Hosted by Joe Hojnacki and Greg Hessen, Crowding the Plate is a weekly baseball podcast here on Last Word on Sports. It aims to cover the fun, yet analytical, side of baseball once a week.
Joe Hojnacki writes for soccer for Last Word on Sports and is also co-host of the Crowding the Plate Podcast. An avid Boston Red Sox fan, Joe idolizes Bryce Harper and feels that his fun showmanship is the way to save baseball from becoming overrun by old folks and from dying out.
Greg Hessen is the resident Detroit Tigers fan on Crowding the Plate. As somewhat more of a traditionalist, Greg longs for the days of pitchers hitting in the American League and a baseball landscape that didn’t include things like bat flips and PEDs tarnishing the greatest of all games.
