Ep. 85 — Alex and Bobby banter about Bill Walton’s magical night calling the White Sox-Angels game, and discuss what made it such a successful experiment. Then they talk about Aristides Aquino and the generational talents coming up at such young ages, and discuss how it plays into notions of exploiting labor in baseball (obviously). This week’s Three Up, Three Down features the joy of the Little League World Series and a presidential endorsement in the DH debate.
