We're back, true believers!! Episode 3, Season 1 is upon us and we're finally dipping our toes into the wild-world of professional baseball. Eddie Gaedel's single MLB at-bat is one of the most memorable moments in baseball history. Gaedel, who stood just 3 feet 7 inches tall, was signed to a one-day contract by the St. Louis Browns in 1951 thanks to the efforts of legendary baseball promoter, Bill Veeck. In his only at-bat, Gaedel came to the plate wearing a jersey with the number "1/8" on it and a miniature baseball bat. He took a strike and then walked on four straight pitches, much to the amusement of the crowd.

Plus, Famo and Randal dig into some bonus TOPICAL sports content at the end, as they debate Aaron Rodgers to the Jets and Heat-Knicks in the 90's throwbacks series!!
