About The Baseball Argument
From the publisher's feed
Every morning, Baseball Nation Network puts one irresistible baseball question on the table and lets two people who will never agree go at it.
Jack Callahan spent thirty years in press boxes and remembers the game like a library. Evan Brooks came up on Statcast and believes nostalgia quietly rewrites history. Could Tony Gwynn hit .400 today? Ohtani or Ruth — you get ONE. Was Nolan Ryan actually overrated? Would Greg Maddux survive against today's hitters?
This is not shouting. It's two smart people making the best possible case for opposite conclusions — and forcing you to pick a side.
Jack Callahan and Evan Brooks are fictional personalities created and voiced by Baseball Nation Network. They are not real people, and BNN never presents them as such. The baseball facts they argue over are real.
