The StewPod: Baseball, pop culture & more
Sports & Recreation:Professional
We've reached summer, when the NBA and NHL seasons come to a close and baseball is the star of the sports world. And this year, baseball's time in the sun is proving a little wacky.
The past week has seen Pete Rose getting in trouble for age-old gambling records, A-Rod getting No. 3,000 then having to fight a ballhawk for it, Pablo Sandoval getting in trouble for bathroom Instagram use, the ongoing All-Star voting foolishness, wild fan catches and more.
Here to discuss it all on this week's StewPod is Yahoo Sports baseball columnist Jeff Passan. Jeff's a guy who loves a good meal and has some pro wrestling knowledge tucked away in his brain, so we'll also have some fun with our "Important Questions" segment. Plus we'll get the scoop on Jeff's upcoming book, "The Arm."
