b'Could there have been a Tigers first baseman more ill-fated than Spencer Torkelson? Yes, by far, especially when his manager thought he couldn\\u2019t play and his own trainer tried to bake him. Plus, an early player gets in touch with his inner divinity and faces fatal consequences\\u2014but always dresses the part.

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?'
