Vet's Committee Selection Perplexes Us All and Whitey Ford's Hall Case Is Far From A Close Call

This week we discuss the Modern Era HOF Committee results for this year. Only one selection for the Hall from the committee, but were we surprised by that selection and should he have been the only one? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the standardization of baseball in 1933. It took many years into MLB's existence to make this change and we talk about the difference and the change itself.

Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Whitey Ford. Not a laugher as his teammate was in our last discussion, but did we believe him to be a no doubt candidate for the Hall?

In our singlular parting shot this week discuss the the baffling contracts given out with the a likely looming work stoppage next year. Why would teams do this and what will the rammifications of those decisions be?

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials all featuring White Ford with Post Cereal, Braniff Airlines, and Campbell's soup!

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.
