The Mysterious and Unbelievable Case of the Batboy and the Hot Dogs
Josh Durham and Ashley Pace
Best friends Josh Durham and Ashley Pace worked for a rookie league baseball team in Burlington, North Carolina in the summer of 1990. Josh had just graduated high school, and Ashley was a rising senior. They were some of the greatest jobs the two have ever had, but for the last thirty years they've been haunted by this question: Did Ashley, the team's batboy, cost one player his professional baseball career by getting food for him before a game?In this podcast, the two best friends take a trip down memory lane with players and staff from that great Burlington team. And great is an understatement. Estimates show that only one minor-leaguer out of ten will make it to the majors. For the ballplayers arriving in Burlington that summer, that means three of them might make it. From the 1990 Burlington Indians, though, seven did.

Ball Hockey Blues: The Hells of a Black Christian Hockey Player
Claude Williams
Ball hockey. One of the largest fringe sports in the world. Played in 39 countries, everyone who loves and plays this sport has made this part of their lives, for better or for worse.

Mighty Roman Shorts
The Mighty Roman is a baseball book for today, a funny, freewheeling novel about modern American manhood. It’s a modern Mutiny On The Bounty with baseball bats and pranks. Our Captain Bligh is Roman Meister, a blustery, insecure giant who manages an independent-league baseball team near the California-Mexico border. Commanding but confused, endearing but scary, Roman pushes his multicultural young players to win the championship he needs to advance in pro ball--and validate his very existence, it seems. Roman reveres the fading America of Ted Williams, struggles with the burden of inherited prejudices, and lives in terror of disappointing his ex-marine father. He is equally apt to straighten the pillow beneath a sleeping player's head or brutally bludgeon a still-breathing fish.Our Fletcher Christian is Rex Hirsch, an elfin eighteen year-old from Venice Beach who plays baseball with joyful abandon. He's a Hacky-Sacking free spirit with a taste for anarchy who loves animals, plays
