It’s Red Sox week with our PhD Committee preparing for our Boston Red Sox podcast which will be released on Friday, July 1st. Ed Kasputis will be interviewing Dave Brown from BigLeagueStew.com and Matt Kory from overthemonster.com as we learn more about those Red Sox and their beautiful legacy park.
Did you know that The Famous San Diego Chicken has never played Fenway? It’s hard to believe but true. We learned this fact during our special edition podcast, Episode 51. Fenway is the only major league ball park that has eluded baseball’s greatest mascot. When will this injustice be corrected?
