Almost Cooperstown

Gordon Kolier & Mark Kolier

We're a father & son who love to talk and argue about baseball!  Baseball is the professional sport that has the longest history so there is a lot to talk about.  We launched Almost Cooperstown noting that baseball contains a long history of players that, for whatever reasons, have been shunned by the electors of the Hall of Fame.  Consequently here are many 'Almost' players still waiting their turn for induction. With less than 1.5% of the now more than 23,000 players in the HOF, we feel there should be more players included. In these podcasts we also discuss current seasons & trends. Please send any messages to almostcooperstown@gmail.com.  Baseball articles can be found here: https://almostcooperstown.substack.com/publish/posts

    Football is over Baseball is up to the plate! This week in baseball - Ep. 647 2.9.26

    Send us a text The Super Bowl is over so we can now focus our attention on where it belongs - Baseball!  Pitchers and catchers are officially reporting this week even though many have been in camp early and are already throwing, and catching.  We recorded a west coast version of our podcast this week in sunny and warm Palm Springs!  Right now there's baseball being played in the California Winter League where  teams play a one month schedule for post-college and unsigned players to audition for a professional contract. But mainly we are avoiding having to endure the awful cold back home!  Talking about cold, former Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase's problems just got worse.   Paul Goldschmidt signed with the #Yankees for another season. Is he a HOFer? We talk about that a little as well as Tarik Skubal winning his arbitration case after the #Tigers signed Framber Valdez to a 3 year deal.  Check out the other things we cover in this week's special episode! Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid! Check them out on Spotify or Apple Music!   Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening! If you can give us 4 or 5 star rating that means a lot.
