Aging Like Fine Wine

Episode Summary

Justin Verlander at 39 years old is as unhittable as he's ever been with a 1.95 ERA, truly getting better with age. Meanwhile, Tony La Russa has to be reminded by his fans which moves to make, quite the opposite of Verlander. We have a jam packed show that talks about these topics and more like Serena Williams, Pete Carril, Jurickson Profar, and the MLB Field of Dreams missed opportunity.

Episode Notes

• Justin Verlander, like a fine wine, is getting better by the year! At 39 years old he is sporting a 1.95 ERA, the lowest of his career. On the flip side, Tony La Russa has fans telling him the proper moves to make during a game, and this past Monday he might have listened. 
• Coach Al offers a tribute to legendary tennis star Serena Williams following her retirement news. 
• The MLB missed a tremendous opportunity to have last week’s Field of Dreams game be the Yankees vs Dodgers instead of Cubs vs Reds – what a difference!
• Pete Carril passed away and we share the wonderful career he had at Princeton and the unique offense he brought to the basketball court.
• Jurickson Profar’s MUST SEE taunting fiasco at Miami makes us wonder if the Padres have the discipline to survive deep into the playoffs?
