social media as he explains how baseball has always been changing and complaining on social media isn’t going to help. Plus, why aren’t home plates made out of marble any more? It’s opening week for a new season of Wax Pack Heroes. Who will take the season opener with a pack of 2000 Topps?

Mark and Jeff have some suggestions for who to name the newly minted NL DH of the Year award after, breakdown an important record that was broken last week in Philadelphia and remember a couple of very important debuts that happened May 3rd. Then, the line by line examination of the 1986 Tour de Force that was Get Metsmerized. The boasts, the off-beat and mispronounced words and the missed opportunities in what could have been the greatest stadium rock anthem of all time…if it were any god at all. Finally, the closest ever Wax Pack Heroes edition comes down to the final card, finally.

Alot of baseball wackiness to talk about this week, but first, Miguel Cabrera did something historical last week, so we talked about that as well as nobody missing pitchers hitting so far, several MLB debuts including the anniversary of Mario Mendoza’s first appearance in MLB (you can guess about what he hit). We also cover a play being performed about a past show topic, a Hall of Famer who is directly responsible for both Jeff & Mark’s current paychecks, a millionaire managing a poor baseball team poorly and just which Major Leaguers have appeared on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Plus, some new rules for a new season of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we continue our on-going series of MLB pitchers who are a little bit off. Bughouse used to be synonymous being a little off, that’s where Bugs Raymond got his nickname. Bugs was a fan of the booze, but he was a hell of a pitcher too. We also talk about that one time Frank Sinatra managed the Cubs, try to figure out who Ichiro Cano is named after and remember some memorable debuts. We open a couple of packs of 2000 Topps.

This episode was some of the most fun we’ve had on this pod. We talk about our favorite players all the time, this week we talk all about our second favorite players at each position. Who’s Jeff’s second favorite left fielder? What about Mark’s second favorite pitcher? Let us know just how wrong we are on who our personal favorites are! Also, perfection in the NPB, some ballpark food with a ring to it and some two strike noise at Yankee Stadium. Plus, a curated pack of Wax Pack Heroes sent in by a listener.

This week we prepare for a baseball world without pitchers taking 3 called strikes in a row. We relive some of the greatest pitcher moments with the bat as well as some of the more common not so great moments featuring pitcher and bats. Plus we check in on Big Boss to see if he is the most exciting thing on the club, we prepare for hearing umpires explain their awful calls to the crowd, prepare for some numbers to be retired and look at this week’s debuts. We have a very special Wax Pack Heroes with some curated packs from a listener. Sad Romance (a.k.a.

While we wait for MLB to start, the NPB already has & Big Boss is already making waves. The rule no baseball fans likes returns for another season, while another that we like is put in place. The Savannah Bananas did their best Globetrotters impersonation and did something new for baseball, plus a historic debut remembered. In our main story we talk about John Lowenstein, a swiss army knife on the field and one of the great jokers off it. We recap some of his greatest hits & put him on the short list for Two Strike Noise sainthood. In Wax Pack Heroes, another couple of packs of 2000 Topps.

We start this week by remembering former guest of the pod Ralph Terry who passed away last week with a clip of him telling one of our favorite stories about meeting some of baseball’s royalty as a young player. Plus we talk Joey Votto’s hobbies, Mr. October in Astros orange (?) & we have our first debut segment of the season. To wrap up the show we open some 2000 Topps and get some big names and big scores.

Since there are already enough Mr. Belvedere podcasts, we’re going to stick to baseball history. Speaking of baseball, it’s back! We start off the first pod of spring training with some historical anniversaries, one of the first players to get paid and the other an inside the park home run that left on fielder stuck to the wall & another one doubled over laughing. Our main topic this week is somebody we talked about briefly a couple of weeks back, the original Louisville Slugger, Pete Browning. He’s most famous for bats, but he had a strange career and a hard life. Finally, in Wax Pack Heroes 1997 Donruss prove to be some exciting names, who will pull the most exciting?

This week, another installment of Tales from the Dugout! We discuss another celebrity that’s on the Rickey bandwagon as well as MC Hammer begging to be our friend. Also, Flint Rhem was a pretty good pitcher but an even better drinker. That leads to alot of drunken hi-jinx which is our middle name. Also, a Ladies Day turns raucous after the home 9’s dreamy pitcher is ejected & we speak as close to admiringly about Barry Bonds as we’re ever going to get. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of 1988 Fleer as we wind down another season.

