Softball Diaries 85: Spencer's Gifts

This week on the pod we have non-rookie Spencer. Spencer has been 'in' on the SD scene for a few years, played in more than a few games, and even full on lives in Philly now. Get to know the Santabarbaraite along with us: is he pro boat, will he remember his pet chameleon's name, and which professional baseball player did he suit up with in high school? Also the romantic beginnings of Alli & Spencer. And TWO game recaps! Remember Alf? He's back... in podcast form!

Softball Diaries 84: Tech Taylor Out

Summer is not over until we play softball, tie, and podcast about it. We do our first in-person podcast since 2019, with Taylor Engel stopping by Homebase Studios. Highlights: childhood trauma (oops), the kindness of Cione's staff-(ass), Kleger being wrong (often). Learn about Taylor going to prom, her management principles, and IF she would live on a boat. HPlease take a listen!

Softball Diaries 83: Evan Kassof's Soap Opera

Evan gets paid to produce drama, yet still finds time to create and distribute a lot of it outside of working hours. Today we have the equivalent of a one-man show, presented in a single (double-length) act. We pull the curtain up on the mysterious Professor (is this true? I'm going with it) Kassof. You'll get more than you ever thought possible on this 'sneaky fast' rag-tagger. We also recap the second half of the 2020 season (aka Game 2). Annnd this was our first fully remote show, so let us know if it worked (thanks @todd for operational expertise). Aria not entertained?

Softball Diaries 82: The Softball Must Flow

Welcome to the softball bubble! We quarantined all players, friends, families, and pets at the old Holiday Inn for the first game of the year. It was a glorious return to form—rust, warts, false-ties and all. Naturally the podcast comes next. Listen for updates on all the important players, a recap of 2020's game of the year, AND a special segment where we celebrate 100 years of softball with Buco and Klego's all-time rosters! Did you test positive... for sports?

Softball Diaries 81: Safe at Home

Are you quarantining, with nothing to do? Missing better times? Missing softball too? Well we did the next best thing: EMERGENCY POD! Listen as the SD personalities semi-officially announce their semi-formal takes on big bad corona and how it may or may not affect the upcoming season. Truly we just needed something to do. Eventually I think we did a stock market segment too. Sanitize your bat and balls.

Softball Diaries 80: Like a Big Awards Show, That's Okumura

Let us gather round and close the stat book on another season. Here we go: a sprawling double episode which ends our ambitious two show award show arc! Congrats to all the winners, listen to hear your name, you probably got something! More importantly we have our Rookie of the Year (spoilers!), Alex Okumura, in the 'interview of the year' . This is the one we all wanted, and it is here just in time for your end of holiday travel. Hope someone got some bats under the tree!
