Short Hops & Tall Tales —
Brandon and Noah are back (and now on Saturdays!) with a brand new episode featuring an old pitching soul, the talented fireballer Roy Oswalt! Find out why we call him a pitcher out of time, and why he feels like he should be from 1920. Then, an actual story from that time period, as Brandon recounts the rise and fall of the spitball in Major League Baseball. Yuck! PLUS: Noah has a run-in with Mookie Betts??
