This week we're together in New York as we discuss the grand finale of the Astor Place riot which unfolded like a Looney Tunes style fight and Barry Bremen, the great sports impostor who posed as players for the MLB, the NBA, and a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. A listener email informs us of the official rubbing mud of Major League Baseball.
