Can A Half-Time Player Be The Best In The Game and Mantle’s Great Career A Bright Burning Flame

This week we discuss whether or not a Desginated Hitter can be considered the GOAT in baseball. Do we think a player that only plays half of the game can be considered for being the greatest in his sport? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss two relievers who won the Cy Young in 1987 and 1989. Those relievers won, but should they have and should a reliever ever be considered for the award?

Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Mickey Mantle. Another laugher in our list of Hall of Famers, but just how ridiculously good was Mick when he played? Pretty damned great.

In our singlular parting shot this week discuss the likely work stoppage and the sides involved. With so much money floating around professional sports, should we be supporting either the players or the owners who want this money of ours for themselves?

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials all featuring Mickey Mantle with Mantle Men Employment Agency, Post Cereal trading cards, and Karo Syrup.

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.
