Mark and Andy are joined by special guest Brad Balukjian, the author of the exceptional new book The Wax Pack. Mr. Balukjian gives some insight into how the book came about and what makes it so special. The hosts help him break down the players featured in the book, both personally and statistically. While Mr. Balukjian is able to show a side of the players that makes them more human, Mark and Andy attempt to reduce them down to a series of numbers and accomplishments. Our guest plays along in a scintillating round of Which Was Bigger?, while Mark and Andy wrap up the episode with good ol' Roll The Stat, your favorite quarantine advanced baseball stat guessing game. It all makes for one of the best episodes of the BBBA podcast yet.
