Our four-part series on baseball's unwritten rules wraps up by talking to the one player this subject seems to revolve around: the pitcher. Join Christian Heimall on Caught Listening as he talks with a former Major Leaguer on how and when certain rules are broken and the discussions that happen in the dugout.

It's not just any Major Leaguer either joining the show. The 1987 World Series MVP, and 1988 Cy Young Award winner, Frank Viola is on the program to give his thoughts on this controversial topic. How does he perceive the notion that many of the rules are made to protect a pitchers ego? When does a position player go to far? What happens when the opposing pitcher instigates something and what scenarios make the unwritten rules go away? Plus, Frank lends his thoughts on how the way players police these rules has changed from his time as a player, to now as a profesisonal pitching coach.

Frank also takes your listener questions including his favorite Tom Seaver story. Be sure to search "Caught Listening by Public House Media" on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. You can also email the show at [email protected]
