Ep. 21 — On part one of this very special episode, Bobby and Alex are coming to you straight from the apartment of former MLB player and current sportswriter Fernando Perez. They talk with Fernando about everything from life in the minor leagues to how player development is changing. They also chat about players really knowing the game versus simply being able to play it, and ask the question, what makes a good GM, really? This was a really fun one, so make sure to check back in a couple days for part two! Follow Fernando on Twitter here.

Some of Fernando’s work:

The world’s greatest wiffle ball tournament

The evolution of sign stealing in baseball

On the art of the walk up song

Songs featured in the episode:

Paul McCartney and Wings — “Band on the Run” • Booker T. & the M.G.’s — “Green Onions”
