  We're a few days late with this week's episode but we have two great guests. Mark Simon was joined by former MLB manager Dusty Baker, whose new book, Crossroads , A Memoir in Baseball and Life came out this week. Mark and Dusty talked about how Hank Aaron was great at positioning the Braves outfielders, what stats Dusty kept handy in the dugout, how he used to make lineup decisions based on whether players were good low-ball hitters, why music and dancing are important in baseball, and more.
