Titanic was setting box office records, Bill Clinton was trying to avoid sinking, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was atop the billboard charts in the fall of 1998 — and across the United States, jacked ball players hitting "jacks" had never been more prominent.   In the first episode of Incomplete Past, Ian and Andrew travel to 1998 and join the home run race to break Roger Maris's mark of 61 home runs in a single season.  What were the takes at the time? What have we learned since? How does all this apply today? Jump aboard for a nostalgic ride to the past and a curious look at what might come next.  In this episode, Ian and Andrew ask... what the reactions were at the time if hindsight changes our views of "the summer that saved baseball" in light of recent events with the Houston Astros, whether baseball has an accepted culture of cheating In the final segment, the guys challenge each other to "roid era" trivia.
