Adam and Chris open our pilot show by describing where the idea for Top Ten Talks came from, how the podcast will be structured in the future, their background appreciation for baseball and even a bit about family and politics.
Later, Joey and Shawn join Adam and Chris to discuss their top ten favorite baseball movies. However, Joey and Shawn didn't bring their own Top Ten lists, so the Top Ten we will be watching and following up on in later episodes is as follows:

On-going rules for all Top Tens:

~ All Top Tens must be created in the spirit of appreciation for the category/topic. All picks must be backed by reasonable arguments, facts and intrigue about the pick, or debatable tastes and personal opinions.
