03/20/23 • 88 min

This week the guys discuss the unfortunate injury to Edwin Diaz during the World Baseball Classic, take the scythe to another group of Hall of Famers, and comb through an article about the potentialy dangerous use of AstroTurf.
The Hall continues to get small, the contracts offered continue to be ridiculous for these players, and we may never know the whole truth about artificial playing surfaces. Hope you join us for another episode of the Small Hall Baseball podcast and we hope you'll enjoy th ride.
