Baseball Rabbi Classic: The Greatness of Al Kaline, and the Greatest Teenage Seasons in MLB History

Update: 2021-05-18

Description

LISTEN TO THIS CLASSIC EPISODE OF THE BASEBALL RABBI PODCAST!

Al Kaline's bWAR was close to 93, making him one of the greatest right fielders in history. But when you look at his career stats, it's a little bit difficult to figure out how his WAR got that high. How can we explain his greatness? And in honor of Kaline's great play as a young Tiger (he won the batting title when he was 20), Pesach and Scott list their favorite teenage seasons of all time. Dr. K, Tony C, Bryce Harper, Juan Soto, Mel Ott and more: listen up to see if you agree.
