Peter and Jack have some "Honorable-Honorable-Honorable-Mentions" before they get into the top 10 outfielder list.

There is also a stat about the Yankees that Peter finds really disheartening. Follow...

Peter & Jack have plenty to say about the All-Star starters. So many snubs and storylines to go over, and Peter gets riled up about Cedric Mullens. There are a lot of outfielders to rank.

Jack & Peter postponed the Top 20 Outfielders Episode to fill out their All-Star Ballots. The National League shortstop & catcher position are pretty easy, as is the American League DH. The National League third baseman, not so easy. Peter had fun watching Kumar Rocker in Omaha but fell apart emotionally watching the Yankees get swept. Did you know 11.4% of Yankees' baserunners have scored this season. That's the worst in baseball. They make their College World Series prediction between ...
