Join Jeff and Mark on Two Strike Noise as they discuss some unusual and fascinating baseball moments, including a mercy rule no-hitter in the Caribbean Series, Albert Pujols' knack for hitting home runs upon request, and a former big leaguer making the transition to professional pickle-ball player. The main segment this week looks at some notable last seasons of baseball players. Hear about the unfortunate fates of players like Thurman Munson, Jose Fernandez, and Ray Chapman, and why some names were cut from Jeff's new YouTube video of top 10 list of best final seasons in MLB history. Plus, a tough Wax Pack Heroes showdown featuring nostalgic baseball cards. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:29 Spring Training and International Baseball 01:24 Caribbean Series Highlights 03:49 Albert Pujols and Seinfeld 05:33 Hall of Fame Voting Controversies 07:11 JD Martinez and Pickleball 08:55 Ruben Sierra's Unique Record 10:54 Longest Name Streaks in MLB 20:36 Tragic Baseball Stories 35:11 Wax Pack Heroes 01:09:43 Wrapping Up: Wax Packs Heroes and Closing Remarks Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Threads - @twostrikenoise Twitter - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
