Episode Synopsis

BT and Sal put aside their usual criticisms to acknowledge the unrivaled success of the Yankees franchise, especially after clinching yet another playoff spot. They challenged any fan to name a better franchise they'd rather switch places with, highlighting the Yankees' near-guaranteed annual postseason berths as an achievement few teams can match. Sal pointed to the Mets' struggles this year, despite a massive payroll, as a prime example of how difficult sustained success is, arguing that the Yankees' run of consistency is a remarkable feat that fans often take for granted. The Yankees, they concluded, are simply the gold standard in baseball, whether you like it or not.
