Tim Hagerty is the play-by-play announcer for the El Paso Chihuahuas (Padress AAA affiliate), the author of a book titled, "Root for the Home Team," and a correspondent for The Sporting News specializing in unusual tales from minor league baseball's colorful past.In Episode 5 of the "Life Around the Seams" podcast, it's not an interview. It's just two baseball nerds talking baseball history -- unusual stories that you can't believe are true, and stories that you thought you knew but didn't completely know.
We learn about a very dangerous foul ball, the earliest attempts to speed up baseball, how to play a game when the infield is saturated, why the Detroit Tigers didn't want to tag out a baserunner one day, what happens when a ball is split in half, and when did Pete Rose actually break the all-time hits record.
