Tim Kurkjian takes us to Atlanta for what was a fascinating week of All Star Game magic. The Homerun Derby was electric, with exclusive moments from Cal Raleigh's dad. Plus the amazing honor for Hank Aaron in Atlanta, core memory for us all. And then of course, the All Star Game finish was just UNREAL. Some purists didn't love it, but we sure were obsessed. The fans, the players, the managers, all were into and it made for incredible television. We dive into that. Both Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson share this common thread plus just how good was Joe DiMaggio's streak? We have a reason to go into it. Thanks for listening or watching, make sure to hit that subscribe or follow button and share this podcast with a friend.

Is This A Great Game, Or What?

Tim Kurkjian is in Atlanta covering the All Star Game this weekend. The Homerun Derby on ESPN Radio will feature him in the booth and for the All Star Game, he will be in the dugout for ESPN Radio as well. Don't be fooled, Tim never comes to a show unprepared and today is no different. You will be sipping from a firehose with the amount of absolutely incredible ASG memories this man has. We revisit a couple takeaways including Tito Francona's big milestone, The MLB Draft and honor a listener who LOVES the ASG with our "I Am A Seamhead" segment. If you know someone who loves this game as much as we do, make sure to share the show with them. Whether you listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube, thank you for being a part of our family!

Is This A Great Game, Or What?

We are on location this week for the episode at a place both Tim and Jeff grew up going to! We sat down with Bruce Adams of the Bethesda Big Train about the amazing life that college players have playing the wood bat league! It's a really special place and we cannot thank Bruce and his team enough for having us. We also dive into takeaways including what the heck is going on with inside the park homers and why Justin Turner's 200th homerun was actually insane. On this date in baseball history, we dive deep for these and also talk about the greatest number 27 and number 28 of all time. Plus did you know who (in Tim's opinion) is the greatest Toronto Blue Jay of all time? And we wrap things up with a Team Tim in honor of the newest manager in the big leagues! Visit GreatGameOrWhat.com to contact the show with your questions, quips and insights.
