  • St. Louis Browns
    Jul 25 2024

    This Franchise History Series episode is about the St. Louis Browns who played in the American League from 1902 to 1953. We covered them in our now discontinued Throwback Thursday Cap of the Day Series, which is currently our most popular episode on YouTube. Instead of expanding and recutting the episode, like we've been doing with other episodes in that series, we decided to rerecord an audio version to upload as a podcast, with a few minor changes.
