VHBO2M05: Eddie! Eddie!

Like an empty arena at 4am or a baseball field in January, you could hear a guitar pick drop in dugouts and backstage fuck-rooms across the country as trial is now "imminent" in the landmark entertainment case of Van Halen vs. Baltimore Orioles.

Our analysis begins with a "tale of the tape" match-up of Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen vs. first baseman Hall of Fame legend Eddie Murray of the O's.
