On this week's podcast (next week is number 100!), Paul and I did a round of baseball Mount Rushmores with our favorite listener, David. The idea comes from Pardon My Take, a favorite podcast of mine. With the NBA playoffs over and the NFL season not picking up until August, Mount Rushmore season fills the void for sports talk. After quizzing Paul on which four presidents were on Mount Rushmore, we did three baseball-themed Mount Rushmores.

Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
