  • Perfect for Beginners

    I just recently started getting into baseball and was looking for a podcast that would help me with learning the basics and fundamentals of the game. I am so happy to have come across this one. These three do a perfect job of covering everything you need to know as a beginner baseball fan. Now, I know exactly what areas of the game I want to dive deeper into learning and will be able to keep up with all the pros and their slang. Hoping they keep putting new episodes out!
