Episode description

This week we discuss the recently announced sale of the Baltimore Orioles. Just how giddy are O's fans and what does it mean for the near future of the franchise? Continuing our This Week In Baseball, we discuss "The Infield" from the 70s LA Dodgers. We lose the thread a little bit talking about the escapades of Steve Garvey, but we marvel at the success and longevity of those four gentlemen.

Our Hall of Famer this week is runoff recipient Luke Appling. A man who only received 0.8 percent on his first ballot, but did we think that was an unjust result for him? For our parting shots we discuss refining the Hall of Fame voting process, enjoying success as it comes, and the folly of comparing players across eras of baseball. 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.
