Show Notes
This week, we said goodbye to two absolute legends of baseball, Tom Sever and Lou Brock. The two helped define baseball for a generation of fans in the 1960s and 70s. TWIB sends our best to their families.
We break down the playoff picture in the National League with a foodie look at the best dishes from each of the contending cities.
This week on our "Fucking Vote" segment, we remind you that your vote affects those around you, not just you. Remember to register to vote in the US elections if you are eligible at https://www.vote.gov, or find information about the New Brunswick general election at https://www.electionsnb.ca/.
In honour of Roberto Clemente Day, players all across the league will be wearing number 21 on Wednesday, September 9, to commemorate the great player and humanitarian, potentially as part of a push to see his number retired across the sport.
