Unforgettable Legacies - with special guests The Simpson Road Trojans

In this episode of The Ballpark Boys, Jackson and Jon sit down with members of the 1962 Simpson Road Trojans, an undefeated Little League team from Atlanta, Georgia, whose historic season was cut short not on the field, but by the era’s strict segregation rules. The team reflects on community support, strict discipline, navigating Jim Crow-era obstacles, and their recent recognition by the Atlanta City Council decades later. The episode also features a discussin about the 2026 World Series conspiracy theory that has been circulating - involving team payrolls, market sizes, and upcoming contract negotiations. Later, Jon and Jackson look back on their own World Series experience, and Jackson tackles a historical trivia question about Don Larsen’s legendary 1956 World Series perfect game that leads to a funny realization.
