Rating the 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame Inductions (w/ John Vampatella)
We’re rating the most recent inductions into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I've invited back an old friend of the show, John Vampatella.
We’ve going to cover the 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame inductees and if we agree with the selections. Then we’ll discuss who they may have missed and round out our show with the biggest snubs in HoF history and we think should be enshrined.
John is the author of The Forgotten Game, book that covers game five of the 2004 ALCS between the Yankees and the Red Sox. We him back on in October 2021 to discuss the book’s release. Check out the episode here. He also discusses his most recent release entitled the 53rd Man.
