About this episode
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar sits down with Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts to debate St. Louis pizza vs. Chicago deep dish, what it was like playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic, and why Shohei Ohtani's level of fame reminds them of Michael Jordan. They also discuss his Japanese heritage, his crazy story of being recruited by Duke to play football, what's led to the Cardinals' success so far this year, and they play a game of 'Noot or Not'.
