Episode 167 - Baseball Potpourri

We're nearing the All-Star Break in MLB, so we thought we'd talk about some baseball happenings:
  • St. Louis Cardinals being accused of hacking into Houston Astros' databases. 
  • All-Star balloting - at the time of this podcast recording:
    • NL: 3 Cardinals, 2 Marlins, 1 Diamondback, 1 Giant, 1 National
    • AL: 7 Royals, 1 Tiger, 1 Angel
  • Pete Rose found to have gambled as a player, thus destroying any remote possibility of inclusion into Cooperstown.
  • Alex Rodriguez joins the 3,000 hit club - and we briefly discuss the next closest guy, Ichiro Suzuki.
  • Baseball returning to Montreal?

Fair use: we end with a clip from The Simpsons where Mr. Burns tells Don Mattingly to "get rid of those sideburns."
