The Steroid Guys - Ep. 105
Send us a text After the MLB strike in 1994 the home run race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998 finally brought baseball back to the top of people's minds. We discuss the players that were associated, accused, and some who admitted taking PED's of one type or another. This was all before baseball instituted any kind of punishment beginning in 2004. Should or shouldn't the steroid guys be in the Hall of Fame? Thanks for listening and if you have a suggestion for an episode please drop...

Six Hall-Worthy Plays - Ep. 104
Send us a text Baseball fans know about the most 'famous' plays in the game's history. Babe Ruth's called shot (or was it?) in the 1932 World Series, Bill Mazeroski's WS-winning homer in 1960. And for Met fans, there's Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner. There's no specific corridor in the HOF for the more memorable plays although they do appear in random places.

Closest to Almost - Ep. 103
Send us a text We talked about players who had one shining moment in their career that could be principally responsible for their enshrinement in Cooperstown. Was it deserved?

Furthest From Almost - Ep. 102
Send us a text Our first episode "Nine Men In" covered players that we feel deserve to be enshrined in the HOF. This second episode "Furthest From Almost" covers players on the opposite end of the spectrum. The names are not as familiar yet the performances (or lack thereof) are surprisingly bad. While these players made it to the Major Leagues, they are statistically some of the worst players that ever suited up and yet were able to be major-league players and still played for ten or more seaso...

Nine Men In - Ep. 101
Send us a text This first episode is a discussion of the 18 players (2 for each of the 9 positions) we would put at the top of our list to leave 'Almost Cooperstown' to be enshrined in the HOF. We leave out the alleged steroid users for a future discussion. Most fans will know the players discussed but there may be one or two you've not heard about. We don't discuss Joe Jackson, Pete Rose or those players associated with the steroid era as we will cover them in a future episode. Thanks for list...
