Mark Rosenman is a longtime New York sports radio personality and published author and writer. Rosenman's radio career began in 1980 on WGLI "The Mighty" 1290 AM.

The show includes interviews with current and former players, broadcasters and other sports media personalities.

John Coppinger has loved baseball since he went to nine Mets games in 1979. They lost all nine. But after the Mets swept the Cardinals on the last weekend of the '79 season to avoid 100 losses, his optimism was off the charts. It led him to an internship with "This Week in Baseball" and a 32-year career in sports television. But he is best known in the online world as "Metstradamus," his nom de plume since 2005. It was then that he started "The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus," which was recognized as Metsblog's "best new blog" in 2006. That made Coppinger an award winner along with being really full of himself. He thinks Yoenis Cespedes is under appreciated and is still upset that Darren O'Day was lost on waivers to the Texas Rangers in 2009.
