Episode 323 - The Baseball Records Guinness Recognizes, Ignores, And Probably Regrets

A catcher catches a baseball dropped from a blimp and ruins his face in the process, and Jeff and Mark draft baseball players named after months, days, and holidays. Also: the answer to last week's puzzle — how many hits can a team get in one inning without scoring a run?

Also in this episode: A Rickey Henderson story from spring training with the Padres. The universal DH debate. The last time a pitcher stole a base in the American League. Zack Hample straps on a chest protector and tries to break an 80-year-old record. Johnny Bench holds baseballs and Blue-Emu has opinions about it. And Wax Pack Heroes returns with 1972 Topps.
