Cracking a cold one while the crack of the bat echoes in the stadium, that's where you'll find Andy Beckstrom and me, Shawn Field, your hosts for a journey through laughs, hops, and home runs. As we sip on Off Color Brewing's Beer for Ball Games, a creamy concoction perfect for nine innings, we invite you to experience the peculiar charm of a brewery that doesn't shy away from the offbeat. Our banter goes beyond the brew, as we tackle everything from the connection between beer, baseball, and being a Minnesota sports fan, to the allure of running over objects with a tank for sheer catharsis.

Imagine sitting with friends, the air filled with anticipation just before a bench-clearing brawl unfolds on the diamond; this episode traverses those baseball moments that teeter between humor and tension. We're sharing a mixture of personal anecdotes and wider sports musings, including an amusing Terry Mulholland encounter and what it truly means to be a teammate. We also don't skirt around the topic of fighting in sports, comparing the baseball field to the hockey rink, and how each handles their unique brand of conflict.

Then there's the tale of Ed Gamble, a comedian whose harmless hot dog became the center of a health-conscious controversy across the pond, leading us to reflect on the quirks of food regulations and the unadulterated joy of ballpark franks. There's something about the snap of a natural casing that resonates with our collective nostalgia for the game and its culinary sidekicks. So whether you're here for the baseball banter, a lesson in obscure brews, or just a good laugh about life's absurdities, this episode has your bases covered.
