## Resource

It’s Episode 8 of Baseless, which officially means we've outlasted most podcasts (despite having zero sponsors, questionable baseball expertise, and an unhealthy obsession with athletes' personal lives). In this episode, we recap everything from MLB's All-Star festivities to the Blue Jays' post-break heartbreak, while trying very hard to remain optimistic. Along the way, we fall down several rabbit holes, including why Dylan Cease's brain should probably be donated to science, why the Home Run Derby is criminally underrated, and which athletes have us completely rethinking our Hot or Just Talented? rankings. We also dive headfirst into the world of baseball WAGs, or as we prefer to call them, PAFBs (partners and “buddies”). From photographers and dentists to Olympic gold medallists and supermodels, we're celebrating the incredible women behind some of baseball's biggest names and proving, once again, that the off-field stories are often even more interesting than what happens between the foul lines. Of course, no episode of Baseless would be complete without confidently explaining baseball terms incorrectly, debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza, crowning our Boyfriend of the Week, and sharing the kind of sports opinions that absolutely nobody asked for. Be sure to leave us a rating and review!
