Episode 263 - The Pine Tar Game Before The Pine Tar Game

Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, hosts Jeff and Mark recount yet another new & unique way the Mariners can lose a game, discover some baseball players with famous relatives and revisit initial thoughts about some newer rules of the game. The main segment this week tells the story of the Yankees game derailed because of the use of a bat with illegal amounts of pine tar, and it had nothing to do with George Brett! Wax Pack Heroes involves some themed baseball cards sent in by a listener.
