Crooked Numbers
31-year baseball broadcaster and front office executive Glenn Geffner digs up baseball statistics that help tell a story. The numbers serve as a jumping off point to talk a little baseball history, connecting players and teams of today to some of the great stars and great ballclubs of the past (to some of the lousy players and terrible teams too).

Episodes
In this 4th of July Weekend edition, Glenn looks back at a couple of historic holiday weekend marathons, checks in on some of Baseball's finest families and recounts what may have been the greatest pitchers duel in Major League history.
Soto and Judge, Ruth and Gehrig, Strawberry, Robinson, Ryan and…Mick Kelleher? Plus, a devoted listener introduces us to a baseball statistic he's developed. Glenn has all that and much more as he again dives inside Major League Baseball on this week’s episode.
This week, Glenn takes a look at who may be on deck to join some of Baseball’s most exclusive clubs. Plus, the only person inducted into both the Baseball and Pro Football Halls of Fame, the only franchise to never lose 100 games (at least for now) and much more. And Hall of Fame writer Tim Kurkjian of ESPN delivers our Final Line.
In honor of National Brothers Day, we dive into some of the sets of brothers who've distinguished themselves in the major leagues. Plus, a look at a pair of Japanese arms taking the big leagues by storm, some of the emerging young stars at shortstop, Mookie's growing lead-off legend and more.
This week, we're bursting at the seams with stats and stories, from 1880 to 2024. From Baseball's first great slugger to the Game's latest fireballing phenom. Unforgettable debuts, iron men, father-son tandems and much more. Plus Hall of Fame writer Jayson Stark delivers our Final Line.
On this week's edition, we salute Moms (and some of the sons who've made recent Mother's Days special across Major League Baseball). And on what would have been his 64th birthday, we remember Mr. Padre Tony Gwynn. Plus a listener submits a great Ichiro stat and story.
In our premiere episode, the Cleveland Spiders weave a web of misery, and Glenn tells the story of the Baseball immortal who was adamant he couldn't hit big league pitching. Plus, Tyler Kepner of The Athletic tells the story of the man who authored one of the Game's greatest final chapters.
