Episode 162 – Dave Winfield Commits Murder Most Fowl

One of the best ballplayers and most incredible athletes in modern history, Dave Winfield’s baseball career should speak for itself. Unfortunately, two figures get in the way of that: George Steinbrenner and a stupid seagull, which was accidentally killed by a Winfield warmup toss 37 years ago this week. Mike and Bill examine all Winfield’s life, including the conflicts that came to overshadow so much of what he accomplished, but reserve time to marvel at what a singular talent Winfield was. Plus, happy birthday to Frank Howard and Tim Wakefield!
