Anthony is joined for an engaging conversation with Tom Alesia, the author behind "Baseball Like It Oughta Be," a book all about how the Madison Mallards became summer-collegiate baseball's top draw. Anthony and Tom discuss how the book came to life, the Mallard's relentless pursuit of creating the best fan experience, the everflowing amount of beer in Madison, Wisconsin and whether or not New Glarus Spotted Cow is overrated. Anthony is sipping on Crackin Bats, a Cracker Jack Brown Ale from Ross Brewing and Ship Bottom Brewing (NJ). Tom pours a Bud Light (the first beer sponsor of the Madison Mallards 25 years ago) and then enjoys Potosi Brewing Company Varsity Golden Ale (WI).  You can follow Tom on Instagram @toma998 and you can purchase Baseball Like It Oughta Be on Amazon or at your favorite bookseller.The No Bad Hops Podcast: Swinging for the fences with twice-monthly episodes that blend a love for baseball and beer.
