Jake, Eric, and Cameron welcome Randy and Cliff to the show to choose their roster of the 12 greatest baseball players in history. They choose starting pitchers, relievers, closers, catchers, and infield, outfield, and designated hitter. Between rounds, Eric asks ridiculous and inane questions about baseball rules and rule changes, and mostly the panel scoffs and blows Eric off.
