Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1993 film, "Rookie of the Year," in which young Henry Rowengartner's broken arm heals in such a way that he can now throw a blazing fastball. Ellen lists all of the reasons why the Chicago Cubs clearly have no other relief pitchers, while Eric comes up with either the best or worst little league team name.
