Meet your host

I'm Eric!

I'm a big fan of baseball and I want to share that love! I'm a hat collector, a stadium list checker-off-er, and I love hearing stories from the edges of the baseball universe. I will talk to interesting guests about the cultures different fanbases have that make their gamedays special. I want to talk about logos and uniforms, old and new stadiums, touches of history and little stories of locals might know but might surprise and intrigue you. Come along for a ride as we dive into these things that make baseball so much fun!

The History of Great Uniforms

How did these ever go? And one below should never have happened. And yes, I have that hat!

Green and gold, maroon pinstripes, the infamous “e”, and the rainbow. Looks that still turn heads at the ballpark.
