In this episode, we interview Jack Lang, player for the Lafayette Aviators during the 2021 and 2022 Prospect League seasons. We talk about interacting with the fans, the time he struck out a future Tennessee Volunteer(!), and what’s next after an injury has ended his summer baseball season.

S1 E8 – First Half Wrap-up, Second Half Predictions
We give our thoughts on the first half of the 2022 Prospect League season, and who we think will join the four teams who have already qualified for the playoffs. We also talk about our favorite place to sit in the ballpark for a game, and Quenton remarks on the difference in average attendance between the two Ohio-based Prospect League Teams.
S1 E7 – Interview with Ryan Kearney (O’Fallon Hoots Broadcaster)
TECHNICAL ISSUE Due to user error on Michael’s part, there was a bad echo in Ryan’s part of the audio. We cleaned it up about the best we could, but we will look at re-recording this episode to get a higher quality version. It sounds like we were interviewing him through the stadium PA microphone -phone -phone….
We talk with Ryan Kearney, broadcaster with the O’Fallon Hoots, about his first season with the team, the differences between gameday operations for baseball and hockey, and the best places to get food in The Windy City!
Also, we pass along our deepest sympathies on the passing of Springfield Lucky Horseshoes and Lakeland College sophomore pitcher Lucas Otto, who tragically lost his life in an auto accident during the season.
S1 E6 – First Half Stretch Run, Our Favorite Fan-Participation Games, and DANG!
Who is making a late move to grab the first half title in their division, and an automatic spot in the playoffs? Also, we talk about league attendance, our favorite fan-participation games, and we give our best attempts at West Virginia Miners’ Coach Tim Epling’s trademark “Dang!” exclamation. Who does it better, Quenton or Michael??
S1 E5 – Halfway through the First Half, and Walkup Music
We are halfway through the first half of the season already! Who is leading each division? Who will hold on to win the first half, and who will falter? Also, we talk about what our walkup music would be, and Quenton lets Michael know what he thinks of his 80s-inspired choice! (Here’s a hint: Quenton is NOT a fan!)
