Richard Justice has covered the Major Leagues for over three decades. He currently writes and contributes to MLB.com. We reached out to him because not only has he been covering baseball at a high level for a long time he lives in Houston area so he has insight into the Astros most do not have.

First we ask the importance of last night's Yankees win despite the Jordan Montgomery injury and Justin Verlander being so dominant? His answer includes a prediction that Justin Verlander is a no doubt Hall of Fame player. He adds a current member of the Yankees to that list as well.

He also tells us that his list of top teams in the American League may not include a team some have said is the best. At least not yet. I could pick this man's brain about baseball for hours but I had to settle for about ten minutes.
