It’s like if the San Diego Chicken and the Philly Fanatic had a baby that was raised by Max Patkin.

From hitting .367 as a catcher, to Casey Stengel roasting his pitch-calling, to being nicknamed “The Grounded Blimp” after refusing to fly, Phelps collected as many roommate stories as base hits. Along the way, we meet a young Pee Wee Reese moving hotel furniture in his sleep, Tom Zachary hiding wallets on the floor, and even Babe Ruth bunking with Phelps on the road.The episode wraps up with another round of Wax Pack Heroes, tearing open some cardboard to see which stars and oddballs pop out this week. 00:00 Introduction and Banter01:13 Upcoming Milestone Episode01:52 Yankees Old Timers Game04:21 Jen Powel08:08 Fernando Rodney's New Chapter10:52 Baseball Players and Pokemon Cards13:51 Babe Phelps: The Forgotten Babe27:36 Wax Pack Heroes48:16 Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up 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.
