Martian Sam (XMIN)

The Los Angeles Dodgers sign a real Martian as a left-handed pitcher. He's got lots of arms, and one of them is thirty-two feet long!

The Brooklyn Dodgers moved to LA right before the 1958 season, so this episode was being a little clever - a fact that is mostly lost on modern listeners. The story is so-so, but the voice talents are quite entertaining, as is the unusual mash up of baseball and science fiction.
