OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
What are the odds of a coin flip coming up heads 12 times in a row. Seriously, we're asking. Because we're not good at math. But it's pretty darn unlikely. So what are the chances of a team essentially doing that, getting 12 straight hits? Probably even less likely. But this week, 93 years ago, the Brooklyn Robins did just that too blow a game wide open against the Pirates. Mike and Bill go through the twelve hits and the players involved, marveling at the improbability of this group in particular setting this weird mark.
Plus, happy birthday to Jerry Reuss and Dickie Thon!

Mike an…
Editor's Note: Bill's audio goes crazy about two-thirds of the way into this episode. We have cleaned it up as much as we're able and apologize in advance.
