Bulldog and Friends
Scud on Baseball: From the Astrodome to the Green Monster
In this nostalgic and laugh-filled episode of Bulldog and Friends, host Bulldog reconnects with longtime friend Robert "Scud" Scudder, a diehard Giants fan and self-proclaimed master of the bar graph. Together, they reminisce about a lifetime of baseball—from growing up in Texas during the Colt .45s era to falling in love with the Giants in the shadow of Candlestick Park.
Scud shares his most unforgettable moments, including witnessing Game 1 of the 1989 World Series during the Loma Prieta earthquake and watching Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs in a World Series game. They discuss the highs and heartbreaks of being a Giants fan, favorite ballparks (hint: the Green Monster is on Scud’s bucket list), and what it’s like to experience Opening Day as a Young Life tradition.
Other topics include the magic of Madison Bumgarner, the underrated brilliance of Patrick Bailey, baseball food rankings (sorry, crab sandwich lovers), and who Scud would love to share lunch with from baseball’s past—Hank Aaron.
It’s an episode filled with heart, humor, and plenty of hot takes—like why the DH should be abolished and why cotton candy has no place at the ballpark. Plus, a reminder about the incredible work of Saving Innocence, the show’s cause for awareness and change.
