Listen Later

Today is January 11, 2017. Travel back with me to this day in 1973. We’re in Chicago and I’ve brought you all here today to sit through a seven-hour Owner’s Meeting. But don’t worry, listeners, because by the end of the day the American League will have adopted a new rule that will remain the subject of fierce debate over 40 years later.
