Listen "TBG15 - Rookie of the Year"
Episode Synopsis
Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1993 film, "Rookie of the Year," in which young Henry Rowengartner's broken arm heals in such a way that he can now throw a blazing fastball. Ellen lists all of the reasons why the Chicago Cubs clearly have no other relief pitchers, while Eric comes up with either the best or worst little league team name. Scoring this film on the 20-80 scouting scale includes discussion of Daniel Stern's extra-zany performance, Scott White's nickname for the Mets slugger, and wondering what's up with that boat. Also, we learn the name of Eric's fictional scouting director! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
