03/13/23 • 79 min

This week we examine the fabled collapse of the 1964 Phillies, the halting of hype for Andrew Painter, and what one of us really thinks of the World Baseball Classic.

Regional Sports Fall But Finally A Smaller Hall

This week on the podcast the guys discuss the 1950 "Whiz Kids" Phillies, the seeminly short remaining life of Regional Sports Networks, and of course a new crop of Hall of Famers to discuss. Is it possible that they may actually be giving their first player the heave ho from the Hall and what effect will the loss of revenue from TV contracts have on handing out huge contracts to the likes Manny Machado and others? Hope you'll listen to find out the answers to those questions and more on the Small Hall Baseball Podcast!
