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.

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

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. And while there are similarities between every player's pain, such as bruising and soreness, not everyone's hockey problems are the same. One player in College Park, MD dares to tell his trials and tribulations of being a black Christian hockey player. That player is me, Claude "Food Pockets" Williams, and this is my Ball Hockey Blues.
