EPISODE SUMMARY
In 1978, Bucky Dent hit a three run home run. He was the most unlikely to hit one.
In 1968, Bob Gibson had 17 strikeouts to set a World Series record.
And in 1995, the Chicago Bulls traded for Dennis Rodman ... and Jack Haley. Haley may have been the key piece to the entire trade.

Stirling Soap Script - Maybe you should
This episode is brought to by Stirling Soap Company. How often do you think about your soap? Well, if you answered, ‘not much’ maybe you should. You see, a lot of what passes for “soap” in stores is technically not soap according to the FDA's definition. It’s full of lab created chemicals and detergents because it's cheaper to make. Now, what if you could buy natural soap made from natural ingredients like tallow, palm oil, coconut oil and scented with essential oils and for just a little more than you’d pay for grocery store soap? Stirling Soap is 100 percent natural and with a wide variety of bath soaps, shave soaps, beard balm, lotions, and cologne there’s a product and a scent for just about everybody. Check ‘em out for yourself at StirlingSoap.com. That’s S-T-I-R-L-I-N-G Soap dot com.
