NERD! Ep 47: Little Big League (1994)

About this episode

Dre Alvarez and Jeff May discuss the 1994 baseball movie Little Big League as part of their MYSTERY season.

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff begin their MYSTERY season with the 1994 kids(?) baseball movie Little Big League! There's a lot to unpack about one of baseball's most faithful adaptations, so let's name drop some steroid-freaks, get some nice product placement going, and be made for pretty much nobody as we dive into the first episode of our MYSTERY SEASON. And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, check out Patreon.com/jeffmay for early access and exclusive shows, and have a nerdy day!
