This week, in lieu of letting the feed go dark on a holiday week, we're sharing the first 30 minutes of our 'Angels in the Outfield' watchalong — a commentary track meant to be played alongside the movie. You can get access to the rest of this episode and our whole bonus episode back catalogue on Patreon.

If you're interested in more movie watchalongs but aren't a patron, you can buy access to only the movie commentaries here.

For their final installment in Main Character Month, Bobby and Alex examine what has made up the DNA of a professional baseball owner over the sport's long history, charting the evolution of the ownership class alongside distinct eras of the game and American history. All told, they choose five owners that are most emblematic of how the "median owner" has changed over the decades. In doing so, they ask what we can learn about baseball's present and future for understanding the people who were in charge in the past.

If you can't [redacted] them, you might as well understand them!
