In the conversation, Edwards and McGriff talk about:

- Growing up in Tampa and Fred's love of baseball
- How great the high school baseball was in Tampa
- Getting cut from his high school baseball team
- Being drafted by the Yankees
- Playing for the Blue Jays, Padres and eventually the Braves
- The 1995 World Series
- How he got the nickname "The Crime Dog"
- Tom Emanski
- What he would change if he was the commissioner of baseball for a day
