When does a legend become reality? How did a lifetime minor-leaguer become immortalized by Hollywood? This week on Caught Listening, Christian answers those questions and dives deeper into the life and career of Steve Dalkowski. If you don't know the name, you may know who he inspired: Nuke LaLoosh, the vivacious fireballer featured in the movie Bull Durham.

Helping recount the career of the ""Fastest Pitcher Ever"" is longtime New York Times sports columnist, George Vescey. From watching Dalkowski pitch in 1963, against Roger Maris no less, to talking about his issues off the field, Vescey and Christian discuss the legendary status of this hurler. They also talk about how the uniqueness of baseball is able to connect a lesser-known legend like Dalkowski with the immortals of Maris, Ted Williams, and Earl Weaver.

Finally, the two play ""Pepper"" and try to find another legendary minor-leaguer. You can be a part of the show each and every week by submitting your questions on social media.
