38 - Pirates First Basemen

Baseball Beyond Batting Average

Your favorite baseball podcast hosts return with another installment in their team/position series, this time exploring every nook and cranny of Pirates first basemen. Find out who the statistical leaders are, who Mark and Andy rank as their top 5 all-time, and some fun and interesting side nuggets along the way. While Stargell and Bream figure prominently in the conversation, detours are taken into Wham!-style Dylan covers, "pre-humidor Billings" rookie ball in 1978, and what to call Jose Rijo's 2001-02 comeback tour with the Reds. An episode wouldn't be complete without an intense match of Roll The Stat, and this one is no different, as Mark and Andy engage in a particularly close round based on WPA. Play along and be the winner you always knew you could be.
