Jack and Sean tackle a few different issues that span the end of the MLB season, including fans who would mock a player for social anxiety, a team that would poorly handle a domestic violence situation, and an umpire who may have overstepped his bounds.  However, there is good news when the guys discuss the good deed done by a women's soccer team when an opponent suffers a wardrobe malfunction.  Can we convince people to take a step back and have empathy?  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.
