The Nickel #8: How Many?

April 20, 2012 at 1:00pm • 54 minutes

Is 154 too many? How about 193? Those are the numbers from one high school game - 154 pitches in 10 innings, 193 in 15. Is throwing that many pitches as bad as we think? There's not many people out there who have been through it, but Chris Franzese is one of them. Will and Scott talk with Chris about what that experience was like and what it's meant for him since then. The answer might surprise you. We also talk with the makers of Aftershokz, a new kind of headphone that we think is worth checking out. The NHL talk leads to some NFL talk and gives us a big lesson, while we still have a lot to learn from Pat Summitt. It's another week of hanging out at the intersection of sports and technology on The Nickel.

Hosted by Will Carroll.