The Yankees do 2 things more than anybody else, win World Series and retire numbers. They’re going to do one for sure next year. Scott Hatteberg hit a big walk off home run in 2002 to extend the A’s record winning streak, so why did he get fined for it? Last week was the 30th anniversary of maybe the greatest baseball themed episode in television history. We look back at the crazy game between Springfield and Shellbyville and some of the greatest MLB cameo’s ever. Plus we find out who turned down the opportunity at immortality. In Wax Pack Heroes we take on a couple of packs of 1988 Fleer.

This week, we found what might just be the craziest story on the back of a baseball card ever. Ricky Jordan and his broken jaw led to what might be the worst card back of all time. We dig into the mail bag to get more info about Rick Cerone and his, what we thought was a long lost, music career. How will it compare to Ruben Sierra’s? Our main topic this week has to do with bats, specifically the most iconic bat-maker of all time, Louisville Slugger. From it’s humble beginnings for a single batter to being synonymous with the game itself to all but disappearing in today’s game. Plus, some gifted 1990 Donruss for this week’s Wax Pack Heroes gives us some great names.

This week the worlds of MLB & KPop collide with a good dose of sideburns. We remember some players who have passed recently as well as Honus Wagner’s awesome brother (who also passed but along time ago). Yet another celebrity jumps on the Two Strike Noise bandwagon on social media & we discuss ESPN’s rankings of best uniforms. In our main segment, we celebrate Black History Month with two stories about African American’s in baseball that you might not have heard of before, Toni Stone & Joe Reliford. 1991 Score provide the ammo for this week’s edition of Wax Pack Heroes.

Managers as mascots, Shohei Otahni’s weakness finally exposed, NPB fashion updates, Larry Andersen’s stand up routine in the bullpen and more triple plays trivia. In our main story this week we discuss Steve Garvey. From all-American poster boy to Jerry Springer All-Star, we cover Steve’s successful on the field, with the ladies and some very odd appearances in tv and movies and finally as a snake oil salesperson. In Wax Pack Heroes we open some 1989 Topps in a battle for the stale gum.

This week we try to equate some cricket terms with baseball, talk sudden death and triple plays. In another edition of our Tales from the Dugout segment we dive into baseball’s hand in some crazy eating contests, a Ranger’s fake arrest and then his real one and finally the evolution of Lee Smith’s whole in-game persona explained by the man himself. It’s definitely not what you expect. Plus a mix and match version of Wax Pack Heroes.

For our 150th episode we first remember some of the pop culture icons we’ve lost already this year (related to baseball ofcourse), discuss the most consistent seasons ever & talk about some baseball rebrands for the upcoming season. Then it’s user content! We asked and you listened! We got a bunch of crazy boxscores from the past send in by listeners that were alot of fun to go through. We were also asked to bring back Second Best so we did along with more user submitted topics for us to talk about.

It’s been a crazy week for the off-season while the players are locked out. Making Camden Yards cavernous & Rachel Balkovec taking the reigns in Tampa are just the tip of the iceberg. Our main segment is about Keith Hernandez, somebody that seems to be mentioned almost every week on the show, but this week we go beyond Seinfeld. That means, co-MVP’s, drugs (alot of drugs), defense (alot of defense) all the way to the booth where he resides today. In Wax Pack Heroes we take on a couple of packs of 1996 Donruss for some players we’ve never talked about before. 1988 Topps Podcast - Ruben Sierra - https://anchor.fm/1988topps/episodes/Ruben-Sierra-771-e1cnreq Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

Last week we talked about some music made by baseball stars, this week we listen to it. Ruben Sierra impresses with his voice, Rick Cerrone gets all the accolades & Tim Burke gives the performance of a lifetime. Our main subject this week is boxscores, something we lived by every morning before the Internet let us watch every game as it happens. And a user submitted pack for Wax Pack Heroes tempts us with our favorite teams, but not always our favorite players.

We couldn’t forgive ourselves if we didn’t start the new year off without paying tribute to the one and only Betty White (ofcourse related to baseball). Then we do what we do best, talk about Rickey Henderson and Nolan Ryan. One fateful day in May, two of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform did something that might not ever be equaled again in a single day in baseball. In our first Wax Pack Heroes of the year, we open a couple of 1990 Donruss and bask in the waxy goodness.

We close out the year with some great stories about Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy, Eddie Gaedel, Jamie Moyer and ofcourse we put a bow tie on the year with another new Rickey Henderson story (that is 100% not true), straight from the man himself. Plus a Holiday movie review(?) and some rules changes the NPB incorporated into the game during WWII. Finally, a couple of packs of Donruss to close out before the break in Wax Pack Heroes.

