Episode 78: Tom Terrific and The Franchise

On this week's episode, we pay tribute to Tom Seaver and Lou Brock, two first-ballot Baseball Hall of Famers who passed away last week at the ages of seventy-five and eighty-one respectively. From there, we discuss the Yankees free-fall in the American League standings, a near brawl between the Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays stemming from an Aroldis Chapman fastball, who would be considered the "face of the franchise" for each MLB team, Mike Trout's 300th career home-run and Clayton Kershaw's 2500th career strikeout, the Rockies 25-run outburst, and Mike Rizzo's extension with the Nationals.
