In this episode, Matthew talks about the MLB. Major League Baseball is in full force in spring training. Matthew gives us an update on the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, and could the city of Pittsburgh be getting a new stadium? Matthew provides the details. Out of the Houston Astros World Series team, the only player to really be left remaining is Jose Altuve. Altuve has been playing left and the Astros new park went from Minute Maid to Daikin Park. The Astros Foundation will also provide scholarship funds to local Houston high school graduates.

Matthew also gives us an update on the NFL. Did Bill Belichick try and get a "Hard Knocks" tv show to film for the University of North Carolina? It looks like it won't happen because of NFL Films.

Matthew also talks about the passing of legendary actor Gene Hackman. Hackman played coach Norman Dale in "Hoosiers" and coach Jimmy McGinty in "The Replacements." Both great films about sports. All this and more on The Matthew Paris Show.
