Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter in regards to the abrupt finish of Kim Ng’s tenure as the final supervisor of the Miami Marlins, Alyssa Nakken interviewing for the Giants’ supervisor job, the Rangers taking a 2-0 lead on the Astros within the ALCS, and the brand new Netflix documentary The Saint of Second Probabilities. Then (48:12) Ben talks to the documentary’s topic, baseball maverick Mike Veeck, about why he wished to inform his up-and-down-and-up story, his legendary dad, Corridor of Famer Invoice Veeck, and the colourful Veeck clan, Disco Demolition Evening, the origins of contemporary impartial baseball, Darryl Strawberry’s season with the St. Paul Saints, the key to an ideal baseball promotion, the Savannah Bananas, whether or not MLB might ever have a Veeck-ian proprietor once more, MLB’s management (and contraction) of the minor leagues, and extra.
