  • Meh

    Great idea for the podcast. Will struggle thru it but the main host is brutal. From the mispronunciation of name after name to his annoying voice, it’s tough.

  • Wonderful

    Great job, Geoffrey and Lucas. Was looking for a “baseball history” podcast and stumbled on to yours. I’m about 20 episodes in and EVERYTHING about these are perfect. It’s peaceful and erudite and so wonderfully encapsulated. I’ve long been a World Series geek and you guys perfectly captured the joy of October Baseball. Kudos and keep them coming. I’ve already spread the word to my fantasy baseball brethren. They all love it, too.
