Episode 69: VCU Baseball Alum, Firefighters Pitcher Ben Dum Talks Playing Banana Ball in 2025
Big thanks again to Ben Dum, a former VCU baseball pitcher and player in the Braves' and Twins' organizations, for jumping back on the podcast! We talked last year about his days as a Ram, and for this second part we recorded a conversation back in January about playing Banana Ball in 2025.
Ben just announced that he'll be playing for the Firefighters, who will come to Richmond and the Diamond to play later this year. We talked about the ins and outs of Banana Ball, how he got into it in the first place and so much more.