Everybody’s had a horrible boss before, but George Steinbrenner was the king. Despite paying Dave Winfield a record contract, he hated the man! He had him benched, refused to pay his charity the money he owed them & even payed a known mob associate $40k for dirt on him. Winfield got the last laugh though, he made the Hall of Fame while George was (temporarily) banned for life. Hear all about the toxic workplace Winfield had to deal with. Plus we remember the Dave Winfield-Nolan Ryan brawl, revile in a song about Tom Henke & talk a little Back to the Future via the MiLB Rule 5 draft. And as always, Wax Pack Heroes where we tackle a couple of packs from 1991.

December 7th was an infamous day in history for both the USA and baseball. We remember both this week as well as take a moment to think about a trade for Bobby Bonilla, this year. In our main segment we remember the career of John Kruk as well as all the crazy late night talk show visits. Finally we rip a couple of packs of 1996 Donruss in Wax Pack Heroes.

This week former player & manager Bobby Valentine joins us to talk about his career. We talk about his infamous disguise in the dugout (we also find out it was not the first time he had gone undercover), managing & playing with our all-time favorite players, how many times he deserved to be tossed and George Steinbrenner did WHAT to the visiting clubhouse at Shea Stadium during the 2000 World Series? Bobby was also nice enough to open a pack of 1990 Upper Deck cards with us and had some great stories about some of the players we pulled (it was the perfect time to pull a Geno Petralli!).

This week we talk about the first player to win 2 World Series rings in 2 years AND have a string of pearls in the Hall of Fame, an MLB pitcher giving a clown what he deserves and Carlos Correa continues his heel act with a spicy (but true) take on a first ballot Hall of Famer. In the main segment of the show we ponder if Brett Butler is the best bunter in MLB history and learn about the art of hog calling while learning about pitcher Pea Ridge Day. In Wax Pack Heroes we rip a couple of 1991 Score packs and learn that whoever wrote Luis Soho’s Wikipedia page does not like him very much.

This episode of Tales form the Dugout focuses on some of the strangest and weirdest first basemen. We discuss a stone-gloved slugger, a bat-hungry slugger and a stinky slugger. We always thought left handed relievers were supposed to be the weird ones. Plus we discuss the new Big Boss inn Japan, Buster Posey and the Hall and the World Series celebration in Atlanta. In this week’s Wax Pack Heroes we both open some 1990 Fleers to find some familiar names.

This weeks episode is brought to you by PETA. One tweet set the baseball social media world crazy, so we got in on it a well. Alot of pitcher talk, a former MLB closer skippered a NPB team to a pennant, pitcher’s with food names and the main attraction, the entire, complete history of the term “bullpen” as it relates to baseball. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of 1997 Donruss.

Dutch Leonard is not a very common name, except for in Major League Baseball. There have been two of them, both pitchers and both with some crazy stories. One tended to trend toward the good, the other a bit more mischievous. Whether it was feuding with Ty Cobb, claiming Tris Speak was throwing games or just getting suspended, alot, the Dutch Leonard’s are fun to talk about. Plus, we discuss how Tony Suck really lived up to his name as well as the anniversary of several very noteworthy games. Wax Pack Heroes revisits some 1988 Score and Donruss.

Of all the crazy, weird and strange 80’s Wax Pack baseball cards, there are a handful that stand out. This week we tell the story of one of the oddest of the bunch. Glenn Hubbard loved snakes, so when he saw one on-field before a game in Philadelphia. Little did he know that picture would go from being a personal keep-sake to one of the most memorable Fleer cards ever. We also talk stolen base success rate or lack therefor of as well as baseball’s evangelical base stealer of the 1880’s. This week’s Wax Pack Heroes sees some 1992 Pinnacle cards where we learn of players who have gone on to NASCAR and the PBA.

With the risk of becoming a Red Sox history podcast, we revisit another crazy Boston playoff series/game. Timely home runs and clutch hitting helped take the Sox from the brink of elimination to baseball’s biggest stage for one of the most memorable World Series in history. Plus, we review some historic performances from this year’s playoffs so far, we ask an important question regarding a million dollar autograph and we consider the actual effects of a pitch clock. Finally, in this week’s Wax Pack Heroes, we open some 2008 Upper Deck and for the first time ever, get some guys who are still playing today!

