Podcast: Talking Red Sox with Sandeep Parikh
This week’s episode of Ducksnort Baseball Podcast features actor/writer Sandeep Parikh (The Guild, That Moment When):
Sandeep discusses growing up as the son of Indian immigrants and becoming a Red Sox fan:
Becoming a Boston fan was very much survival for me. I do love baseball, but it was also my way of relating to people. I mean, it was totally all waspy white people… and I think that as a kid, people would kind of look at [me] like “What are you?” And then you’re like “Uh… Wade Boggs had a great game! Jody Reed went 2 for 5!” And they’re like “Oh ok, I can relate to him.” I really do think it was a way to normalize myself in small town New Hampshire.
Plus the Ducksnort boys weigh in on the season’s first weekend by reviewing the highlights and lowlights, and guessing which hot bats are most likely to finish the year among the league leaders. And they drop their homemade team slogans for the NL East, including a healthy dose of Gabe Kapler shade.
With thoughts on Dustin Pedroia’s laser show, Wade Boggs, David Price, J.D. Martinez, Roger Clemens’s rice-punch training regiment, Ichiro Suzuki, Matt Davidson’s power surge, Bryce Harper, the Royals’ terrible pitching staff, Christian Yelich, Evan Longoria and Andrew McCutchen’s slow start, and more!
