ABOUT THE SHOW
⚾ Dirt & Diamonds ⚾
The Grind. The Game. The Dream.
Hosted by Larry B. and Freddie B. on IE Sports Radio, Dirt & Diamonds is your home for California League Baseball coverage built by two lifelong baseball lovers, former athletes, and fans of the grind it takes to chase the dream.
What started as a simple realization, that one of the most exciting and entertaining leagues in Minor League Baseball deserved more attention, quickly became a passion project dedicated to celebrating the players, teams, ballparks, and unforgettable moments that make the California League special.
From walk offs and prospect breakouts to packed ballparks, crazy promotions, food reviews, rivalries, and future stars climbing the ladder toward Major League Baseball, Dirt & Diamonds covers the full experience of life in the California League.
Larry B. and Freddie B. know firsthand the work, sacrifice, and heart that goes into competing at every level of the game. As former high school, college, and semi-pro athletes themselves, they understand that the grind never stops — and that every player in this league is chasing something bigger.
This show isn’t just about scores.
It’s about stories.
It’s about community.
It’s about the journey.
Whether you’re a diehard fan, a ballpark regular, a prospect junkie, or someone discovering the California League for the first time, Dirt & Diamonds brings you inside one of the most entertaining leagues in baseball with energy, personality, and passion every single week.
Because in the California League, no lead is safe, every game has a story, and the dream is always alive.
⚾ Keep that dirt flying… and we’ll see you next pitch.
