As I explain in this episode, this series is a little different from those you're used to seeing from me. First, it's ongoing and has no definite endpoint. This subject matter is so rich with strange and funny baseball stories that I could make a hundred episodes if I really wanted to, but ultimately, I think I'll just keep making them until either I get bored or you get bored.
Second, I thought it would be fun to offer y'all a peek under the hood as I produce these episodes. I'm doing something I've never done before: I'm sharing my primary research document. Over here in this post (patreon.com/posts/database-of-weve-142735794) you'll find a link to my big Google spreadsheet that lists every single mound-charging incident I've found between 1950 and 2025. It also includes some stray notes I've left as well as links to any video evidence that might be available. Browse it, scrutinize it, steal it, whatever you wanna do. It belongs to everybody.
