This week, in lieu of letting the feed go dark on a holiday week, we're sharing the first 30 minutes of our 'Angels in the Outfield' watchalong — a commentary track meant to be played alongside the movie. You can get access to the rest of this episode and our whole bonus episode back catalogue on Patreon.

If you're interested in more movie watchalongs but aren't a patron, you can buy access to only the movie commentaries here.

For their final installment in Main Character Month, Bobby and Alex examine what has made up the DNA of a professional baseball owner over the sport's long history, charting the evolution of the ownership class alongside distinct eras of the game and American history. All told, they choose five owners that are most emblematic of how the "median owner" has changed over the decades. In doing so, they ask what we can learn about baseball's present and future for understanding the people who were in charge in the past.

If you can't [redacted] them, you might as well understand them!

In their latest Main Character Month installment, Bobby and Alex are joined by writer and organizer David Hill to discuss the monumental legacy of Marvin Miller, the first executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association and one of the most important figures in the history of sports and labor. Among other things, they talk about Miller's path to baseball, his various experience at the Wartime Labor Board and the United Steelworkers, the legacy he left for the players union, how he was covered vs. how sports labor fights are covered now, and more.
