It's another Tales From the Dugout episode, and this one's got range: an 1886 outfielder attacked by a dog mid-play who later invented the rain tarp, Ernest Hemingway getting thoroughly beaten up by a Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher during a drunken boxing match at his own house, a "record" of eight stolen bases in a single inning that almost certainly wasn't real, and a top closer who retired from baseball to become an real-life Indiana Jones. Jeff and Mark also dig into two different ballplayers born at sea, Hoyt Wilhelm's remarkable career path, and a wild home run record set in an independent Canadian league played in a public park with no admission gate.
Also in this episode: the guys react to Ted Lasso's new season writing the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum into the show, another round of the This Week in Baseball quiz segment, and a Wax Pack Heroes battle using user submitted 1987 Sportflics cards.
