About this episode

The episode honors major leaguers who served in the military while discussing recent baseball achievements and historical events.

Memorial Day is today, and we thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can continue to live in a free country. We’re grateful beyond words. So many major leaguers have put their lives on the line to serve our great country, and we talk about some of the best during today’s episode. And don’t forget to wait for Team Tim! Konnor Griffin has clearly figured something out in his 20s — you love to see it. Plus, Christopher Sánchez is doing something for the Phillies that hasn’t been done since before World War I. And Trey Yesavage? Yeah… you’re not homering off him. There were strikeouts everywhere, including a pair of Yankees teammates who might be swapping places in the record books. Nolan Arenado did something amazing on just the sixth pitch of the entire game. Plus, what in the world is going on with Tatis Jr.? On This Date in Baseball History, we talk Omar Vizquel, Josh Beckett, Joe West, and Chris Young. We also hear about Tim’s homemade jersey for which player? Thanks for listening, and as always, we appreciate you being part of our family. Subscribe or follow wherever you watch or listen, and make sure to share…
