Multi Award-Winning Pitmaster, Heath Riles and Martin's Baseball Museum Curator, Tracy Martin

Heath Riles is a 75-time Grand Champion.  He has been grilling since he was 18 years old and participated on his first competition BBQ team in Ashland, Mississippi.  Since then his name has become synonymous with high-quality barbecue products which include an award-winning line of barbecue rubs, sauces, marinades, and injections.  Barbecue is not just a mere hobby for Heath, but rather the career path he has chosen and the cooking style on which he is building a rich legacy.  We are joined by our guest co-host, Doug Scheiding, also a renowned pitmaster, as we talk about barbecue with a bit of baseball talk.  Heath discusses another surprise project he is starting.  More information on Heath Riles can be found at https://www.heathrilesbbq.com/

 

Tracy Martin has a basement baseball fans adore and collectors envy.  For nearly 50 years Tracy has collected items from the game he loves, including baseballs, gloves, bats, uniforms, memorabilia, bobbleheads, equipment, newspaper clippings, and many unique, one-of-a-kind items. Martin is a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan and as a kid growing up his favorite player was Johnny Bench. He has a Facebook page that shows off his collection and would like to have a storefront museum someday, but for now is content to have guests view the collection at his home and to occasionally bring items to local events for the public to enjoy.  Tracy has things that even the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York has borrowed to display.  Just as we say good-bye and stop recording Tracy tells us about his love of BBQ and we start recording again and talk about it.  More information on Tracy Martin's museum can be found at https://www.facebook.com/martinsbaseballmuseum
