  • Fantastic concept

    Love the concept for the show as a big Hall of Fame nerd. Would love to see some NHL player conversations, too, at some point.

  • Waste of time….

    The podcaster has a decent idea. Unfortunately he doesn’t deliver. It’s a mish mash of wandering ideas void of substance

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Clint Hurdle
Q: What was the biggest difference stepping in the batter's box during the postseason vs. the regular season?
He explains that postseason at-bats carry amplified pressure and heightened attention from everyone; the stakes and the crowd's energy elevate the moment beyond any ordinary at-bat.
Interview with Clint Hurdle
Q: What was your welcome to the MLB moment?
Clint describes the moment of packing to fly to Kansas City and walking into the Royals' home clubhouse, seeing his name on a locker, and then meeting Whitey Herzog, which made him feel he truly belonged in the majors.
Kent Hrbek with Alex Chester
Q: Is Kent Hrbek better than Gil Hodges as a Hall of Fame candidate?
Statistically, Hrbek edges Hodges in several categories, but Hodges benefits from a longer career and earlier Hall of Fame status, making the comparison nuanced and dependent on weighing era context and positional value.
Kent Hrbek with Alex Chester
Q: Why did Kent Hrbek only make one All-Star appearance?
Even though he posted solid numbers and was a key player on winning teams, the era featured a deep pool of first basemen (Eddie Murray, Don Mattingly, Keith Hernandez, etc.), limiting his All-Star selections despite strong performance.
Jorge Posada with Ken Davidoff
Q: Do you think Jorge Posada will get into the Hall of Fame?
Davidoff argues it's unlikely unless era committees undergo changes; he cites a backlog of other candidates and the fluid nature of contemporary ballot eligibility.
