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.

Future Hall of Famers as you'd expect are not normally traded at the height of their careers. But it does happen for a variety of reasons. Being a future HOF'er, being traded and then winning a World Series with the new team has to be a very special feeling for both the player and the team. It's actually surprising to consider how many HOF players have been traded during their careers. Some trades work out better than others.

Thanks for listening!
