Sean and Eds Do Baseball

72 Gabby Street’s Monumental Catch

Sean spins one down the middle with the life of Charles "Gabby" Street.Street had a fairly underwhelming career as an understudy back-stop but one day in 1908 he made a huge catch - just not on the diamond.

71 David Clyde

Sean delivers a heater with the story of the Rangers relocation and the high school phenom who saved the franchise at the cost of his own career.

70 Mal Fichman

Eds returns from Vietnam and eases back into things with a bit of a bullpen session as he tells Sean the story of Minor League Master of disguise Mal Fichman; who rose from humble beginnings as a manager of independent clubs to oddball baseball history fame for getting tossed from a game in the 80's and the scheme he carried out in pursuit of victory.

69 Eric Show: Part Two

Sean makes a quality start and goes from the stretch with part two of the tale recounting the life Eric Show. Later in his career Show continues to shove on the mound but still struggles to deal with his past and his performance. After a terrible brawl in Chicago and a nagging back injury things quickly go awry and thusly downhill in a hurry.

68 Eric Show: Part One

In Part One of back to back outings Sean takes the mound and tells the story of Eric Show's abusive upbringing and his rise from motorcycle riding rebel to born again Christian Ace of the San Diego Padres. His actions weren't without controversy and we learn about the origins of a conspiratorial right wing group that got Eric Show into hot water.

67 John Bender

Eds toes the rubber and tells Sean the story of John Bender, a man who was much less famous but infinitely more infamous than his hall of famer brother Charles. Early on in his career John showed promise just like his brother but an altercation on a steamboat ultimately turned the tide for the troubled batsman.

66 Pearce Chiles

Pearce Chiles was not a good person! In fact he is probably a person we should have long forgotten had he not played a role in baseball's first electronic sign stealing scandal.

65 Moe Berg

Eds heads back out to the hill and pours one in; and for the first time it's one that Sean has heard of before but not with such insight into the life of Morris, possibly Moses Berg. A man who not only managed to hang on in the majors for an extra ten years because of one day that changed the course of his career, but also a man whose later exploits changed the course of history altogether. 

64 The Chalmers Race

Sean holds the rosin bag in this episode and tell Eds of the 1910 season. America watched as two future Hall of Famers duked it out for the batting title and more importantly; for the keys to a brand new Chalmers Model 30 Automobile. This trailblazing idea should have been an innocent promotion but instead it turned into one of baseball's biggest scandals.

63 Rock n Roll Softball: Eagles vs Rolling Stone

This time its Levon, Sean and Eds Do Baseball as friend of the show, multi-talented musician and baseball fan Spencer Levon joins the fold to do some baseball. Eds tells the tale of the Eagles and their friendly however feisty relationship with Rolling Stone magazine that resulted in the greatest ego driven matchup Los Angeles would ever see.
