Episode Synopsis

This week we're replaying some of our favorite episodes about the old ball game. In this episode from October 2021, we remember the iconic World Series moment when Carlton Fisk waved his game-winning home run fair. The legendary clip was caught by the camera kind of by accident. Plus: a couple in the UK gets a ticket because a traffic camera caught their car driving in the bus-only lane, except that they weren't in the bus-only lane. Or in a car. Or in that city.
