Our 20th episode!! Before embarking on a short summer break (don't worry, we'll get back to recording in July), we go out on a high note. With hilarious and detailed discussions about big-time sports luminaries like John McEnroe, Joe Louis, Diego Maradona, Eric Lindros, David Robinson and Carlton Fisk. There's also bits on the Skydome falling apart, the collapse of the Montreal Maroons, a failed attempt at a new NBA game ball, Luis Castillo's hitting streak, the Karate Kid, Randy Couture and Kurt Warner. Plus, we may have saved our best guest for the last episode of Season One. This DORK DRAFT has us picking the best father/son combos in MLB history and who better to judge it than former Gold Glove-winning outfielder Jose Cruz Jr? Following in the huge footsteps of his All-Star father's 19 year MLB career, Junior made a tremendous name for himself in the bigs - including being one of only two Toronto Blue Jays ever to have a 30/30 season. Now Head Coach of the Rice University baseball team, Jose is an unusually thoughtful, articulate and funny guest and I think we set a record for the longest guest chat yet because we all loved hearing his thoughts so much. You don't want to miss a minute.
