Hello and welcome to episode 17 and 84.

With the Wild A-Baseball Podcast from Fancast, presented by our Patreon supporters.

I am Ben Lindbergh of the Ringer, joined by Meg Roundly of Fancast.

Hello, Meg.

Hello.

So we are talking today to Sam Dingman and Mackmontan, and the hosts of the rumor.

A really fantastic, investigative but also silly podcast about the longstanding rumor

that there was a fight between Cal Ripkin and Kevin Costner over an affair

and that Ripkin was injured in this fight and that as a result,

the Orioles cancelled a game in which Ripkin was unable to play by claiming that some of the lights in the ballpark had shorted out

and the conditions were too dark for the Orioles to play the Mariners in artificially extended history.

So it's about the rumor, though it's really about fandom and how conspiracies get started and some bigger issues.

It's six episodes.

You can find it on Blue Wire and we'll link to it on our show page,

but it's in all the usual podcast places and it wrapped up a couple weeks ago,

and we both really enjoyed it.
