We enjoyed reminiscing on our favorite baseball memories and challenging each other with some tough questions.

- First baseball memory you can remember

-Favorite pitch

-Best swing growing up (excluding Griffey)

- Favorite WS your team was not in

In this episode we are joined by Matt Fry, Brandon Wilhoite and special guest Marc Carig of The Athletic.

When MLB first shut down, Marc Carig tweeted out "Something to pass the time." And challenged the universe to top his lineup for a must-win baseball game. And the universe answered back. As the weeks passed, Carig followed up this tweet with an article on The Athletic highlighting some of his favorite responses, and MLB shared some lineups from players. We used these lineups in simulation games and will come out with a champion.

We also chatted about the possibilities of a MLB season in 2020
