In this week’s episode of Slate’s sports podcast Hang Up and Listen, Stefan Fatsis, Josh Levin, and Mike Pesca talk about Bubba Watson’s sudden-death Masters win and why CBS and the tournament’s sponsors knuckle under to Augusta National. They also assess the Miami Marlins and the team’s irascible manager Ozzie Guillen, and they examine the latest uniform trends in pro and college sports.
