Ep. 87 - Keep your Philandering Discrete and Other Life Lessons from the Show

from Hooks & Runs · host A podcast about baseball, music and culture.

We did not know what we were getting into when we decided to do a segment on the least valuable careers for MLB Rookie of the Year winners. There are some interesting tales here involving players drafted in other sports, barroom brawlers, errant shaving cream pies, drunken horseplay, hit songs, indiscreet philandering and in some cases, really bad luck. But hey, no matter what happens after, winning the Rookie of the Year Award is something special and they can't take that away. Also, our take on Super Bowl LVI's halftime show.Here is that regional hit single, "Go Joe Charboneau." Bob Hamelin's baseball card is so bad Josh Levin wrote an essay about it at Slate.com. We ranked our best and worst Super Bowl halftime performances in our Episode 50.Check It Out:Andrew: Frank Turner's new album, "FTHC" has hit the streets.Rex: Saxon released their 24th album, "Carpe Diem," earlier this month.Craig: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder released his first solo album since 2011, "Earthling," last week.Errata: Walt Dropo's hometown is Moosup CT; Dropo was drafted by the BAA's (pre-cursor to the NBA) Providence Steamrollers in 1947, not the mid-1950's; Chris Coghlan hit .372 in the second half of the 2009 season.
