Episode 4:44, and we’ve got some great news for these New Yorker hosts… the Yanks are in the playoffs! To celebrate the momentous occasion, we’ve welcomed newly-minted fan Barbara Gonzalez, our Associate Culture Editor, who found herself at that epic wildcard game that put the New York Yankees over the Minnesota Twins, with an 8-4 win.

As a fan who’s supported Newton for years, I do hope that his apology is a sincere one, and lessons are learned.

It takes heart to be a woman in the sports world, whether fan, athlete, or journalist. But we’re not going anywhere.
