We’re back with spring vibes, MLB drama, and a Bachelor-inspired breakdown of baseball’s quirky farm system. From spring training traditions to the truth about minor leaguers (spoiler: not all “pros” are created equal), we’re covering why Opening Day should be a national holiday. Toss in a Bob Uecker tribute, a few dating app red flags, and a spotlight on Jenny Cavnar—a true game-changer in sports broadcasting—and this episode’s a total home run.
