Day 1 of our “Best Of Week” features a great listen for all Penn State fans! Joining Steve is Penn State football historian Lou Prato! Lou is the former director of the Penn State All-Sports Museum in Beaver Stadium and shares excellent information on the 100-year series between the Pittsburgh Panthers and Nittany Lions.

Enjoy some of the best conversations from the show! This hour, ESPN Senior Writer Tim Kurkjian talks about the National Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2019. Also, we replay Steve’s interview with Pittsburgh Steelers running back Merril Hoge to learn more about his book, “Brainwashed,” on concussions and whether playing football causes CTE symptoms or not.

Steve’s brother Kevin Jones and Tim Kelly (Host of the daily “Locked on Phillies” Podcast and Editorial Director on Phillies Nation dot com) makes his show debut to discuss where pitcher Jake Arrieta currently is health-wise, whether the Phillies will buy or sell at the trade deadline and where they should set their priorities plus the organization’s talent level on the minor league squads including the progress of Mickey Moniak and Alec Bohm.
