On this episode of the Knowledge Bar a special guest joins us as we’re taking a break from football and looking to spring training. America loves baseball….right? We are going to dive into “America’s Game”. What’s going on with baseball? Is it actually dying? Why do we love it? How can it compete in an increasingly competitive sports market?

On top of all of that we’ll talk a bit about executive orders that are changing the way we talk, live and work, the NHL’s first attempt at a new format for all-star weekend, and we’ll say goodbye to loose change.
