Episode description
This week we discuss the concept of "Gamesmanship" and how far is too far. Is it okay so long as you keep it on the field or are there things that are just too far for us to accept? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1947 suspension of Leo Durocher. Was this an unwarranted suspension or was Durocher not such a neat and clean type of guy?
Our Hall of Famer this week is shortstop Dave Bancroft. The numbers are good, but are they good enough to warrant the call to Cooperstown? In our singlular parting shot his week we discuss Rob Thomson and his fate in the upcoming Phillies seasons.
Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with a Babe Ruth Brisk Ice Tea, Mikey and Whitey for Miller Lite, and the 1985 Phillies talking trivia.
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.
