EPISODE 123 - Clark and Hyung welcome Chris Begg, who pitched for Team Canada in both the Summer Olympics and the World Baseball Classic (WBC), as a guest host for this Friday episode. He shared his perspective on the WBC having pitched in the inaugural year (2006) and how the game is today. Plus, Chris talked about how he got into sports cards at a young age, opening up a card store with his brother in the basement of their mother's gift basket business.
With the MLB Opening Day kicking off this week, the guys discussed the major rule changes in baseball this season (ie. pitch clock, bigger bases, ban on shifts) and whether they thought it would attract more fans and viewers to the game (and subsequently if it would get more people to collect baseball cards).
Then they shared their thoughts on the big Fanatics announcement in partnership with MLB about all rookies this year wearing a special "MLB Debut" patch, which will then be taken off the jersey and inserted into a 1/1 trading card.
