Show notes

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we begin by discussing all of the many rumors surrounding the Wilpons and the very wealthy people interested in buying the team.

Next, we talk about the agreement reached between the players and Major League Baseball, the path that got us here, and if they should really be playing a game during a pandemic.

We mention both Vasilis Drimalitis’s and Stephanie Apstein’s articles on this subject that are absolutely worth reading.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
