Why don't players bunt? Is it a lost art in baseball?  Was baseball better when there were 8 teams in each league and only one league champion that would represent the league in the World Series?  We debate and contemplate whether today's baseball is the best it's ever been. The athleticism of modern players is at the highest level ever and we question if players are pulling off more extraordinary catches and plays than ever before.

We’ll consider whether free agency has changed the player-manager relationship, and if modern players are as committed to their craft as their predecessors. Additionally, we delve into how the shift  to a four division in 1969 and adding wild cards in 1994 have altered pennant races forever. We'll discuss how tactics have evolved and whether the wild card system truly recognizes the best regular season team. Trust us, this is a baseball discussion you won't want to miss!
