Foul Territory

Tim Kurkjian and his son Jeff are joining the Foul Territory Network! Subscribe to Is This A Great Game, Or What wherever you get your podcasts and also on YouTube.
Tim is at Spring Training and fired up to talk about everything he’s seen so far. The impact of the World Baseball Classic is already being felt across clubs, and looming negotiations for the 2027 season are hanging over just about everyone.
“On This Date” in baseball history inspires a brand-new Team Tim — and it wasn’t an easy roster to build.
Jeff took the lead on baseball cards this week, and it didn’t disappoint. He even pulled from his personal collection, so we’ve got some heavy hitters (and pitchers) featured in this episode.
