Episode Synopsis

When I was a kid playing little league baseball Robin Yount was a model for a lot of us.A hope and a dream that we were chasing at 12 years old.After all, he was just a few years older than the kids playing for Coburg Dairy, Baskin-Robins and Avondale Pharmacy.But Robin Yount at 18 years old after half a season in Single-A was a Major Leaguer playing the position where all the cool kids played - shortstop - while we were trying to figure out how to hit what passed for a curve ball. But this isn’t about Robin, at least not directly.It’s about Robin’s older brother Larry, who was also a Major Leaguer.  Well, kind of.  Sources:Wikipedia - Larry YountMLB.com - Robin Yount's Brother Larry Holds Unusual RecordBaseball-Reference.com - Larry YountTrue Tails of the Big Leagues is a Seldom Used Reserve Podcast and is narrated by Marty Coleman. Co-executive producers are Parker Coleman and Marty Coleman.
