78 - The Voices of Baseball
Mark and Andy are joined by special guest Kirk McKnight, author of <i>The Voices of Baseball: The Game's Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America's Pastime</i> to talk about the newest edition of the book, as well as the usual assortment of baseball statistics, odds, and ends. McKnight brings to the episode a wealth of knowledge about MLB's teams, players, and stadiums culled from dozens of interviews with the broadcasters baseball fans have come to know and love. McKnight indulges Mark and Andy in their advanced stats-inclined views on the game, and even joins them in a lively round of Roll The Stat, in which the participants guess the career strikeout-per-nine rates for pitchers who became broadcasters themselves after they retired. Just like the book itself, it's an entertaining and informative way to spend some time that any baseball fan would enjoy.

77 - Boones vs. Bells
Mark and Andy determine once and for all who the first family of baseball is, the Boones or the Bells. Taking into account multiple pieces of data, both stats-based and otherwise, the competition between these uncannily-matched combatants comes down to the wire and a surprising finish gives a slight edge to the gang you might not expect. Your hosts finish up the episode with a less-close round of Roll The Stat, America's Favorite Baseball Stat Guessing Game, in which career caught stealing totals are guessed. It's an hour of full-fledged family baseball fun, finally.
