How fitting? With the 2025 Super Bowl coming up this week, Tim and Jeff Kurkjian bring you a football packed episode that is perfect for all baseball fans. Our guest is Phil Nevin, who was a college football and baseball player and a long-time MLB player. He later became a coach and then a Major League manager of a team that had both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. We asked him about that. We also delve into the nuances of football with the former kicker. And we discussed the amazing crossover that happens between football and baseball when it comes to these incredible athletes.

Can't ask for a better guest other than Bobby Valentine. He was drafted by the Dodgers as a player, played and managed the New York Mets and also managed in Japan.

The four remaining teams have got us all excited for a potential World Series matchup. We hear about the Best of All Tim team that involves only guests of our show (and boy is it a great list). We get the help of our friends at Strat-O-Matic to simulate just how good Japanese players are. Finally, we hear about what Eddy Perez and Tim will be doing in New York!
