For the first time, the guys welcome a Special Guest into the podcast for Episode 22!  And what a guest they got!  Former Angels Vice President of Communications, Tim Mead!  Tim started with the team in 1980 as intern and worked with the team until 2019 when he was named the 7th President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.  The stories he has to share are endless!  In this episode they talk about: Trout, Ohtani, Pujols, Salmon, Anderson, Abbott, Spiezio, (deep breath), Landston, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Rush, Bruce Hornsby, Zakk Wylde, Kevin Costner, Tom Selleck (deep breath), retiring numbers, the Hall of Fame, communications in the age of social media and soooo much more!  This is a must listen to episode! 

Jake and Jordan break down everything you need to know about the AL West heading into the 2023 season. They analyze team changes, and ask the biggest questions surrounding every team, including whether there is anything for A’s fans to get excited about whatsoever, “are the Angels the team under the most pressure this season”, and “what does Julio Rodriguez need to do to win the MVP?” Plus, Kennedi Landry from MLB.com pops by to chat about the Rangers and the return to baseball for Bruce Bochy.

The Rally Monkey was officially created on June 6, 2000, in a game against the Giants at Angel Stadium. Video board operators Dean Fraulino and Jaysen Humes had no clue how big it would eventually become for the organization.

Jim Abbott shares his experience at Michigan, what drove him to Ann Arbor and his dream of wearing the maize and blue. He also highlights some of his greatest memories of winning a gold medal, throwing a no-hitter for the New York Yankees and what he misses about playing baseball. He starts by talking about the legacy of the Abbott family and their legacy with Michigan Athletics.

This week, we check out a nearly forgotten baseball player, who was once the catalyst behind a team that went to the World Series, but just a few short years later, he was out of the sport, all together. Why? Cocaine, and plenty of it. Also, he had quite the attitude, causing fights with everyone from friends, to teammates, to his team's manager. His post-baseball life was sad one, complete with a penthouse apartment, specifically for shooting heroin. This is a wild tale!

Live your childhood sports dream, choke your team's manager, and do every drug you can get you hands on, in any way you can with Alan Wiggins!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

This week, we dive deep into the story of a man who a mediocre talent, but had a penchant for lying, and scamming that knew no bounds. He started life with everything, and went to school with movie stars, but that didn't stop him from ending up in some of the lowest situations a person could find themselves. He was both a common drug dealer, and an international counterfeiter. Born with a silver spoon, he went from playing catch on the beach with Sandy Koufax, to being a gun toting guy, with an attitude problem that got him pushed out of major league baseball, then wanted by federal, state, and international authorities. A real peach of a fella.Sell a mountain of cocaine to a police officer, be the most hated man in the world of sneakers, and bribe your way out of a North African prison with Byron McLaughlin!!Check us out, every Tuesday.
