We’ll walk through all the iterations and arguments for and against the designated hitter this week as well as touch on baseball player home security, Storm Davis’ origin story, the 1976 A’s literally running a mile ahead of the Twins and Wax Pack Heroes with some 1987 & 1990 Fleer cards.  Bob Newhart baseball bit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5anAHCvl0v0&ab_channel=BobNewhart-Topic Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Hear more of Two Strike Noise on the HotMic app. Use Invite code TWOSTRIKENOISE to download it for FREE at http://hotmic.io We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
