b'Infinite Inning 252: Thanksgiving in March (The Unpopular Dad) In an odd bit of timing, this week the Infinite Inning presents two stories about birds, one about a manager and an all-time great slugger who both got into the turkey business\\u2014maybe not together but sequentially\\u2014and another who tried to leverage his chickens into avoiding a pay-cut\\u2026 and the whole thing is secretly about parenting. Who knew?

The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman, rotating cohosts Jesse Spector, Cliff Corcoran, and David Roth, and occasional guests discuss the game\\u2019s present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they\\u2019ll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can\\u2019t get anybody out?'
