We'll have a new pod later this week wrapping up another brilliant moment in British baseball history.
In the meantime, we've brought together all the conversations we had this weekend into a single pod. These were peppered across the weekend, but we wanted as many of you as possible to hear them all - plus a couple of others we didn't include - as they offer brilliant reflections on the meaning of these series from across the baseball world. As a European fan, it's a heartening listen - and we proved them all right!
You'll hear from Sean Manaea, Whit Merrifield, Dave Dombrowski, Tony Clark, Felix White, Doug Glanville and Shane Victorino.
And from us all again very soon. -

In 2019, a crack bunch of baseball pundits were relgated from a pod for the crime of not being the originals. These men promptly escaped from the basement to the podcasting underground.
