In this conversation, journalist and author Dan Schlossberg discusses various topics related to baseball. The conversation begins with a discussion about integrating the stats from the Negro Leagues into Major League Baseball (MLB) records. Schlossberg expresses his belief that integrating the stats is a mistake due to the lack of accurate records and the inability to compare players from different eras. The conversation then shifts to the importance of recognition for the players of the Negro Leagues and the discrimination that Hank Aaron faced throughout his career. The discussion also touches on the issue of gambling in baseball and the impact it has on the game. When talking new rules Schlossberg criticizes the automatic runner rule in extra innings and expresses his frustration with the changes made to the All-Star Game voting process. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the pitching staff of the Philadelphia Phillies and the changes in pitching strategies over the years.
