Alex and Bobby talk about absurdity that went into creating the Nationals' World Series ring and whether Baby Shark deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. They also talk about the precedent that it sets to let broadcasts pipe fake crowd noise into broadcasts, and why we're having the player vs. owner conversation all wrong. Finally, they take a look at some of baseball's oldest traditions, ruminate on their origins, and decide whether to give them the boot.
