Summary
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the Mets returning from injury and the latest trade deadline rumors, including the heartbreaking idea of a Francisco Lindor trade. We also pay tribute to Ron Hunt, who passed away last week at the age of 85. Next, we talk about the league putting profits over player safety as games were played amidst poor air quality and the league cracking down on using unauthorized artificial intelligence use on league-issued iPads. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
