Born in a Car Dealership in Canton (S1E10)

In celebration of Listener Support on Anchor. This very special episode of Good Hustle is exploring the world of sports movies. The year is 1994. The season before we saw Rookie of the Year Henry Rowengartner’s rocket arm lead the Cubs to an improbable run. In Anaheim, there were Angels in the outfield. While in real life we had to deal with the baseball strike that cost fans the world series and hurt the game for many years. But in this episode, we’re joining the Minnesota Twins. A struggling team owned by Thomas Heywood and managed by a mustachioed firebrand, George O’Farrell. Who are about to have their season turned upside down by their new 12-year-old owner/manager Billy Heywood. This is Episode 9 of Good Hustle, the 1994 Minnesota Twins from the movie Little Big League.
