Almost Cooperstown
We're a father and son who love to talk and argue about baseball! Baseball is the professional sport that has the longest history so there is a lot to talk about! We launched Almost Cooperstown noting that baseball contains a long history of players that, for whatever reasons, have been shunned by the electors of the Hall of Fame. Consequently here are many 'Almost' players still waiting their turn for induction. With less than 1.4% of the now more than 23,000 players in the HOF, we feel there should be more players included. In these podcasts we also discuss current seasons & trends. Please send any messages to almostcooperstown@gmail.com.

All 30 MLB teams will play on Opening Day March 30 - the day this podcast drops! We were lucky to be joined by Michael Ortman to talk about his book Opening Day 50-for-50, One fan, One game, A half century of baseball stories. The history of what was going on at the time of each Opening Day in baseball is woven into his book in a very compelling way. This season's Opening Day debuts new rules that will make watching baseball in 2023 faster and we think better.

We've added a YouTube Channel and are still working out our own kinks. No videos yet but if you care to listen from YouTube here is the link to the Almost Cooperstown channel.
