Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we begin by talking about how the Mets have improved, but probably not enough to salvage the season. We also talk about the latest rash of injuries and the vote of confidence Carlos Mendoza received from David Stearns.

Next, we pay tribute to legendary Yankees announcer John Sterling and chat about the Women’s Professional Baseball League schedule, which dropped recently.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
