## Resource

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark explore the career of one of the most efficient pitchers in baseball history: Addie Joss. Known for his "corkscrew" delivery and a career ERA that remains the second-lowest of all time, Joss's life was cut short at just 31. The hosts detail the incredible 1911 Addie Joss Benefit Game, which brought together icons like Ty Cobb (in a borrowed jersey), Walter Johnson, and Cy Young for a cause that predated the official MLB All-Star Game by over two decades.Before the history lesson, the BP segment covers the recent passing of Tigers legend Mickey Lolich, a strange trivia bit about Ozzy Smith’s fashion sense, and a look at Hall of Famers categorized by their home states. The episode concludes with a high-stakes round of Wax Pack Heroes, where Frank Robinson leads a 2003 Topps pack. 00:00 Intro: The Domingo Ramos Studio & "Ham Gravy" Origins02:15 Non-Baseball Fact: Olive Oil and the Usurping of Popeye04:30 BP Segment: Remembering Mickey Lolich (The Beer Drinker’s Idol)08:50 1987 Tops Trivia: Ozzy Smith, Best Casual Dresser?11:15 The "Other" Ozzy: Canseco’s Stint with the Cardinals14:40 Hall of Famers by State: New York vs. California19:20 WBC Woes: Insurance Issues and Javi Baez’s Suspension23:05 The Human Hairpin: The Dominance of Addie Joss38:40 Wax Pack Heroes: 2003 Topps Mega Pack Battle54:20 Wrapping Up: Mickey Lolich Deep Dive Tease Connect With UsYouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoiseTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoiseBlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.socialEmail: twostrikenoise@gmail.com Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!
