Mr. Baseball

This week on Mr. Baseball, hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get traded to the Chunichi Dragons of the Central League of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League, much like how Tom Selleck got traded to the Dragons in the 1992 baseball romp – MR. BASEBALL!

MR. BASEBALL (1992): A professional American baseball player whose career is on the wane, Jack Elliot (Tom Selleck) gets traded to the Dragons, a Japanese team. Openly unhappy about the change, Elliott isn't eager to adapt to a new culture and proceeds to get on the bad side of his teammates, including one other American, Max "Hammer" Dubois (Dennis Haysbert). Eventually, Elliott decides to make a real effort, attempting to improve his game and his attitude, but will it be enough to help lead his team to victory?

You asked for it, and we shall deliver. Our namesake finally makes its debut on the podcast. We'll be throwing strikes at the goofs, fouling off all the gaffs, and swinging away at the blunders of this 30-Year-Old timeless fish out of water tale.

It's time to play ball!
