In the first episode of The Greatest recorded from quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, Megan and C.J. take a trip to the good old days; you know, the days when we could go out and see a sporting event. The times we would be around our fellow human beings - cheering, laughing, bickering, eating a hotdog and ultimately sharing in the experience of being a sports fan together. While we wait for sports to come back, join The Greatest duo as they hearken back to the past and discuss some of the best venues in sports.
