CORRECTION: Alex was mistaken when telling the story about Ruben Gotay. While still a true story, he was actually explaining Jordany Valdespin's career.
Kyle and Emily are joined by Alex Corigliano, co-host of the podcast dedicated to the New York Mets, the Mets Legends Cast. Emily takes everyone out to the ball game to chat about the meaning and origin of the word fungo.
Our intrepid explorers begin with a quick dive into the origins of baseball. They review some English games like cricket, and Emily shatters some long-held beliefs about the first ever baseball game. But then she gets into the real meat of the episode: a practice drill seen everywhere from Little League to professional baseball life.
The conversation wends its way through baseball practice of today and yesteryear, how best to throw and catch a fly ball, and what a baseball bat has in common with a common fungus. And before the episode is through, Kyle and Alex discover the unexpectedly sporty origins of some everyday phrases.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
