Going 1st to 3rd (26:04), all that is Cooperstown, with speech grades (37:36), the beauty and efficiency of the town on HOF Weekend (41:00), and the great reverence for Hank Aaron (45:00). Coming into Home, thoughts on the tweet controversies surrounding baseball players (48:00).

RTB Hall of Fame Podcast 2018 (1/22/18)

Audio

Coach and Tucker cast their annual fictitious ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame, make predictions on who will be in the Class of 2018, the greatest omissions to the Hall, and what changes they would make to the HOF election process. Chipper and Thome are 1st ballot, with Hoffman and Vladdy as virtual locks. Love for Alan Trammel and Jack Morris, the case for Dale Murphy and Tim Simmons, and why Cooperstown should create the “Wing of Infamy.”
