Steve interviews the First Lady of The Sports-Casters (00:5:50), Jane Leavy. Jane joins us to celebrate Mickey Mantle's 95th Birthday. Jane pulls no punches in describing her soul-crushing encounter with Mantle in 1983. Jane talks about Mantle being her guy, how Sandy Koufax was similar to Mickey, and tells us who her current favorite player in Major League Baseball is. Jane and Steve talk about Drew Brees, the status of the 2020 MLB season, and more.

Also, Yaron Weitzman (00:55:33) the author of a new book about tanking in sports and the Philadelphia 76ers. Yaron talks about the challenges of releasing a book in the middle of a global pandemic.
