Section 10 Podcast

BLAZE JORDAN joins the pod and boy is this guy addicted to hitting home runs! The 19 year-old phenom has been in the spotlight since he was 11 years old when a video of him hitting a 395-foot home run went viral, but he wasn't done there. He went re-viral two years later when he hit TWO 500-foot home runs at the age of 13! Insane. Now he's a top Red Sox prospect and we couldn't be happier to have him. We talk to Blaze about what it was like to have that much attention as a kid and when he realized his power was something special, how he got the name Blaze and how it's one of the best sports names ever, his reaction when he got picked by the Red Sox and his decision to go pro instead of playing in college, meeting Mookie Betts at the All-Star Game in 2019, his relationships with other top prospects in the Red Sox organization, and his goals for 2022 and how he wants to progress as a player. Safe to say this won't be the last interview with Blaze Jordan. During the rest of the episode we get another Pat's 12-Pack where Pat lists his top 12 favorite frogs, we talk about bat flips/celebrations and people getting mad about them, throwing at people and charging the mound, N64 and Mario Kart, and a whole lot more. Chris Cotillo also joins the pod for a quick phone call which results in him being indefinitely suspended from the podcast.

Another week has gone by with seemingly no progress being made towards ending the lockout, so naturally we recorded a near two-hour Red Sox podcast while Pat Light got his haircut. After a near perfect debut to Pat’s 12-Pack last week, Pat is right back at it again this week with his top 12 most famous shipwrecks. We mix in some questions for Pat’s barber who’s a huge Red Sox fan, talk about the Red Sox minor league signees, discuss MLB moving to a universal DH format, and help Pat get ready for his sold-out live show at the Staples center.

In what is officially the longest episode in Section 10 History, the crew listens to four hours of voicemails from people who are mad at Pat.
