Join Jeff and Mark on Two Strike Noise as they discuss some unusual and fascinating baseball moments, including a mercy rule no-hitter in the Caribbean Series, Albert Pujols' knack for hitting home runs upon request, and a former big leaguer making the transition to professional pickle-ball player. The main segment this week looks at some notable last seasons of baseball players. Hear about the unfortunate fates of players like Thurman Munson, Jose Fernandez, and Ray Chapman, and why some names were cut from Jeff's new YouTube video of top 10 list of best final seasons in MLB history. Plus, a tough Wax Pack Heroes showdown featuring nostalgic baseball cards.
