As promised last week, we look at Honus Wagner’s pitching career (what?), Don Mattingly roasts Paul O’Neill on the air, we look at next year’s MLB Hall of Fame probables, talk last names and ofcourse talk baseball debuts. Our main story this week is about a Negro League and Major League Baseball legend we are embarrassed to admit we had never even heard of, Lucius Luke Easter. He was a giant man who swung a giant bat and hit monster home runs. His career was derailed by injuries and prejudice. He was loved wherever he played and met a tragic end while standing up for his friends. We’re proud to tell his story this week. Wax Pack Heroes wraps up the show with some Fleer and Donruss baseball cards to remember. Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.
