Character Clause Is Up For Debate and Marquard's Grand Stories Won't Let Him Skate

NOV 4, 202458 MIN

Description

Welcome to season 3 of the Small Hall Baseball Podcast! This week we discuss the character clause for Baseball Hall of Fame election. Do we like that its there or do we have some beef with this nearly 80 year old part of the election process? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the Mass Market Free Agent Re-Entry Drafts from 1976-78. The title is a mouthful, but was the process itself any less complicated? <br /><br />Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Rube Marquard. The numbers don't really give us a lot of hope on their face, but is he really as bad as he appears?. For our parting shots we talk about the the greatest 1-2 punch in baseball, the Yankees fan intereference, and a glorious lack of fundamentals in modern baseball.<br /><br />Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with Daniel Vogelbach stealing a base, Vin Scully rousing the fans for opening day, and Dustin Pedroia taking offense from Playstation.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Timestamps<br /><br />This Week In Baseball - 17:19<br /><br />Hall of Fame Discussion - 28:59<br /><br />Parting Shots - 38:22
