Plus, stories from servicemen, teachers, Uber drivers, and die-hard Giants and Cubs fans alike make this an episode you won’t want to miss.

Chuck, a die-hard Cubs fan, looks back on meeting Ron Santo in 1969 and relives the tension and triumph of the 2016 World Series rain delay. Brad describes seeing Willie Mays in person and praises Oracle Park and PNC as the best stadiums in baseball. Ray, the Uber driver turned guest, shares his inspiring story of coming to America from Venezuela and being welcomed onto the field at a Mariners game, later gaining VIP access to the White Sox clubhouse. Asia and Jamie, interviewed from a boat on the Chicago River, offer hilarious takes on bubblegum contests, nachos in souvenir hats, and a goose interrupting the game. Zach, a Giants fan from Tucson, speaks to the joy of community that sports can bring, remembering the NLCS win in 2010 as one of the best moments of his life.
