Summary
Chris and Rob explain how the New York Mets unintentionally disrespected both Tom Seaver and Jackie Robinson when they chose to unveil Seaver's statute on Jackie Robinson Day, preview tonight's NBA Play-In Tournament games, and take a trip out to Shekel City for Rob's nightly bets. Plus, former AL Manager of the Year Jerry Manuel swings by to discuss the Seaver snafu, what Robinson meant to baseball and sports in general, the overreliance on analytics in today's game, and much more!
