On MLB The Show podcast with Larry:

#1 Larry, Former Los Angeles Dodger relief pitcher Charlie Haeger 37, who pitched for the Dodgers in 2010 was found dead from a self inflicted gun shot wound after being sought by police in Flagstaff Arizona for suspicion of murdering his girlfriend Danielle Breed 34. Haeger 37 who also pitched for the San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox had an ERA 6.40 in 83 career innings.

#2 Former Cincinnati Reds infielder Barry Larkin says that the Kenesaw Mountain Landis MVP Award should be something positive rather than something that’s negative. Landis banned blacks and minorities from playing in MLB during his reign as MLB Commissioner from 1920-1944.

#3 This past week baseball lost one of the greats St Louis pitcher Bob Gibson who was one of those pitchers in 1968 which was called “The Year of The Pitcher” and also the passing of former Los Angeles Dodger Jay Johnstone to Covid 19.

#4 The Oakland A’s will be starting Chris Bassitt in game 1 and Sean Manaea in game 2. Bassitt has been pitching lights out of late and Manaea is looking to make amends for the tough Wild Card outing he had last season in the one game Wild Card against the Tampa Bay Rays.

#5 Talk about the battle of the Southland between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. These are the two top teams from the NL West. The Dodgers are on a mission to get their first World Series since 1988 and the Padres are looking to get their first one ever.
