For Episode 5 of the Box Score Show, Kevin Chroust and Chris DeSalvo take you back to May 17, 1979 and the era of disco, mustaches aplenty and, on this day, dingers.

Our latest episode focuses on basketball, which quickly followed in the footsteps of its baseball contemporaries by embracing the data revolution. But by doing so, it ignited an – at times – public divide which boiled up into wars of words and shows no sign of slowing down.
