So episode 200 came and went, but the guys wanted to go back and commemorate #200 in some way...so they just name 200 former and current baseball players. Most are actually named conversationally, so we do get a lot of random, scattered baseball talk throughout. Be sure to listen for the stories Jeremy tells about helping destroy the Declaration of…
