0:00.0	Hey, it's Liz Kelly and welcome to the Ringer Podcast Network. The Ringer is launching a new
0:04.7	podcast from the guys who brought you a sespitous family barbecue called Baseball Barbecue.

0:13.8	utterly bizarre corners of the baseball world and everything that makes it special.
0:18.5	Throughout the off season, they'll dive into the rabbit hole on some of their favorite
0:21.6	vaccinations from the home run derby to baseball brawls and much more. Once the season returns,
