Next up, Pete’s old friend, legendary baseball scribe Rob Neyer, joins to talk about the state of the game, his SABRcast pod, and why you should probably fade the Dodgers to win the World Series.
Last but not least in an after credits special, Daniel Butterfield joins PTF for a little musical interlude. Learn more about him at danielbutterf.com.

Correction–Tony Fernandez was a September call-up in 1983, Key pitched in early April 1984 and Pocoroba was with still with the Braves at the time, so every player’s career overlapped with Pocoroba’s.
