Sept 2024 - Sports Lunatics - Shohei's Amazing Night, Sid the Kid's Extension, Jagr's Longevity
In this episode of The Sports Lunatics Show, Shawn and Howie look at the night that Shohei Ohtani created the 50-50 club -- 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in the same season. Was it the greatest night by a hitter in the history of baseball? Has Shohei become must-see TV? How likely was it that anyone could hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in the same season? The boys discuss that and a whole lot more, including Sidney Crosby signing an extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins for $8.7 million per season until the end of the 2026-2027 campaign. They also examine the longevity of the great Jaromir Jagr and they talk about some of the latest written stories that have appeared on thesportslunatics.com . 51:29 minutes.
