ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Our so-well-named "Bill and a Bud" series continues with now a very familiar voice on this podcast, the great Steve Goldman (Baseball Prospectus, The Infinite Inning podcast). We talk about two Hall of Fame selectees from this week in history, Hack Wilson and Casey Stengel, and one weird game they have in common, plus the Players' League of 1890 and what the players and owners might learn from a thing that happened over 130 years ago. Also, happy birthday to (me and) Darryl Strawberry!

Mike an…
With Mike and Bill at the 2026 SABR convention this week, they're reaching into the past to pull out one of their favorite SABR memories, when they got to speak to the great Mike Veeck, with their good friend, Mike Duncan.
