Ducks fly together. Host Tommy Cassell chats with members of the Division 1 state championship baseball team from Needham High School as well as two of their coaches. The coaches just happened to be Tommy's high school classmates.

After senior captain, Charlie Roberts scooped up three rubber ducky’s during his team’s trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, in May the team used them as good luck charms in his team’s dugout ever since, 

Joining me were three of its senior captains in Charlie Sumner, Alex Luscher and Roberts. The two coaches are head coach Matt Howard and assistant coach Alex Marlow, both graduates of Weston High School, where Tommy went to school.

The group talks about winning a state championship for Needham baseball, relived some of the glory days of Weston High, discussed rubber duckies and even played a little trivia.
