Soccer in Fenway Park 1928 to 2019

A new mini series from the Highland Bullpen "Why I Love..." and to kick it off we have Rich talking about Errors and "why he loves errors".  It's not to do with the fact he knows he'd be error ridden out on the field  but he explains about errors and why they elevate his love of the game.  The other Bullpen Bros join in with their thoughts and will be telling us what they love most in future episodes of this mini series. Tell us what aspect of the game would you most "love" to talk about for this series? We'd love any feedback from you. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

We're into the last month of the regular season, 3 of our 4 team predictions are bust, 2 of our teams are bust but both teams of Sox are in the driving seat for Play Off places. Join the disappointment of Rich and his Mariners and Highlander Alan and his Detroit Tigers as they make a feeble attempt at explaining the team's failures. And the anticipation and expectation of White Sox Dave Junior and Red Sox Yorkshire Dave as they bring the potential glory of their teams to the Highland Bullpen with October baseball. It's all covered in half an hour of baseball in Scottish accents. We'd love any feedback from you. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome to The Highland Bullpen Baseball podcast and a new episode on Soccer history in Ballparks. And given the recent Tartan Army takeover of Boston what better place to start than Fenway Park. 11 minutes 22 seconds of random soccer facts from Boston covering Scottish football, Rangers, Celtic and even Charlie Adam (great guy, once saw him speak at a Mental Health charity dinner in the evening and a friend on hand to drive him back south for training the next day) getting an honourable mention. A little bit of insight to the 1968 North American Soccer League which we'll cover more and no debate from here on who the actual GOAT is. We'd love any feedback from you. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome to the Highland Bullpen baseball podcast. And this weeks bonus episode is all about discussing our recent Ballpark adventures. Rich joined the Tartan Army in Boston and Miami but also visited his spiritual home in Seattle and picked up some minor league baseball in Tacoma too. All this after flying into New York from Glasgow and a quick visit to Citi Field to see the New York Mets. Dave Junior also saw a good number of games but stayed 100% loyal to the table topping Chicago White Sox and also managed to get his son to witness his first Sox win! We'd love any questions and thoughts you have. ©Tartan Podcasts 2026 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome to The Highland Bullpen Baseball podcast and in our regular team catch up where else can we start but with Yorkshire Dave and the unstoppable Boston Red Sox with their franchise record 15 consecutive wins.

Seattle Mariner fan Rich is losing a little bit of optimism with the PNW team but it's a division that could be anyones. And Highland Alan and the Tigers with all the Detroit chat about will be Skubal be traded or not and what will we get for a trade. We'd love any questions and thoughts you have. ©Tartan Podcasts 2026 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome to The Highland Bullpen Baseball podcast and our second episode on Scottish Baseball History! We really didn't expect to find baseball in our Highlands over 100 years ago but that was the consequence of the Great War. It did lead us to a discovery that there may have been baseball in the Highlands back in the 1800s but that's for another time! Sixteen minutes to find it all out here. Some military history, baseball history and a wee bit of Scottish geography knowledge! We'd love any feedback from you. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Little did we expect the extent of the Tartan Army takeover of Fenway Park during the FIFA World Cup. Bagpipes, a march, thousands of fans, songs, joy, beers. What was it like to be there? Only way to find out was to get Tartan Army foot soldier Steven onto our podcast and talk us through it all. You can feel the fun of the evening through his words and enthusiasm. Even better he is an NFL fan so we are working on his conversion! The Red Sox might have lost the game but I think they won many fans and enhanced theor reputation through their engagement with the Scotland fans. A heartfelt thank you to them. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
