“A Single Tear” (2131, Part 2)

Sam Dingman, co-host of The Rumor podcast, visits “I Was There” to explore a different Cal Ripken Jr. narrative. A discussion that begins with 2,131 turns into an exploration of weightier topics as two lifelong Orioles fans chat about the power of collective experience, sports as a means of emotional expression for men, and the merits of cheering for a losing team. We also share embarrassing stories about our out-of-character public outbursts while watching live sports.
