Oh boy, big Era Committee change… If a candidate gets fewer than five votes, they are not eligible to appear on the ballot in the next cycle. (This is fine.) If a candidate gets fewer than five votes a second time, they are permanently ineligible. (I am VEHEMENTLY against this.)

Pick the three best players: Barry Bonds Roger Clemens Kenny Lofton Sammy Sosa Bernie Williams Keith Hernandez David Cone Jeff Kent Gary Sheffield Carlos Delgado Nomar Garciaparra Don Mattingly Curt Schilling Dale Murphy Dwight Evans Lou Whitaker Mark McGwire

Lynn or Burks in center, Hurst as the LHP, and Hobson (obviously) at third, and mine would look the same.

Really excited to dive into this one. John Miller will be joining the pod soon to discuss Earl, the Orioles, baseball, and much more. The Last Manager is now available everywhere.

The book I rave about on this week’s podcast was Boom Town. I was in paradise, but was glued to this book. Top 10 book I have ever consumed. @shamblanderson.bsky.social has an open invite to come on the pod anytime to talk hoops.

Only 9 players in NBA history have averaged 30+ PPG during at least 4 NBA postseasons. Michael Jordan accomplished this 12 times. MJ made the playoffs 13 times. You do the math @basketball-reference.com

Dom and Joe DiMaggio. Has there been a better set of brothers in MLB history?

Kevin Durant became just the 8th player in NBA history to reach the 30,000 point milestone last night. Everyone on here is/was an elite scorer. No one stumbles into 30K points @basketball-reference.com

Everyone. Relax. I repeat relax. Ken Griffey Jr. is an all-time great. Lance Berkman is not Griffey Jr. or even close. HOWEVER, I wanted to show just how special of a hitter Berkman was and Griffey Jr. can help do that. As a hitter, his slash line is a thing of beauty.

Was really banking on Ichiro going in with a Marlins cap.
