In this episode, John and Leroy return to the Baseball Terminology series with five words from Paul Dickson's The Baseball Dictionary, looking into intriguing terms like Pine Tar, which revisits the infamous 1983 incident when George Brett's game-winning home run was nullified due to excessive pine tar on his bat, stirring controversy and debate about rules and fairness in the game. They also explore the Baltimore Chop, a unique batting technique known for its bouncing nature, and the Immaculate Inning, a rare feat where a pitcher strikes out all three batters in an inning. With a couple more terms thrown into the mix, this discussion promises to deepen fans' understanding of baseball's rich lexicon.
