Tim and Jeff Kurkjian are live from Iron Hill Brewery for the first of their two All-Star Game specials. In today's episode, they look back at the first half of the season and break down what it all means for the stretch run. Expect plenty of takeaways, Quirkjians, and insight along the way. Then, they turn their attention to what promises to be an incredible Home Run Derby in Philadelphia, including Tim's absolutely epic All-Home Run Derby Team.

Tim Kurkjian impressions were a big thing back in the day, and he finally reveals which one he thinks is the best...but you'll have to wait for that. The strikeout rate continues to be one of the biggest storylines in baseball this season. Plus, remember the name Tyler Tolbert, because he's about to make history!
The Dodgers came close to setting a record for the fewest extra-inning games, while Andy Pages somehow gets compared to Dikembe Mutombo and Manute Bol—a comparison we definitely didn't see coming. And can you Weathers this Quirkjian? We're not sure you'll be able to.
On This Date features Robin Roberts, Ted Williams, and Alex Rios (no, not Jeff's father-in-law). Plus, Tim shares a hilarious ESPN taxi cab story involving a mistake that any diehard baseball fan could've made...right?
The Alphabest letter "P" gives us the perfect excuse to celebrate the incredible career of Albert Pujols while debating which "P" pitcher deserves a spot on the list. Jeff also pulls three cards from the 2001 box for Tim, including one featuring a player whose brother was a Major League umpire—a baseball connection most fans never knew.
Finally, a member of the Kurkjian family puts Tim to the test with Team Tim. It's a challenge that proves difficult for multiple reasons—sometimes because there just aren't enough options, and other times because there are far too many.
Join us LIVE in Philadelphia on Monday, July 13, and Tuesday, July 14, from 12:00-12:40 p.m. ET at Iron Hill Brewery (1150 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19107). Both shows will stream live on YouTube (make sure to subscribe!) and will also be available wherever you get your podcasts later that day.

PGA Tour pro Will Zalatoris joins the show after answering one of Jeff's Instagram DMs! A huge baseball fan from the Bay Area, Will kicks things off with an incredible Tim Kurkjian story. Little did we know, these two had actually met before!
Of course, because it's Tim and Jeff, the conversation immediately goes off the rails with ridiculous golf hypotheticals involving 18-handicaps, The Masters, and massive galleries. You had to know we'd eventually put a PGA Tour pro through the same scenarios Tim and Jeff usually debate on their own.
Eventually, we make our way back to baseball. Will grew up watching Barry Bonds launch home runs into McCovey Cove and remembers those Giants teams fondly. But it was another San Francisco Giant who truly captured his heart as a young baseball fan.
Will also shares what it was like being part of the new Happy Gilmore movie, including some priceless behind-the-scenes stories about working with Adam Sandler. We think he could have a second career in Hollywood—if he weren't such a darn good golfer.
What would Will ask Barry Bonds? Who has he always wanted to play a round with? And how did he become such good friends with Tony Romo? Those questions—and plenty more—are answered in this episode.
A huge thank you to Will for taking the time to join us. Hopefully these three get to hit the links together someday! Be sure to follow or subscribe, and share the show with a golf- or baseball-loving friend. Thanks, as always, for being part of our family!

All-Star selections are in! Plus, we announce a huge event benefiting an incredible father of three who has been diagnosed with ALS. And what do David Eckstein and Steve Kerr have in common? Find out on today's episode.
The NL Cy Young race is shaping up to be a lot of fun, but we also take time to celebrate an American League reliever who just broke a major record. Dansby Swanson leaves us baffled, and Dalton Rushing and Bobby Valentine are now kindred spirits.
The Cubs accomplished something that hasn't happened since 1894—yes, 1894. Only in baseball! On This Date in Baseball History, we revisit the famous umpire ejection league that Tim Kurkjian was part of during his ESPN days.
Then we spin the Wheel of Kurkjian as Tim riffs on every category. Team Tim also previews tomorrow's guest, PGA Tour golfer Will Zalatoris. We loved having him on, so be sure to subscribe or follow the podcast so you don't miss the episode.
We wrap things up with Mike Schur, the newly appointed commissioner of the podcast, who weighs in on what it really means to be over—or under—.500.
Thanks for listening! For details about Tim and Jeff's fundraiser event benefiting ALS, visit souljoels.com/shop/tickets/anightwithtimkurkjian/. We hope to see you there. Thanks for listening or watching, and thank you for being part of our family!
