In this clip from the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnists Paul Zeise and Jason Mackey to debate MLB's decision to include Negro League stats in its official record book.

Our trio tackles those topics and more.
