Effectively Wild Episode 1527: The Only Rule Revisited

Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about how runs, hits, and errors became baseball’s standard scoreboard stats and the piecemeal way in which baseball evolves, then reminisce about and reevaluate the 2015 experiment that led to their 2016 book about running the independent league Sonoma Stompers, The Only Rule Is It Has to Work: Our Wild Experiment Building a New Kind of Baseball Team.

Audio intro: Wishbone Ash, "Errors of My Way"
Audio outro: Splinter, "After Five Years"
