Infinite Inning 298: Mp-Wah-Pwah-Fwat Do Yez Mane
About this Episode
A 19th-century player is intentionally hit so many times he forces a crazy rules change, and then we consider one of the Negro Leagues greats in light of recent racist rumors about pets in danger.
The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven discusses the game’s present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they’ll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can’t get anybody out?
