We have been slow to tweet our latest episodes on Twitter (follow us on Instagram, we post all the time there) but let’s recap one of our favorite profiles on the first female GM of all time… Kim Ng!

48:45 - Player profiles are back! First up in season 2…legendary hitter Hideki Matsui 🦖 (imagine that’s a Godzilla emoji)

Baseball is back, we are back, and our inconsistent tweeting is back! Yay. Anyway, this week we recap some epic plays as well as go in deep with the OG power hitter, Hideki Matsui! Listen anywhere you get your podcasts.

We’re a couple weeks late on posting our 2022 wrap up. We discuss notable winter trades (the Red Sox are the most Asian team in the MLB now?!) We also give out our end-of-the-year awards. Obviously they are super legit and supersede anything else. https://t.co/WVBl3ZpG8u

It’s another week with Kim and Scott holding down the fort. Kim, Darvish, and Kwan hold it down for the Asians in the post season. Give a listen! https://t.co/NhIS7DSdBf

It's been a hot minute since we've last tweeted, but we're still going strong! But not as strong as Steven Kwan and Kim Ha Seong who continue to crush it. Proud of you bros. 🫰 Listen today instead of working. https://t.co/c3g2IBsbHW

Choi Ji Man and Kim Ha Seong hit homers on the same day, Seiya Suzuki is back from the IL and sprints to score an inside-the-park home run, and Shohei Ohtani dominates on the mound once again. Ohtani's continuing to do great but the Angels are not so...

This week we go deep in the one and only, the GOAT of the GOATS, ICHIRO!!!

10x Gold Glove Outfielder
10x All Star
4,367 career hits
And very like the first Asian Hall of Famer

[Asians in Baseball @AznsinBaseball]

This week it’s all about SHOHEI.
💯 2 three-run homers plus 8 RBIs in *one* game
💯 THEN the next night he’s on the mound and strikes out 13 with 8 scoreless
💯 hits the hardest homer in his career

And there’s the fight.

What a week. https://t.co/c3g2IBsbHW
