  • Episode 14 - 6/13/1987 - Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals

    14 APR 2024 · After a brief hiatus, and some travel in support of the show and in the name of camaraderie, Blake and Gabe are back to dissect a 1987 battle between NL Rivals The Chicago Cubs and The St. Louis Cardinals.  As we take the field, temperatures are near 105 degrees, we have concentrates and liquids flowing, and we are about to learn the meaning of "Whitey Ball". Vin is on the call as we enjoy our first NBC game of the week.  Harry pays a visit, we learn of Avian Bird Men, Were-Walruses, and weak chins.  We dive into an overflowing mailbag, discuss our weekend in Philadelphia, our sojourn to the Bronx, and just like every other week, discover why baseball used to be better. All right here on The Whole Ballgame.Oh, and Angel Hernandez sucks. Watch along with us here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWf8zhpWmp8Email us: thewholeballgame@mail.comHead to the website: www.thewholeballgame.comFollow on Twitter/X : www.x.com/wholeballgame
