Please, we beg you to join us on this journey of discovery. What is a spitball? Should a spitball be allowed? Can human beings defeat a computer? Is the movie Eight Men Out an accurate movie? How many triples is a lot? Please let us know because we do not arrive at any conclusions in this episode of Tater Tots.

This week, we discuss the years 1919 and 2008. We cover "Chick" Gandil, ringleader of the Black Sox scandal, and Juan Pierre, a strong candidate for übertot.
