About this episode

The episode celebrates Jackie Robinson's impact on baseball while discussing various baseball topics and humorous anecdotes.

This week in Major League Baseball, we celebrate Jackie Robinson. He’s our GameChanger of the Week—but truly, he’s the GameChanger of the game. What he did for baseball cannot be overstated, and we’re proud to honor his legacy. Both Tim and Jeff moved mountains to bring you this episode. Jeff is still in Disney World with his family, while Tim is covering the Dodgers series in Los Angeles. Despite the time difference, busy schedules, and nonstop activity, they made it happen. Who’s the greatest “D” last name pitcher and hitter? Tim makes his case for both. Three Cards in the Bathroom features a very large bird. Jon Kruk makes yet another memorable appearance with one of his best lines. And just how big is Bruce Bochy’s head? We explain.
