Joe's away so the tin foil hats came out to play!
Join us for a fun new episode of High Cheese, where we dive headfirst into the world of baseball conspiracy theories. We're joined by friend of the pod Nate L.
We talk about Nate's history with the game as a kid, but the real thrill begins when we explore some wild conspiracy theories about America's pastime.
First up, we delve into some Cal Ripken conspiracy theories. Did Cal Ripken Jr. really play 2,632 consecutive games, or was there something more mysterious at play?
We then talk about Baseball labor strikes and conspiracies about MLB hating Canadian teams winning.
And of course, we can't forget the "Aaron Judge Juiced Balls" theory that emerged in 2022. Did this alleged tampering with baseballs give an unfair advantage to the slugger?
Throughout the episode we'll decide the believability of these conspiracy theories. We'll examine the evidence, explore alternative perspectives, and maybe even come up with a few conspiracy theories of our own!
We also do a guest Womack report (don't mind the weird audio edit) and have a brief aside about music history and hip hop production.
So, grab your favorite baseball cap and join us for our discussion, as we tackle some of the secrets and speculations lurking beneath the surface of Major League Baseball.
