Summary: It's Memorial Day Weekend here in the US so hopefully you'll be stopping by your local park to take in some Minor League Baseball action! Friends of the show, The Ivy Envy Podcast, had a fun meetup this Saturday at the Iowa Cubs game where they got to see one of the most stacked rosters in all of Minor League Baseball take the field. But, after all it is Memorial Day. So most importantly we say thank you to the men and women who bravely sacrifice and serve our country to allow us to watch the game we love. Here's what you'll get in this episode: The show is at full strength this week as we celebrate the Memorial Day weekend at the park. Toledo Mudhens slugger Mike Hessman hit his 400th Minor League home run as the industry pays homage to an impressive and somewhat frustrating feat. We challenge Sam to uncover what active player has the second most Minor League homers next to Hessman. Jay and Mike discuss the probable starters for their series that kicks off in Richmond this week. Jay's happy to let Mike borrow his 1998 Volvo so that he can get around to the hoppin joints of Richmond. The crew also takes a look back at the blockbuster Blue Jays & Marlins deal that went down in the 2012 offseason. As always, we fill you in on who should "Get Outta Town" and wouldn't you know, Sam was spot on last week with Pat Venditte who received his call up to Scranton recently.
