In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff is joined by special guest David McEllis from the 1988 Topps podcast. With co-host Mark on a rehab assignment, they dive into the 1987 MLB season, known for its unusually high home run rates due to the 'rabbit ball.' They discuss significant events, standout players, and surprising stats from that year, including Paul Molitor's 39-game hitting streak, the Brewers' 13-0 start, and the hard-fought AL East pennant race. They also cover MVP and Cy Young awards, rookies of the year, and the subsequent postseason. Listeners are encouraged to engage with a giveaway contest for an autographed Dave Stewart jersey by answering questions from both podcasts.
