212 - Ken Johnson Has a Secret

This week Craig and Rex take a deep dive into Houston's Jose Abreu and Rafael Montero contract fiascos and come away glad we're not the Angels. In Part 2, Ken Johnson did something on an April week night in 1964 that had never been done before in a Major League game - and hasn't been done since.

Errata: Mike Trout, if healthy, could have played a possible 648 games since 2020.
