Ep 129: Confessions of a JUCO baseball player
The Moonlight Graham Show has always had an affinity for the ultimate underdog sports scene; junior college.
This week takes us to the Iowa Central Community College baseball alumni golf outing. The Moonlight Graham Show sponsored the 9th hole for the alumni outing and placed a recording device with a sign that said: “Tell your best story”. And these former Tritons delivered.
Playing a sport at the junior college level is one of the truest forms of playing for your team and for the love of the game - because there isn’t much else to play for. Long bus trips, small team budgets, and a lack of recognition make JUCO sports a fertile ground for building life-long relationships with teammates. This week, Tim hands the microphone over to Triton alums to tell their best story while on the golf course. These Tritons share everything from 28-hour bus trips to pushing a coach’s van around campus after getting caught with some adult beverages.
Enjoy Episode 129 and a trip inside the world of JUCO baseball!
We love repeat-Moonlighters and this week we bring back an all-time great. Pat Hoberg isn’t just a top-tier Moonlighter though, he is also the number one umpire in Major League Baseball. The Urbandale native was the star of episode 103 when he was an up and comer in the Majors. He returns to the pod as arguably the best umpire in the world!
