Description

This week we discuss "The Prospect Paradox". Should a team call up prospect and disrupt a successful team's chemistry or are prospects only going to get regular playing time in losing environments? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the overturning of the "Pine Tar Game" ruling against George Brett. Should MacPhail have overturned the rule? Who knows, but this was a very heated discussion for such a long ago decison.

Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Lefty Gomez. He was part of 5 World Series Yankee teams, but did he do enough with his numbers to warrant a call to Cooperstown?

In our singlular parting shot his week discuss the MLB All-Star Game's many flaws and some potential solutions.

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with baseball a Dustin Pedroia Sandwich, Pedroia's ability to hit the fastball up and in, and baseball and Nestle Quik!

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.
