Episode 78 | The 2023 World Series & Championship Series Recap

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony prepare themselves for the last hurrah of the baseball season: the World Series! Before they get there though, they have two things to address first. The two lead off with a couple of stories that recently dropped such as Dusty Baker's retirement, Aaron Judge's reception of the Roberto Clemente Award, and the Yankees need for a hitting coach (for like the third time). Next up is catching up on the Championship Series and all the highlight reel moments and improbable outcomes that came with them! Finally, it's time for them to talk some Fall Classic baseball! Fair note, the most recent game that went down when Tom and Tony recorded was Game 3 so the next two games will not be covered. Even still, that still leaves the Rangers' late game heroics in Game 1, Merrill Kelly's Game 2 gem, and so much more here on the World Series edition of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
