Ready for Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura? Good news: https://www.patreon.com/SecretBase/posts/robin-ventura-vs-162986639 Hello, I'm Jon, and this is the fifth episode of The History of Charging the Mound. You can think of this series as a trail mix. Every time you shake some out, you're bound to get some low-bitrate video of guys taking swings at each other, some baseball history, some broad commentary about the past and present state of the game, and some goofy hijinks. Well, this one's mostly hijinks. This one's 75% made up of those weird little off-brand M&Ms, and that's all thanks to Dave Rozema, a guy I knew very little about until a few months ago. This guy fit more petty misadventures into a single career than just about any other ballplayer of the last 50 years. I absolutely love this guy, and I hope you will too.
