Baseball, Blink, and Butterbeans: Riley Adams Talks with NCiB

<p>We can't think of a better way to transition to the postseason than with a reminder of what we love most about baseball -- the players. Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams joins us to share his stories from getting his first glove to getting his call up. We talk about what makes a great walk-up song (Riley's use of Blink-182's "<a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/riley-adams-explains-origin-of-blink-182-walk-up-song">All the Small Things</a>" made him an instant favorite with Nats fans). Riley encourages kids to keep sports fun by playing a lot of them, and gets serious about minor league pay. His <a href="https://www.mlb.com/player/riley-adams-656180">MLB page</a> still doesn't show his nickname, but we now know what it is.</p><p>Get vaxxed, fight the man, and find us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/NCIBPodcast">@ncibpodcast</a>, on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoCryingInBBall/">@nocryinginbball</a>, Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nocryinginbball/">@nocryinginbball</a> and on the Interweb at <a href="https://www.nocryinginbball.com/">nocryinginbball.com</a>.
