Part 8/11:
Throughout the podcast, the Kirkshen duo reflected on storied figures like Sparky Anderson, their ancestor Tito Francona, and Carlos Bierga, whose record of hitting home runs from both sides of the plate in the same inning remains a rare achievement.
They also discussed historical moments such as the end of the 1921 and 1947 World Series with double plays, emphasizing the rarity of certain endings, including the fact that the 2025 series was only the second in history to end with double plays in both Game 6 and Game 7.
A humorous thread included the frequent use of "firsts," with the hosts joking about the redundant phrase "first time in history" and marveling at the uniqueness of this postseason.
