Sean and Eds Do Baseball

36 Emmet Ashford

Sean tells the tale of another trailblazing umpire, and for the first time Eds sees it coming. In an episode which came so close that it actually crossed path's with the previous story, Sean shares the life of Emmett Ashford, a tenacious man who dug in against the adversity of the day and remained true to himself despite the resistance to his energetic style to take the American League by storm.

35 Bob Motley

Eds gets back on track with a story for Sean about a man of great baseball ambitions and who wouldn't take no for an answer. Bob Motley escaped the perilous grip of discrimination in the Jim Crow South and found himself on the battlefields of Japan where a mishap took him surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) to a place behind the battery and cemented into history forever. 

34 All American Girls Pt2 - The Post-War Years

Sean carries on telling Eds the exciting conclusion to the tale of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listen up to hear more about the hardships faced by the brave women of the league, their booming success through the post war years, and their eventual descent into relative obscurity, but most importantly how their time together on the diamond inspired them to make better lives for themselves. 

33 All American Girls - The War Years

Tune in as Sean tells the true story behind The All American Girls Professional Baseball League - most well known from the classic baseball movie "A League of Their Own.” It's the tale of an America on the brink of war. A time when women were forced to take on the task thought to be impossible at the time, replacing the men- at home, at work, and even on the ball field. Listen in to hear about the ludicrous rules imposed on these talented women, who despite some ill conceived notions of the patriarchy, rose to the occasion and entertained the masses.

32 One Million Little Pieces (of Candy)

Sean and Eds record remotely this time as the number of Covid-19 cases is on the rise. Sean listens through the power of the internet as Eds tells the tale of baseball's one millionth run scored, how 4 men had their chances to ink their name to the pages of oddball history and how the contest was decided by a foot race 2400 miles apart.

31 Chick Stahl

Sean switches things up at the last minute and has to tell the story of Chick Stahl, one of baseball's forgotten greats who seemingly at the height of success suddenly fell from grace in one of the most terrible ways imaginable. What surprised many at the time, should have been seen all along.

30 Lyman Bostock

Eds goes back to back once again from the fortified fortress of the Alliston studios to tell Sean the tale of a humble man who rose up against early criticism to become one of baseball's most highly touted prospects and sought after free agents, but ultimately whose generous nature brought him to the wrong place at the wrong time.

29 World Series 1904: Johnson vs McGraw

Eds gets back in the box with the story of the World Series' early days. The Series as we know it today was agreed upon in 1903, but not by Ban Johnson and John McGraw. Two of baseball's most powerful men at the time who were stern adversaries cost the fans of the game the fall classic in 1904 because of, well, reasons I guess. Tune In

28 Apes in The Outfield

Sean and Eds record remotely from the woods in McKellar, Ontario. Sean goes back to back once again with a story from recent baseball history. A story that tells how a rag tag team came together to give a fanbase a glimpse of glory for the first time in nearly two decades. Who then regressed slightly, but then were galvanized in surprising fashion, enough to beat the Giants and an otherworldly performance by Barry Bonds, who none could argue could've still won World Series MVP in a losing effort. 

27 Charles Finley

We said we'd do it and it's finally here. Listen up as Sean tells the ridiculous history that is the life of Charles Finley. A man who's renegade departure from Kansas City left a ripple effect across the major leagues, his building of a dynasty despite his hard headed ways that would derail a less lucky man. Tune In Now.