Author John Vampatella joins us to talk about his new book, The Forgotten Game, which chronicles Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. Sandwiched between Big Papi’s 12th inning walk to keep the Red Sox in the Series and the infamous Bloody Sock Game, Game 5 was a marathon with two Hall of Fame pitchers on the mound (Mussina v Martinez). John was a blast to talk to about 80’s, 90’s & 2000’s MLB. Ofcourse there’s a Lars Nootbaar update, golf & baseball & which team has suffered the most ruptured um, man nether-regions? And why is anybody keeping track? Plus John sticks around for a round of Wax Pack Heroes.

Big show this week with a bunch of crazy stories! An epic new Rickey Henderson saga that almost got him thrown at, we besmirch a couple of Hall of Famers, we praise the Astros (wait,what!), wonder what’s up with Lars Nootbaar, stick up for Deon Sanders, remember a game where the team won by half a run and extol the toughness of Bob Gibson yet again.

Baseball is full of traditions, good or bad, that as a fan, you’ve got to take in stride if you go to a ballgame. There’s singing (the anthem, Take Me Out to the Ballgame), there’s strange people in costumes (the Chicken, the Phanatic), there is trickery (keep a decoy ball to throw back if you catch an opponent’s HR), and there’s more singing if you’re team wins. Why do we do these crazy things during a game? Plus, Lars Nootbaar, the Bob Brenley Game (?) and a 1990 Fleer edition of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we get started with some of the crazy baseball history that was made in the past week, we rank players who have been nicknamed Bull, we remember a wild game at Wrigley from 2001 in which the 7th inning stretch singer got tossed form the game (by Angel Hernandez surprise, surprise) but that wasn’t even the weirdest thing to happen in that game and ofcourse we review the week in Lars Nootbaar news. Our main story is a statistical review of Red Sox shortstop Johnny Pesky. He spent over 60 years in baseball & was involved in some memorable plays including a legend of the Pesky Pole in Fenway. Wax Pack Heroes takes on a couple of packs of 1993 Donruss.

Part two of our outstanding interview with former Padres & Giants pitcher, Dave Dravecky. He tells some crazy stories about the always off the wall Gaylord Perry, his most memorable mound visit and pitching at the icebox that was Candlestick Park. Dave was nice enough to stick around and play a round of Wax Pack Heroes with us as well, opening some 1986 Topps and telling some great stories about some of the players we pulled. Plus, as usual, the latest on Lars Nootbaar and some 1990’s sitcoms with the Blue Jays and the Griffey’s.

Episode 131 - Padres & Giants Pitcher Dave Dravecky Some players have stories that are so compelling & great you remember them off the field more than on. Dave Dravecky had a great career on the mound, but what happened to him after a cancer diagnosis and gruesome injury during his comeback are even a better story. In part one of our time with Dave, we talk about playing baseball in Hawaii, his lone career home run, the guys who hit him well, being an All-Star and alot more. Plus, Lars Nootbaar is heating it up in St. Louis, we remember Kent Hrbek’s major league debut and THAT play at first with Ron Gant and finally, another round of Wax Pack Heroes with some custom packs sent in by a listener.

Back in the studio after two weeks & we catch up on some of the crazy records that have been broken since we last recorded. No hitters, strike outs, blown saves and some really big Lars Nootbaar news! Our main story this week focuses on a relief pitcher with some of the best hair, best fashion sense and the best sense of humor. Don Stanhouse was known to lull batters to sleep while on the mound, but off the field he was he was known as Stan the Man Unusual. Our kind of guy. Wax Pack Heroes goes big, 1989 Topps Big. Will they be a big success or a big bust?

Lots of talk about stolen bases, team names and a really big debut anniversary. We do a deeper dive on Joey Votto and his recent HR streak and find one of the names he was chasing already had a special place in our show. We also relive a crazy game with a Hall of Fame umpire, a Hall of Fame shortstop and a pitcher named Togie. Plus some 1986 Fleer packs keep us occupied in another edition of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we review the worst trades ever made in baseball history. Some of the biggest names in MLB history were the result of really bad trades, atleast for one team. Babe Ruth, Pee Wee Reese, Lou Brock and David Ortiz (or Arias as it was) were acquired for next to nothing and went on to have Hall of Fame careers. We try to figure out who has made the most one-sided trades, the Red Sox or the Mariners. We also cover Olympic bullpen carts (which are awesome), a historic game between the Twins and Tigers and we lament Lars Nootbaar just sitting on the Cardinals bench. Plus round 2 of Wax Pack Heroes.

This week we talk about how Joe DiMaggio dominated the PCL before donning the pinstripes. He suited up for his hometown San Francisco Seals for an odd reason and soon caught the eye of MLB teams back east with his bat. Plus we talk Guardians baseball, the rangers futility, Lars Nootbaar (ofcourse), partake in some listener trivia and remember Charlie Kerfeld’s outstanding pranks in our debuts segment. Finally, we start off a new season of Wax Pack Heroes with a specially curated pair of packs provided by a listener. Who will start this year off on top?

