Mountain State CardboardEpisode 6: Wakanda ForeverDisclaimer: This week's episode takes on a serious tone. However, if you make it through I think you'll enjoy it.
In this week's episode I use the NBA work-stoppage and the death of Chadwick Boseman as a jumping off point to discuss race in America. I tie it back to the hobby by sharing some pieces from my collection of first cards of the players who integrated each Major League team. I talk specifically about four men: Hank Thompson, Bob Trice, Ossie Virgil Sr. and Pumpsie Green.

Milwaukee's Tailgate Brewers PodcastEpisode 142 | A Cream Suit and a Pink Button Down ShirtThe MLBPA finally had enough of the owners stall tactics this week and just told the commissioner to tell them where and when to show up to start the season. We talked all about that, whether most owners even like baseball or if it's just an investment, and just how badly did MLB screw up back in March.

TortureCast (SF Giants Podcast)Episode #194: Baseball in San Francisco...in July?Do we think this is likely? Not really. But, that is the latest bit of news coming out of the baseball world. Last week, MLB owners sent the players association a proposal that would start an 82 game season in July. Some of the main points of how the season would work include the DH for the NL, an expanded 14-team playoff, games restricted to mainly geographic opponents to reduce travel, and a myriad of COVID-19 related guidelines for on-field play (no spitting, chewing tobacco, fist bumps, etc.). They also proposed a 50/50 revenue split with the players, but that would result...
