The year was 1987. Mark and Andy were 10 years old and baseballs were flying out of ballparks. Your hosts take a look back at that wondrous time in their youth and try to gain a better understanding of who really were the kings of the diamond that season. Each team gets discussed in some detail, as each host takes a league and looks at the standings and the stars. Some names are expected, like McGwire and Dawson, while others are not so household, like Randy Ready and Garth Iorg. The episode ends with a tight round of Roll The Stat, the advanced baseball stat guessing game that helped us all through a pandemic.
