This week, Brandon and Noah are joined by Going Deep writer Max Greenfield! We talk with Max about his experiences first playing baseball, and then working as an intern for the Washington Nationals. We also unearth the surprisingly long history of baseball's odd fascination with bobbleheads, and learn about "Houdini Acts!"