This week we find out some minor league teams just never learn when it comes to beer promotions, we look back at a truly historical Padres-Nats game and ofcourse Lars Nootbaar. Our main story this week is the larger than life former MLB umpire (not Eric Gregg) Ron Luciano. From shooting out players on the bases to chatting them up at homeplate, Luciano probably had more fun than anybody else on the field. We recount many of his stories. Plus Wax Pack Heroes playing it loose with some loose singles that were sent to us. We definitely pulled some names that we haven’t discussed before.

It’s All Star week and we are all about it. We talk history of the Mid-Summer Classic, the Home Run Derby, streaks, records and Lars Nootbar. How well can you score on these All-Star level questions? Trust us, they are not easy but there are some great names to discuss in the answers. Plus Wax Pack Heroes comes down to the wire with some special All Star rules in play.

It’s been a couple of weeks so it’s time to empty out the strange but true baseball stories that have piled up since the last one. We sample some “unique” music form the Diamondbacks stadium, highlight some players other than Bobby Bonilla that are still getting paid, take a look at what Lars Nootbaar is up to this week as well as relive some classic baseball car pranks, Bo Jackson doing Bo Jackson things in a pool and Johnny Bench putting a veteran pitcher in his place as a rookie. Finally, another episode of Wax Pack Heroes, hint we pulled a Gregg Jefferies rookie card, so we basically hit the lottery.

Longtime radio voice of the Seattle Mariners, Rick Rizzs joins us this week. If it’s happened in baseball, Rick has seen it. Probably twice. We cover alot of topics with Rick including a never before heard follow up on Jello-Gate (which we covered in episode 89), Ken Griffey Jr. Getting grounded and just how many times Lou Pinella could kick his cap after getting tossed for arguing a bad call on the field. Plus, Rick opens a pack of 1992 Leaf baseball cards with us and remembers some great stories about the players we pull including one of this broadcast patterns.

Could Roger McDowell really have been the second spitter if he was infact in Pittsburgh? We dive into some seminal Seinfeld baseball lure, we remember some of Kurt Bevacqua’s greatest scraps along with some Father’s Day second generation players. In our main segment we remember a game that might have been called the Willie McGee game if it were not for Ryne Sandberg’s coming out party on the NBA Game of the Week. Wax Pack Heroes tackles some 1997 Donruss were there are Hall of Famers everywhere!

Sure, you’ve heard about Johnny Vander Meer throwing the only back to back no hitters in MLB history, but what about 3 in one season, including back to back? Tom Drees wasn’t given much of a chance in the bigs, but in AAA he completely baffled batters 3 times in one season. We hear all about his incredible season plus historic home runs in Fenway, Bartolo Colon doing Bartolo Colon things and Lou Gehrig trades in his Yankee hat for a ten gallon hat. Finally, we experiment with some new rules for Wax Pack Heroes.

On this week’s episode we recall Scott Lusader’s dreadful top of the first defense, Whit Merrifield doing Rickey things & Patrick Wisdom doing unheard of things. Our main story covers the brief but odd history of the Golden Baseball League. The leagues first year saw Hall of Famers, a city losing their team because the military seized their home stadium & a band of Japanese Ronin who played every game on the road.

Moe Drabowsky had a 17 year career in MLB, won two World Series rings with the Orioles and was a big league pitching coach for several years. But he might best be known as the Polish Prince of Pranks. Snakes, prank calls from the bullpen and the master of the hot foot. We celebrate Drabowsky’s entire catalog of tomfoolery and thusly proclaim him, Patron Saint of the Pod. Plus, Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig, Wax Pack Heroes and more Benny Disefano talk because why not?

Another award winning version of our Tales from the Dugout feature. This time we talk more about left handed hitting catchers and why you don’t see them anymore, walkoff triples, a Soft Bank Hawks fan that might have trolled the Yomiuri Giants a little too much for the local authorities liking. Plus the usual debuts, trivia and we visit the year of 1997 for this version of Wax pack Heroes.

There is alot to digest when talking about some of the weirdest trades in baseball history, literally. Teams apparently have no problem trading a player for some donuts, catfish, turkeys or barrels of oysters? Other weird asks when trying to make a trade: a new outfield fence, rent, a new suit and ofcourse the old standby, a bag of balls and some bats. Wax Pack Heroes rips some 2007 Upper Deck.
