This week Craig and Rex continue their series on native Texans in the Baseball of Fame with 355-game winner Greg Maddux. Also, the Nolan Arenado trade talks will not go away, Pete Rose's family petitions the Commission to lift the all-time hits leader's lifetime ban now that his life is over, the Golden State Warriors own a record label and what do you know - some baseball players lie about their height.

Notes on the show: The Travis Stern episode about baseball and theater in the deadball era is No. 225. Here is the link to the Sports Illustrated story mentioned in the episode. Gaylord Perry did indeed win 300 games -- he won 314 to be exact.
