Episode 252 - Bob Thurman, Negro League Star, Is In How Many Hall of Fames?

from Two Strike Noise - A Baseball History Podcast · host twostrikenoise

This week continue our irrelevant trip through the goofy history of major league baseball. Steve Stone's crystal ball from 1992 seems like it might be a little off regarding Sammy Sosa, we try to put together a GoFundMe for a new, err old, Babe Ruth jersey and find out who did we get on one of our Field of Dreams whiskey. Our main segment is all about a player from the Negro Leagues and eventually big leagues we had not heard about before, Bob Thurman. He played well, all over and with some huge names. Wax Pack Heroes comes down to stirrups. So needless to say, we were both very happy about that, one more than the other, but still happy none the less. 00:57 Steve Stone's Sammy Sosa Prediction 03:22 Babe Ruth's Historic Jersey Auction 06:16 Wonder Woman and Pop Culture Auctions 09:06 Bullpen Carts and Mascot Cameos 12:17 Field of Dreams Whiskey Review 20:20 Negro League Legend: Bob Thurman 34:01 Wax Packs Heroes Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Threads - @twostrikenoise Twitter - @twostrikenoise YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
