Episode description

Baseball season was supposed to have kicked off this week, but instead we're in a global pandemic and everything is cancelled. So, we thought we'd discuss this overlooked baseball movie gem. The Billy Crystal directed film fallows Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle's historical 1961 baseball season. The film highlights the ups and downs the two hall of famers faced during their quest to break Babe Ruth's single season home run record.

Director: Billy Crystal Starring: Barry Pepper, Thomas Jane Hosts: Jordan Jones, Cameron Jones, Mark Nussle
