Bobby Bonilla!
On this week’s show Baseball Scotland Hall of Famer Jason Derr (dugoutclassics.com) and Glasgow Comets Outfielder John McKellar are joined by a very special guest in Graeme Nelson, a fixture of early-2000s Scottish baseball for a wide-ranging chat about his time on the field, how he briefly - inadvertently - made Scottish baseball mainstream news, possible future plans and more. The hosts test each other’s loyalty to their respective favourite MLB clubs with a quiz and even rope their guest into the action. All that, and the guys chat their participation in the First Annual Bump Bailey Wax Pack Heroes Tournament of Awesome hosted by the great people over at Two Strike Noise (https://twostrikenoise.podbean.com) where one man, one legend saw them through the opening round in historic fashion.
