Summary
Actor Hank Azaria is perhaps best known for his work voicing multiple classic characters on The Simpsons, but he's also the star of the hit show Brockmire.

Today we're joined by Azaria, a big baseball fan himself, to talk about his love of the Mets and his work on Brockmire, which is airing its final season on IFC, and the Simpson. We'll also be joined by Jim Brockmire to talk about how he is getting through life without sports.
