An all new baseball-fans podcast from Scotland that focuses on the experience of baseball rather than the stats and in-depth analysis. Four fans, three from Scotland and a proud Yorkshireman, share their experience of following America’s game at home and abroad. The football loving fans from across the pond get into America’s game and seek to understand, explain and enjoy it from a lifetimes experience of watching traditional British sports. The Bullpen bros are rooting for the Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. During the 2023 season we’ll bring you a regular review to help you not just understand what’s happened but importantly help you understand the simple yet complex game. We’ll give you our Heroes, Villains, Highlights, Fantasy Baseball update and our Triple AAA, Ask About Anything to help us all learn. Plenty of laughs along the way and mascot Hamish the Highland Bull makes regular appearances!

The Highland Bullpen Baseball Podcast from Scotland lands the legendary MMA promoter and Hollywood producer Campbell McLaren for Episode 13!
The UFC co-creator and founder of hit Hispanic MMA promotion Combate Americas left his native Scotland almost 60 years ago but he retains a huge soft spot for the land of his birth.
The man whose marketing genius propelled UFC into becoming a sports phenomenon shares some incredible stories from his extraordinary life, featuring a galaxy of stars from the fight world, Hollywood and, of course, baseball.
Part One focuses on his journey from a small town near Stirling to the heart of Manhattan, via some tough schooldays in Philadelphia and some 'highs' during his college days at Berkeley in California.
Campbell's love of baseball, and its place at the heart of the American experience, shines through as he talks great ballparks, legendary players and his own impressive collection of signed baseballs from many of the game's greats.
And we round off the episode with Dave Jr profiling the Philadelphia Phillies, in honour of the first America city that Campbell and his family called home.
