Peanuts & Cracker Jacks: A Baseball Podcast

Bat, Ball, and Glove

Chris & Naseema talk about the Cubs putting up some W's thanks to guys like Javy and Both, and all the injuries on the Yankees and how they managed to still be in second place.  But mostly, this show is about Mo, the Sandman, Mariano Rivera. The first person to unanimously be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was his cutter, his enigma, his presence, the whole package made the Yankees say for nearly 20 years: gotta go to Mo. 

Episode 7: Mostly Mo

Chris & Naseema talk the start of the baseball season, as always the Yankees and the Cubs. But the record breaking contracts were the biggest talk of the offseason. Are giant contracts like Mike Trout's, Bryce Harper's and Manny Machado's good for baseball? No, but also yes, but maybe no. It's hard. Listen in and find out. 

Episode 6: Get That Bread

Naseema and Chris talk about the state of the Yankees and Cubs in a brief update, then some of the changes that have taken place over the past few years and why it took so long to make them.  See if you can tell where we edited out f-bombs!

Episode 5 - Don't Break a Leg Out There

Last time Naseema and Chris talked about some of their favorite baseball movies, but wanted to take the time out to dive deep into the important No-No: A Dockumentary about the late great Dock Ellis. Famous for his LSD no-hitter, they take a look at Dock's legacy elsewhere in the sport. At the top of the spot, Naseema and Chris talk about the first week of the 2018 regular season. 

Episode 4: Dock Ellis Beyond The No-No

They are a husband and wife team who just really, really wanted to start a baseball podcast. He loves the Yankees, and she loves the Cubs, but really they just love each other. Each podcast they will talk about a new subject, maybe some news, but never ever will they get into the weeds with stats.
