We're throwing a world series social! First, even though you might not be an Astros fan, the Astros portion is all about why we love baseball. Then, three special guests...

FIRST PITCH: The last six years have made the ten-year old me come all. It's been a fun with some great ups and some low lows.  Check out the top 3 ups and downs of the last 6 years. 

11:08 SHOW. ME. THE. MERCH: The Astros have a rich uniform history.  And I own most of them. Check out my ranking of Astros looks.  I've got just about all of them, with one particular exclusion.  Never the red and black.

19:13 WORLD SERIES SOCIAL: The heart of the episode. In a very 'Let's Get Two' approach, we get 4 fans of four teams together to talk about their love of their team and winning a world series in their lifetimes. 

The rules: have some fun, be respectful and talk ball. (No "mickey mouse' season, no 'it's been x number of years since the last one, no 'trash cans.').  Everything I hoped it would be.
