The return several months in the making of a podcast now 10 years in the talking. The Best Podcast in Baseball previews opening day of the 2022 Cardinals season with Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel. He talks about his surprises of camp (Albert Pujols' return?), the issues unaddressed by the team (fifth starter), and what he thought about the first year of Camp Oli. Hummel joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer and BPIB host Derrick Goold to discuss whether the Cardinals are a good team relative to the rest of the National League Central, or a good team within the National League. Answers may vary. The Best Podcast in Baseball, which can be found on the new app STL Pinch Hits, is sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, and it is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. Look for it weekly during the regular season.
