In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark explore current events in baseball, including the Mariners' recent challenges, the anticipation for the trade deadline, former MLB stars like Trevor Bauer and Robinson Cano in the Mexican League and they learn about John Coleman and his no good, really bad rookie season (and his modern day counterpart). The main segment is Mark and Jeff each telling three short stories, two of which are true and one that is made up. Can you figure out which is which? Finally, Wax Pack Heroes pits some players from 1991 against each other in a duel to the baseball card death.
