Who Gave This Kid a Sharpie?

Baseball boyfriends are by definition guys we like, but sometimes it takes a while to get to that part.  Welcome to the show where we profile Yankees and Dodgers. LA brings us a defection story and a high profile international signing, and NY brings us a childhood Pesky pole situation and a putting one over on the parents with a dirty uniform. Spring training gives us Walkers and talkers, and Vegas tourism finds a way to put a city name on an As jersey. You too can own a baseball team, just ask Billie Joe Armstrong. WBC qualifiers wrap up with qHAR questions, and Chris Kluwe gets canned for dubious reasons. Read this about Rachel Balkovec.

We say, “If you throw rocks really, really far you could hit Boston,” “audacious little f&*ker,” and “You dropped a lot of pirate words talking about a 5-year old.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
