Episode Synopsis "A Different Kind of Specialty Player"

When it comes to Major League Baseball, there are a lot of specialty baseball players. You have pinch hitters, who will only come in to pinch-hit for the pitcher or guys who will spend the majority of their career catching baseballs in the bullpen. But have you ever heard of a stolen base specialist? Or a dugout character, whose only job is to hype up his team and help to enforce a positive, fun attitude throughout the locker room? We'll talk about these and the most recent developments in the 2021 MLB lockout, beginning December 2, on this episode of "Painting the Corners with Anton Schindler."
