  • A great podcast about the history of MiLB baseball teams

    Kelly does a lot of research for each episode of the Minor League Nerd. On each episode he covers the history of a different minor league team. There are a ton of crazy twists and turns with quite a few baseball teams of the past. If you are at all interested in baseball, and or history definitely give this podcast a listen.
