In our latest episode, the three nerds have a look at May 10th throughout history. This episode rewards listeners with lots of interesting, fun facts from the sports world. Plus, we did it all while wearing our brand new sweaters from Cabin! (Yes, after all the hint-dropping and begging we finally got them). This episode has great stories about Michael Sam's historic NFL draft day, Hank Aaron's most unique home run swing, Steph Curry setting yet another precedent, the ABA/NBA merger and the most iconic moment of Bobby Orr's career. Plus - our efforts to talk more European football begin; the first triple crown winner in American horse racing history; the first pitcher to appear in 1,000 MLB games; Tom Brady heads to the booth; Wilt Chamberlain's final game; the myth of Russ' triple/doubles and why Patrick Lalime is kind of the Bill Buckner of hockey. Additionally - and at no extra charge - award-winning actor Nigel Downer (from CBS' Ghosts, CBC's Baroness Von Sketch show) joins us to decide which of us won this week's DORK DRAFT. Our topic - who were the best late-round draft picks in each sport's history? Dig in for some fun and maybe a little bit of learnin', too, y'all!
