It is the eve of the Major League Baseball strike - August 11th, 1994 - and acting commissioner Bud Selig sits alone in his offices, as solitary as an oyster. With the work stoppage looming and the season in jeopardy, he is visited by the ghost of former commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti, warning him that the only chance of averting this crisis comes in the form of three spirits, who hope to inform him about the past, present, and future of the state of baseball...
The biggest It Happened One Year episode yet transforms into radio comedy/drama with this fully scripted, full cast forty-second entry! With a generous assist from the long defunct Petri Wine Company of California, A Baseball Humbug vaults through time with a phantasmagoric adaptation of A Christmas Carol, done in that inimitable IHOY style. Celebrate the holidays and gather the family around the audio machine as in days of yore for this crazy intersection of history, sports, and full-throated acting in podcasting!
