Episode 235 - Leron and Leon Go to Japan

Attention Costco shoppers, we found a great deal on a baseball card, but you need to be a member to save! We review the year in Immaculate Grid, check out celebrity weddings (trust us it has a baseball angle), preview a baseball music festival, talk expensive players and announcers strange diets. If that’s not enough, this week we learn about brothers Leron and Leon Lee. They both played in the US but found their calling in the NPB. Hitting for power and average, they dominated the league for the decade they played. Embracing the culture, they were fan favorites but the league and ownership couldn’t get past the fact that they were not Japanese. Despite adversity, they persevered and ended up in the record books. Finally, in this week’s Wax Pack Heroes we come across something that has never happened before. Will it be enough for a victory to the lucky player though? And don’t forget to fill out the 2SN HOF ballot. Your vote could be the difference between Brandon Phillips getting into the HOF or not!
