The Brothers Brandt Sports Podcast

Tune into this episode to hear how our 10 game 10 day road trip on the West Coast ended.

Our dear friend from back in NJ who was stationed in SD with the Navy, Jack Shinnick, played host extraordinaire and te...

Game 9 of the road trip takes a special, iconic venue: The Rose Bowl! The Rose Bowl is rich with history dating back to the turn of the century. We were just as excited to see the Bruins play as we were to walk along the historic bleachers at this venue.

We are on cruise control ladies and gents. The stories just keep flowing like Niagara Falls. In this episode, we hurry down to San Diego from Los Angeles to see the Padres battle the Brew Crew.

Next, we went to the game and got on the field during the half...
