Ike, Spike and Fritz

One of the most iconic staples among all MLB press boxes is Frank Muzzuca, otherwise known as 'Frankie Two Scoops.' The 85-year-old is legendary for dishing out ice cream to all who venture up to the Phillies' press box for the past 28 years, missing just one day during that span. Ice cream and baseball have always had a special partnership, but after listening to Frank, you will appreciate their marriage even more.

With Ike playing golf, Spike Eskin and Jack Fritz explore the rumors of LeBron James potentially joining the 76ers following reports of communication with Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid. They are joined by Larry Andersen, recap the MLB All-Star Game and the performance of Phillies' Chris Sanchez before debating Jalen Hurts' placement in recent quarterback rankings. The conversation also covers the controversy of training camp statistical reporting and check in with Brodes on the future of the Flyers' rebuild.
