Episode 9 -- We Dig the Long Ball

It's time for our second fantasy draft.  This time we're talking the longball. We reminisce about our personal favorite longballs before each drafting a team of sluggers -- with the caveat that we can only draft one player from a given decade.  We clearly overthought it and didn't draft Hank Aaron.
