ich starts off the hour recapping the Yankees’ remarkable turnaround and how they re-shaped their team at the trade deadline with their Anthony Rizzo and Joey Gallo acquisitions.

Rich reflects on the anniversary of then-MLB Commissioner Bart Giamatti banishing Pete Rose from baseball for life for gambling.

Rich wraps up the hour reacting to Bills WR Cole Beasley, an outspoken opponent of Covid vaccinations, getting sent home from the team’s camp for being a close contact of someone who tested positive.
