Episode 8: Stand-Alone Talents (FULL) - a podcast by Vik Raghupathi and Jacob Wessels

Special guest Varun Raghupathi joins the fold as he, Jacob and Vik canonize athletes who stood alone in their respective endeavors. First, Jacob presents the only man with a baseball card that says pinch runner (3:32). Then, Varun honors an athletic marvel who had the awful luck of being obscured at every stage of his career because someone was always doing similar things more prominently. However, all told, no one ended up doing what he did (37:08). Finally, Vik waxes poetic about his favorite play-by-play call of all time: one in which decades of lonely pursuits are packed into three words (1:04:40).
