This episode is a bit of a random mish-mash of topics all over the sports history map. Shawn and Howie start off by discussing the passing of the first great pitcher for the San Diego Padres. Randy Jones won the Cy Young Award in 1976, winning 22 games and completing 25 of his 40 starts. He pitched 315.1 innings that year to lead the majors. But his 1975 season might have been even better. Howie explains why. The boys examine Major League Baseball's new agreement with ESPN, Netflix and NBC is back in the baseball business too. They talk about the good old days of the NBC Game of the Week and Curt Gowdy, Joe Garagiola, Tony Kubek and the great Vin Scully. A gruesome anniversary passed this week. In November of 1985, Lawrence fell on Joe Theismann's leg while tackling him and grotesquely broke his tibia and fibula. It was on Monday Night Football. They also tackle the question of whether or not Alex Ovechkin's #8 should be retired league-wide. They finish the show by talking about a couple of reunions that each of them experienced in the past week.
