A card(or two or sometimes three) a week, every week, forever. Or at least until they finish the whole set. This podcast tells the story of each player, adding in other historical notes, music, humor, mascot chat, and other random silliness. If you are a fan of 80s baseball they will talk about your favorite player, no matter how obscure!
