Part of the reason for that is that “The Baseball Hour” holds a good chunk of the “Felger and Mazz” audience, but that is still a shockingly large discrepancy between the stations. Its founder prefers to maintain a private identity but has launched a new account, @SoxandShoes, that will focus on the Red Sox and is seeded with quite a few retro Eckisms already.
