Episode 225 - Steve Bilko, the Hollywood Hulk

Back at it again for another week of baseball history fun. We have improved the Immaculate Grid, now somebody just needs to listen to us, Jose Oquendo has entered chat, we review a Bill Murray SNL skit with last week’s guest in it and we return to our roots with a Gabby Hartnett story. Our main segment this week is all about Steve Bilko. The LA icon who was so popular he had a tv character named after him. But his impressive PCL numbers and Hollywood fans couldn’t earn him consistent playing time in the big leagues. But his drinking and home runs are still legendary to this day. Wax Pack Heroes is back and we pull a Rickey Henderson card, but will it help or hurt?  Did you read these show notes? Let us know and we will give you a baseball nickname on the next show. Don’t forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.  SNL Skit w/Bill Murray & Ricky Hill - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKjn2zQsqA&ab_channel=reallyneed2know Jeff on Next Scene Podcast talking about The Music Man - https://nextscenepod.com/podcast/labor-day-2023-the-music-man/   Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Threads - @twostrikenoise Twitter - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
