Daniel O'BrienHOST
The New Jersey Silos, or I guess I would need to pick a place because these minor league teams are all like the Somerset Patriots and Trenton Thunder.
Daniel O'BrienHOST

Daniel O'BrienHOST

Ben MallerHOST
I saw them play earlier this year against the Woo Sox.
Ben MallerHOST
He didn't want to play for the Rail Riders or the Somerset Patriots or the Hudson Valley Renegades or anyone else in the Yankees organization.
Ben MallerHOST
And he knew better than the medical people and baseball tradition where you go on a minor league rehab assignment.

Stacey GotsuliasHOST
On Thursday, Fox pitched seven and two third scoreless innings of one-hit ball.
Stacey GotsuliasHOST
He had six strikeouts and only one walk.
Paul CaputoHOST
It's very exciting, and, uh, under normal circumstances I might have done a thing where I tried to get like, a, you know, a bunch of guests or do something special just to, like, commemorate the occasion of 250 episodes.
Paul CaputoHOST
But there was too perfect an opportunity to pass up for this episode when the Somerset Patriots in New Jersey announced that they were gonna be playing several games this season as the Semiquincentennials, a 19-letter name [laughs] that they wore during the weekend of the semiquincentennial celebrations all over the United States.
Paul CaputoHOST
So we're gonna be celebrating this very long name for a minor league baseball team.
Paul CaputoHOST
I have a T-shirt that says Semiquincentennials on it, and, uh, I got that at a game during Baseball Palooza, uh, this past summer, and I think it's a fun brand.
Paul CaputoHOST
Dan, we're not talking about Rome, we're not talking about my cross-country move to Philadelphia, we are talking about the commemoration of 250 years of the United States, a celebration of 250 episodes of Baseball by Design, and 250 as a number, and the long word semiquincentennials.
Paul CaputoHOST
It's all gonna be part of this conversation.
Paul CaputoHOST
Uh, we are gonna talk to Hal Hansen with the Somerset Patriots.

Andrew LeePANELIST
Like, there's, you know, Somerset Patriots are not that far away, minor league baseball, and, like, it has its own sort of, like, niche teams in the region.
Andrew LeePANELIST
So there is, I think, proof of why it could work because there are, you know...
Andrew LeePANELIST
Uh, uh, the big thing that he kept telling me in our interview that I did with him was focusing on making it, like, affordable and actually a full family experience versus the sort of higher end that you run into when you're trying to go to an event like, you know, an MLS game at a brand new stadium that's opening also next July 2027.
