Everything from worst ownership, to best meme, Chappell Roan (?), dugout brawls, worst White Sox moment, how the Haters were right, and a WHOLE lot more.

Moneyball, A League of Their Own, Field of Dreams, The Sandlot, Bull Durham, Major League...and many more!

On the first ever 7th episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier is joined by Aram Leighton (Co-founder of Just Baseball, host of The Call Up) to have an episode on all things Scott Boras! The two start off doing a primer on how the "controversial" baseball agent is viewed by the general public, before getting into the many, many, MANY quotes he's said regarding his clients — from Bryce Harper, to James Paxton and Marcus Semien, to even roasting the city of Miami — over the years and compile their definitive top-5 list. And of course, the awards of the week!

On the first ever sixth episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier is joined by Ethan Budowksy (social media editor and staff writer for Just Baseball) to discuss all things City Connect! They dive DEEP into Ethan's rankings of all 22 uniforms revealed thus far (where do the just-released Rays land? Are the Orioles truly that bad? Which Chicago uniform is better?), hand out some superlative awards for each, and then get into the biggest cringe moment in baseball over the last week! Oh yeah, it's a good one.

On the FOURTH ever episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier is joined by New York Tims bestselling author Keith O'Brien to discuss his latest book, Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball. They discuss the inspiration behind the book, why Pete Rose became such a beloved player in the first place, the impact on the Cincinatti community, and comparing his saga with that of Shohei Ohtani's!

On the third ever episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier switches things up from the silly (at least a little) to welcome on writer (e.g. The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune) and accomplished author (e.g. Sometimes You See it Coming, Dreamland, Paradise Alley) to discuss his latest book, The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City. The two discuss the book, the history of baseball in New York, how each era of the city dictated the direction of the sport, funny chapter names, and of course this week's awards: topics we'd love to see books be done on and most intimidating players EVER!!

On the SECOND EVER episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier is joined by San Francisco Giants enjoyer Marc Delucchi (SB Nation, SFGate, Bayside Baseball) to give their own...different kind of predictions for the 2024 MLB season! Instead of MVPs and division winners, the two go into the more bonkers side of things, featuring predictions on everything from video game announcements to the new City Connect uniforms. But of course, no spoilers, so you'll have to tune in to find out!

Javi guides our first journey through the world of broadcaster calls. But, we're not talking about David Freese's walk-off, or Barry Bonds' 756th. Why does a French accent make sense during a Wild Card game? How do "Hello" and "Goodbye" provide perfect juxtaposition in Denver? What do Pierce Johnson, Brad Hand, and Miles Mastrubuoni have in common?
