The Baseball Book Club welcomes author Armand Rosamilia to discuss A View From My Seat, his behind-the-scenes look at the 2019 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp season. Through the eyes of a devoted fan, Armand shares what makes minor league baseball such a unique and unforgettable experience, from the personalities and promotions to the community that forms around the ballpark.

Then, we continue our countdown through Joe Posnanski's The Baseball 100 by examining the remarkable career of Jimmie Foxx, the Hall of Fame slugger who ranks #32 on the list. Overshadowed by some of the game's biggest legends, Foxx combined incredible power, consistency, and versatility to become one of baseball's greatest hitters.

The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies weren't supposed to win the National League pennant. Yet behind a young, energetic roster that became known as the Whiz Kids, they shocked baseball and captured the imagination of a city.

This week, we're joined by author Dennis Snelling, whose book The Whiz Kids tells the remarkable story of one of baseball's most overlooked pennant winners. We discuss the 1950 National League pennant winning Philadelphia Phillies, their improbable season, and why this team deserves to be remembered alongside the game's greatest underdog stories.

We'll also continue our Baseball Terminology series, inspired by Paul Dickson's The Baseball Dictionary, exploring another piece of the game's colorful language and history.

And in another edition of Baseball's Forgotten, we shine a light on Willie Smith, one of the rare players in Major League Baseball history to make an impact as both a pitcher and a position player.

Forgotten champions. Forgotten players - this episode is packed with the stories that make baseball history so unforgettable.
