À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Ever since his carefree days playing Little League Baseball, Ezekial Stanton has dreamed of becoming a Major League second baseman. The one thing that's kept him from achieving his dream is his inability to turn a double play. Always slipping, falling over, and eating shit before he could throw the ball to first. This inability led to opposing teams giving him an unfortunate nickname, "Butterfeet," that haunted him as he grew older and got more fucked up into adulthood. Now, 36 years old and stuck in Triple A, Ezekial faces pressure from his ex-wife to pay his back alimony and he fears she might come after his most prized possessions: his dragon figurines. Can Ezekial find a way to overcome the distractions and finally get past his butterfeet issues? Or will he fold under the pressure, give up his precious dragon figurines, and succumb to the life of a deadbeat, unloveable dirtbag?
Unearthed by a lovely old librarian, The Second Baseman Has Butterfeet audiobook is a fake unpublished sports chapter book for adults by Matt Christopher, the acclaimed author of dozens of iconic sports chapter books for kids. Books like The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, Tough To Tackle, and Catcher With A Glass Arm. Books that I, Ben Wietmarschen who made this podcast, loved reading as a child and thought, wouldn't it be funny if Matt Christopher wrote a sports book for adults that had sex, bathroom humor, and swears in it? I hope you enjoy!
