Episode Notes

This week we discuss the media landscape of Major League Baseball going into the future. What really is the best model for baseball and will the owners and players be able to pick one that works for everyone? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1901 rule changes heading into the Modern Era of baseball. The rule changes that occurred have been evergreen and have stuck around until today, which really speaks to the lasting power of baseball as a sport.

Our Hall of Famer this week is Second Baseman Billy Herman. This man was a rock solid model of second base consistencey, but was it enough to warrant the Vet's Committee's election of him to the Hall of Fame?

In our singlular parting shot this week discusses the MLBPA and how the result upheaval could lead to problems moving into the upcoming negotiations.

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with NES RBI Baseball, Bell of PA Yellow Pages with Mike Schmidt, and Denny's Hologram Cards with Wally Joyner!

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.
