The Highland Bullpen Baseball Podcast E07 - Base Stealing Tribute to Lou Brock

The Highland Bullpen Baseball Podcast from Scotland has made a sensational late trade in time for E07!

We’re joined by Baseball Scotland Hall of Famer Jason Derr, co-host of the excellent Ballcaps and Bagpipes podcast.

Seattle Mariners (and Greenock Morton!) fan Jason shares some fantastic stories and also helps the Bullpen bros out in the Seventh Inning Stretch Quiz.

We also launch a new feature ‘Junior’s Journal’ where Dave Junior casts an eye over some of the week’s weird and wonderful happenings in the world of baseball.
