We’re kicking off the baseball season with a double-header of awesome baseball games: Baseball Highlights 2045 and Bottom of the 9th! And you can’t forget it’s Wrestlemania season - we recorded today’s episode right before the show of shows and put last year’s WWE Superstar Showdown from Gale Force Nine on tap!
