Highlights include PED suspensions, massive contracts, and bizarre events like drones on the field. They delve into unique stories including the crazy way Tom Hanks keeps score, strange happenings in college baseball, and curious historical anecdotes. The duo revisits historic MLB debuts and milestones, debates baseball cycles, and uncovers oddities like a cursed 1919 World Series baseball.
