Description

As lighthearted and jovial as we tend to be in Starkville, we know when silent reverence and reflection are necessary. With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 taking place last weekend, Jayson and Doug reminisce about that day, where they were, what they were doing, and the tragedy's impact two decades later. Cleveland Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti chimes in with his 9/11 memories, too, before the trio embark on a discussion about the team's name-change saga. How was the name Guardians chosen? What does the name embody? The triumvirate also chat Cleveland's beleaguered offense as well as Shane Bieber and Terry Francona's health. After another rollicking round of trivia, we contemplate why a third baseman is catching flyballs in right field, and how two giants, though each of different proportions, in the Big Apple, pushed the boundaries of sportsmanship.
