When Vin Scully received the George H.W. Bush Distinguished Alumnus Award from the College Baseball Hall of Fame, the Cut4Cast staff learned that everyone's favorite Dodgers broadcaster once played baseball against the former president. Of course, that meant that Michael Clair, Dakota Gardner and Gemma Kaneko immediately began speculating on the historical figures they'd most like to share the diamond with.

They also talked about what to do with ballparks in the offseason (inspired by Petco Park's nine-hole golf course), and shared their tips for getting through the offseason doldrums.
