Flobo Boyce is In The Booth on this episode to chat a few things as the calendar turns over to may. A new vocabulary words makes the baseball rounds, Flobo has a few words on the "suffering Mets fan" culture, PLUS he details his experience of going to his first college softball game!

Dodgers Fans (and SoCal baseball fans) rejoice. The newest minor league baseball team, the Dodger-affiliated Ontario Tower Buzzers has arrived! On this episode of In The Booth, Flobo Boyce sits down with Allan Benavides, the first General Manager of the uniquely named club.

Don't call him a celebrity, but we are joined by Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of the Obama Foundation, Michael Strautmanis to the show. This conversation of culture, baseball and Chicago history is ten years in the making, started with Strautmanis penning an essay about black baseball fandom in Chicago for &Scape in 2016. https://www.obama.org/

On this special episode of "In The Booth," we're speaking with Assistant Professor of Sport Studies at Manhattanville University, Dr. Seth Tannenbaum. His upcoming book, "Bleacher Seats and Luxury Suites: Democracy and Division at the Twenith-Century Ballpark" takes a look at the paradox of baseball being presented as both an egalitarian fan experience while also being designed to keep lower and middle class fans at the ballpark. Dr. Tannenbaum and Flobo Boyce discuss early origins and its ripples today.

Over the past few years, there's been a lot of talk about regenerative medicine and what that means for athletes. I sit down with Dr. Tommy Rhee, former medical staff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and owner of the the RheeGen system, to discuss innovate ways that regenerative medicine is being used in sport.

Last year, you may have stumbled across a press story or social media post about a 40-year-old man who decided to play college baseball at the JUCO level.

Well, that man is Aaron Rouselle, and he is our special guest on this joint episode of In the Booth hosted by Flobo Boyce and the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast.

Coach Rouselle is a true inspiration to anyone with a dream. Yes, he played college baseball at an advanced age, but he is also a 2X liver transplant survivor, a cancer survivor, he had shingles, and he even had mold growing in his lungs. The fact that Aaron is with us today is indeed a miracle.

He now leads young men in the game and teaches them more than baseball. He teaches his players about life.
