Hopefully, you got a chance to check out Monday's solar eclipse as it passed through Michigan or wherever you happen to be. And hopefully, you'll check out episode 280 of the Get Around podcast!

We of course talk about the eclipse, but we also get into the men's and women's NCAA basketball national championships. We dive into the prevalence of pitcher injuries in professional baseball and what can be done at the high school level to avoid a similar problem. 

We also talk about what made us happy in the last week, and that includes the "Showcase of the Immortals" — Wrestlemania — for two of us!

LISTEN NOW!
