The Baseball Lifer Podcast with Eric Paddon

I open this show with a lengthy feature about the Cubs' amazing wins on April 18 and 22 including some of the sounds from those two exceptional games. Then, I bring you an encore presentation of an interview I did with Eric Paddon. Like me, he collects recordings of baseball broadcasts going back to the 1930's. Most of the games I have, especially from the 1970's came from him. We discuss how he built his collection and some of his favorite games.
