How about Elly de la Cruz passing Tony Gwynn this early in his career? Kind of insane. The greatest Rangers player of all time, plus what has happened to Shohei Ohtani's swing? Thank you for being a part of our family, take a moment to send this to a friend and have them join as well!

Welcome to another episode of "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" For those who are new here, Tim and Jeff Kurkjian, a father-son duo, chat with you about baseball three days a week. This week, we take time to remember Dave Parker, who passed away on June 28th and is set to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 27th.

We get excited because it is finally July, the month that is second only to October for Tim. Cal Ripken on this date, had something huge happen in his career, so did both Bob Gibson and Walter Johnson (hey, did we ever tell you that...)

When it comes to intentional walks, James Wood is doing it a lot this year but nobody did it better than Barry Bonds, we get some perspective on that. Two signatures that Tim got as a kid that have us baffled plus, and a special shoutout to a brand new podcast you definitely didn't know existed!

It is HOT across the country and our players, and your favorite podcast hosts, are feeling the heat. The takeaways include just how good this one AL East team has really become. The Quirkjians will shock you when it comes to strikeout numbers not just from one player but from the entire league in 2025. They also touch on the excitement surrounding the Oakland Athletics' move to Las Vegas, and Jeff's take after living in Las Vegas for five years.

On This Date, we say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the captain. We also explore the best players to ever wear number 23 and number 24, one of which Tim says is very obvious. We hear Tim's greatest Marlins player of all time, in spirit of guest from the previous episode, Dan Le Batard. The answer might suprise you given the small amount of time played for the team.

And finally, we hear from another Seamhead, you can send your audio note to Jeff@GreatGameOrWhat.com explaining what makes you a Seamhead as well. Thank you so much for listening and as always, thanks for being a part of our family.

Dan Le Batard is our guest this week and it's about time the roles are reveresed. Tim Kurkjian has been a guest with The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz for years, consistently cracking up at their hijanks and looks like, with very little baseball exchanged in those interviews.

We kept with that tradition and found time to chat about both of their humble beginnings as newspaper writers. We also discuss some of the best Looks Likes of all time and promote a very big crossover between both of their respective shows!
