Just went through and answered these. Video coming toward the end of the week!

What are some other "Merkle's Boner"ian moments in the game, particularly the last 25-30 years? Think more Hanley's error in Kershaw's no-no, less Bartman.

Tyler Rubner

What do you think is the most overrated baseball film, along with the most underrated? Also, what moment in baseball would you like to see get adapted into a film?

Favorite player of all time and who you think is the G.O.A.T

Ghoulish Baseball Rosenberg

What do you think baseball's prospects in the future are? The game went from the national pastime, to a bit of a tragedy, and seems to be on the uptick; but where do you think it will be 10, 25, 50 years from now? Also, will my baseball cards ever be worth what they once were? The Future of Baseball Is International didn't have enough prognostication for my needs.

How highly would you value clutch, leadership, and other factors that you can't put a number to in voting for awards or even the hall of fame?

Colin Warren

What's your favorite statistical outlier for a player? For example, Joe Mauer hitting 20% of his career dongs in 2009. He had 28 that year and never got more than 13 any other year.

Hey Foolish, love your work. You’ve been filling the baseball void for me. Have you seen The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience, and a followup question, why is it the best piece of media ever created? By the way, I know you’ve said that people have asked you to do a video on 1968 Bob Gibson, but I think an even better idea would be a video on The Year of the Pitcher in general. (But I’m a Tigers fan, so of course I want you to talk about 1968. But also, it would lead to a good climactic point in the video with Gibson, McLain, and Mickey Lolich all in the World Series.)

Most MVPs or Cy Youngs in the next decade?

Joseph Swayze

what did you think of the 2019 twins

Daniel Freedman

Who would you choose to be the captain of your professional baseball team? (can be current or historical players)

Daniel Freedman

How do you separate (or can you separate) a players exceptional on-field performance from there less-than-stellar conduct off the field? e.g. Ty Cobb's violence, Pete Rose's gambling, the prejudices of players like Rogers Hornsby and Tris Speaker.

Lucas Berg

Can you talk more about when you played for the braves in 2001?

Daniel Freedman

How do you feel personally about PEDs? Does usage of PEDs invalidate a player's performance on the field?

Daniel Freedman

What are your thoughts about the foreign market for baseball? Do you see a future for professional baseball as an international league with teams outside of the U.S. being on par with the MLB?

Buck Johnson

F***, Marry, Kill: Tim Anderson, Yasiel Puig, Juan Soto

William Brooks

What is your relationship with the Nationals? You’ve done a few videos about them and I’ve seen you talk about them on Twitter a few times. Are you a fan?
