Ch. CXLIV: The Rookie of the Year Episode after Getting Our Arm Casts Off!

The Five Dollar Bin w/ Mark and Rick

Mark, Rick and Brian have a "reviewsit" of the baseball flick Rookie of the Year in honor of its 25th anniversary, while also briefly chatting on the recent heat wave experienced in the Northeast. Mark shares the elaborate story of seeing it for the first time with a giant bag of Twinkies, the lads discuss the key role of the announcer in sports movies and Brian relays how he attended a Cubs game where the first pitch was coincidentally thrown out by one of the film's stars. The fellas also try to figure out how sound waves magically travel throughout certain parts of Wrigley Field, touch upon Gary Busey vs. Nick Nolte confusion and they meet the odd characters of "The Baby Inquirer" and "The Underwear Snitcher." You'll be funky butt-lovin' this one, so get your catcher's mitt ready because it's coming in hot....like the HIGH, STINKY, CHEDDAR!
