300 - Take This Job and Shove It.

Craig and Rex take on the big issues of the day for episode number 300 - Joshua Baez's historic debut, Ritchie Blackmore's return to Deep Purple (for one song), Tommy John's passing causes reassessment of his Hall of Fame Credentials, and John Paycheck (Johnny's son) is a nepo-baby we can support.

Errata: Yes, we know Roger Clemens (354 career wins) is not in the Hall of Fame, but unlike Tommy John, Clemens' exclusion is not on the merits.
