  • Dugout of History 12: Yankee Wife Swap

    Dugout of History 12: Yankee Wife Swap
    Jul 31 2024
    Chrystal and Colleen go back to 1973, when Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich announced a one-of-a-kind trade in baseball history: their wives. Unlike the deals at the trade deadline, no advanced analytics are necessary to figure out whether Susanne or Marilyn wound up with the better deal.

  • Dugout of History 11: The Big Red Menace

    Dugout of History 11: The Big Red Menace

Schott’s praise for Hitler and use of the N-word are why her legacy remains toxic today, making her the benchmark for terrible sports owners.

    Chrystal and Colleen bring you tales of the short-lived Senior Professional Baseball Association, the "Boys of Winter" who played in Florida from 1989-90 with such teams as the Orlando Juice, Bradenton Explorers, and Fort Myers Sun Sox. The even had a baseball card set, but the league for pros over the age of 35 (and slightly younger catchers) didn't catch on. It was a fun idea, so why didn't it catch on? Well, that's why we're here...
