Amid a wave of pitcher accidents, Ben Lindbergh talks to Dr. Wealthy Nye (4:20), a former main leaguer whose career-ending harm turned a career-starting harm when he determined to turn out to be an exotic-animal veterinarian (amongst different occupations). Then (1:07:09) Ben talks to prolific TV creators/writers/producers Tom Fontana and Julie Martin about what might need been for Baseball Wives, a long-lost HBO baseball drama that was canceled after its pilot episode was produced in 2002. Lastly (1:43:25), Ben brings on Frequent Stat Blast Correspondent Ryan Nelson to ship eight Stat Blasts, plus (2:23:13) follow-ups.
