“Has the most boring narrator EVER! Sounds...like...he's...reading...the...phone...book. He has no excitement or enthusiasm in his voice! Baseball is supposed to be fun and exciting,not like you're at a funeral.. You need to drink a gallon of coffee b4 your next podcast. LIVEN UP!!!!”

“Bob Wright's 'Baseball History Podcast' is Hall of Fame material. He keeps it relatively short, 20 minutes or less, and is as regular as clockwork. the content is INCREDIBLE. Bob focuses on a single player in each episode and gives enough material to educate the casual fan while keeping the...”Read full review »

“Why it has taken me so long to write a review i have no idea! This is an excellently constructed podcast with a concise, detailed biography of a significant player from the annuls of baseball history. Also there is an interpretation of a baseball term and sometimes a short write up on a stadium. ...”Read full review »
