## Resource

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark dive into a variety of engaging topics. They kick off by discussing baseball players who stand out due to their 6,7 height. Jeff quizzes listeners on Chicago White Sox mascot Southpaw's weight in baseballs. They transition to humorous Pantone color discussions and a potential new curse linked to Colonel Sanders. The hosts reminisce about various '80s baseball movies and reveal Frank Pastor and John Bernardino's surprising careers post-baseball. Wrapping up, they play Wax Pack Heroes with a focus on 1990 Donruss cards, including notable players like Tim Wallach and Jim Abbott. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:20 Richie Sexton Studio and Tall Players02:14 Trivia Time: South Paw's Weight03:14 World Series and Pantone Colors04:17 Colonel Sanders and a New Baseball Curse?05:24 Bull Durham: The Musical07:45 Lou Gehrig's Historic Jersey09:38 Seinfeld and Baseball Cards12:22 Players with Successful Post-Baseball Careers30:31 Wax Pack Heroes: Baseball Card Game44:42 Wrapping Up and Listener Engagement YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoiseTwitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoiseBluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.socialFacebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/Instagram - @twostrikenoiseE-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
