Thank you for supporting the show through (more than) 400 episodes! In addition to the usual celebrations and ruminations about what it all means, we have the usual two stories. We take a trip back to the great Cubs teams of the early 20th century and a forgotten pitcher who performed under some bizarre conditions and then turned his back on the game because sometimes you’re in such sorrow that even the things you love become too painful to touch.
The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can’t get anybody out?
