I'm guessing that a few people in here grew up watching "The Baseball Bunch." If you need a refresher, it was a show in the 80s hosted by Johnny Bench with Tommy Lasorda, The San Diego Chicken, lots of great Major League Baseball guest stars, and of course, the kids who learned all about the game each week.

If you do remember the show, you might be interested in a podcast I just did in which I put together a group discussion with The San Diego Chicken and three of the original kids from the show. I think you'll get a kick out of hearing them talk about it all these years later.

If you'd like to check it out, the direct link is www.justmyshow/baseballbunch (http://www.justmyshow.com/baseballbunch).

Hope you enjoy it.
