Episode 2457: Cheat Week, Tiny Dancers, Home Run Records, Memorabilia Money, Hip Hop Forever
It has been a week of hip-hop, and of cheating, on Second Captains.
After the scandals that have rocked chess, boxing, fly-fishing, poker, and Irish dancing, we turn our attention to the purity of the home run record in baseball.
We talk to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post about Aaron Judge’s 62 home runs this year, Barry Bonds, and if that matters any more in light of what we now know about steroid use in baseball in the early 2000s.
Plus there’s memorabilia money, Eoin McDevitt’s Irish dancing past, his shameful abuse of our native tongue, football’s search for eyeballs, and permutations man faces his toughest ever test ahead of the Ireland – Scotland World Cup playoff.
