  • Winning With No Stars May Be Only A Dream and Jim Bottomley's Career, Does It Have The Right Gleam?

    Winning With No Stars May Be Only A Dream and Jim Bottomley's Career, Does It Have The Right Gleam?
    Jan 12 2026
    This week we discuss the whether or not a team in the current baseball landscape can construct a winner without a superstar player. We have seen teams do it in the past such as the 1969 Mets or the 1991 Twins, but do we think its possible now or a dream of a bygone era? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss FDR's 1942 proclamation that baseball should continue during the war. We talk keeping up morale, but also what kind of mood would have happened if baseball had disappeared during such a tumultuous time.

    Our Hall of Famer this week is first baseman Jim Bottomley. He surely had a string of good years and holds the record for single game RBI, but was that enough for us to allow him to stay?

    In our singlular parting shot this week discuss the life and career of actor Paul Douglas. He starred in only two baseball movies, but he was certainly someone who lived a fascinating life right until the end.

    Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials featuring staying optimistic in little league, opening day baseball hype, and Andrew McCutchen for MLB the Show.

    Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.

  • Vet's Committee Selection Perplexes Us All and Whitey Ford's Hall Case Is Far From A Close Call

    Vet's Committee Selection Perplexes Us All and Whitey Ford's Hall Case Is Far From A Close Call
    Dec 15 2025
    This week we discuss the Modern Era HOF Committee results for this year. Only one selection for the Hall from the committee, but were we surprised by that selection and should he have been the only one? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the standardization of baseball in 1933. It took many years into MLB's existence to make this change and we talk about the difference and the change itself.

    Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Whitey Ford. Not a laugher as his teammate was in our last discussion, but did we believe him to be a no doubt candidate for the Hall?

    In our singlular parting shot this week discuss the the baffling contracts given out with the a likely looming work stoppage next year. Why would teams do this and what will the rammifications of those decisions be?

    Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials all featuring White Ford with Post Cereal, Braniff Airlines, and Campbell's soup!

    Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
