The calendar has turned to September, and while many pennant races have cooled off, we are just starting to heat up here at Midwest Sports Fans with our MLB Trivia Challenge Podcast sponsored by the M&A advisors and consultants at Generational Equity.

In Episode #11, White Sox fan Jerod and Indians fan Ari are joined by Al Beaton of BlessYouBoys.com, the blog of record for the Detroit Tigers at SBNation. Jerod and Ari had hoped that getting Al to discuss the Tigers’ playoff hopes would prove to be a jinx. It didn’t work out so well.

Last week, Will Leitch joined Ari and I on the latest episode of the MLB Trivia Challenge Podcast (all episodes here), which is sponsored by Generational Equity. Will and I did a decent job of answering the questions, but not nearly as good a job as you the listeners did.
