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.

Think about how odd it is right now as we drop this episode late December 2021. New team managers like Buck Showalter are not allowed to talk to or even mention players on the team. The #MLB owners have 'Locked Out' the MLB players and if nothing gets negotiated there will be no Spring Training, and possibly an abbreviated season or no season at all.

Baseball labor actions have been ongoing for nearly 50 years. We're generally on the side of the players who've gotten the short end of the stick for..., well nearly forever. We talk about what's important to the players and owners, what rule changes might ensue as a result of an anticipated agreement.

Don't expect any early moves from either side. It's never been done that way before so why would it be different this time! It's ironic that we called out Kyle Seager and then he goes abd retires just as the episode drops! Seager had a nice career. Also, Max Scherzer received $130M not $140M from the #Mets and Francisco Lindor received $341 million not $310 million. Not chicken feed even for them!
