Catching Heat hosts Mike Blewitt and former Yankees catcher Jim Leyritz discuss the MLB playoff picture, Leyritz's thoughts on the recent Wild Card changes, and his assessment of Aaron Boone's first season as the New York Yankees manager stating that despite all of the criticism, Boone was still able to get a team that was riddled with injuries to 100 wins.
Jim and Mike are later joined by former Yankee legend Bernie Williams. Leyritz and Bernie recall their memories as teammates in the 90s and tell the story of the Yankees pre-game jam band that consisted of John Wetteland, Paul O'neill, and Bernie Williams.
