Remembering Nationals owner Ted Lerner; MLB Ghost Runner is here for good: here's why; Crisis on campus: NMSU basketball hazing and Michigan State shooting (Episode 754)

Today’s word of the day is ’Ted Lerner’ as in the principal owner of the Washington Nationals. Ted Lerner died yesterday at the age of 97. Let me take a few minutes to speak on Ted, our friendship, and his life. (6:40) MLB made rule changes because of covid and they’re here to stay. You hate the ghost runner? TOO BAD! There will now be a runner on 2nd in extra innings for good. (20:35) The World Baseball Classic is almost here and every front office is scared. Nestor Cortes has a hamstring issue and he’s out. Questionable for the season opener now. This is why the front office hates the World Baseball Classic! Injuries! (28:00) Review: True Spirit. (34:30) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about what’s going on at New Mexico State right now. The basketball team canceled its season. There’s been a player involved in a shooting. There’s been players involved in hazing. Coaches suspended. Absolute mess. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. We know today's show ended a little dark, but it's necessary to speak on these issues.
