Episode 683: Case at the Bat

Episode notes

The Oakland Athletics are leaving Oakland. What is an A’s fan to do? Her friend says, “Join us Giants fans!” She says she cannot support MLB, who is complicit in the team move. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Judge Hodgman can’t decide this week! He recuses himself and Bailiff Jesse Thorn offers a heartfelt ruling.
