Jayson Stark from ESPN brings his Rumblings and Grumblings to the DL to talk (what else) BASEBALL!

We talk about the myriad of responsibilities he has at the WWL and ask him to compare what he does now to being a beat writer.  It’s also a wonder to us how he manages to keep such a light-hearted and genuinely excited tone with both his writing, and his ‘alternative’ media endeavors.

We talk about the All-Star game marathon, including the pre-game ceremonies that had many of the living Hall of Famers.  We also ask why it was ‘many’ and not ‘all’ of the living Hall of Famers, bringing up the specific examples of Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Sandy Koufax.

We spin the Koufax talk to Stark’s book, where he named Koufax the most overrated lefty of all time.  Wow. 

We end with some talk about the Phillies and while we all still think they CAN win the division, we wonder IF that will happen.
