With 10 Gold Gloves and 434 career homers, Andruw Jones is regarded as one of the top centerfielders of all time, and the guys have a great conversation with him on this episode. Having shared an outfield together for the Braves, Jeff shares what it was like as a rookie playing next to the best outfielder "he has ever seen," including what Andruw told Jeff before Jeff's first right field start with the Braves. In addition, Andrew shares some fun stories, talking about hitting two World Series home runs at 19 years old, and which Braves HoF pitcher he didn't enjoy playing behind. Most importantly, Andruw shares what it was like to grow up playing baseball in Curacao, how many games he played in his youth, and how he achieved his dream of playing professional baseball. He also contrasts his journey with the current youth sports culture in America, based on what he saw through his son's recent youth sports journey in Atlanta as he became the #2 overall pick in the MLB draft.

Last Tuesday, Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner joined already elected Dave Parker and Dick Allen as members of the Baseball HOF Class of 2025. Jim breaks down the ballot results and what the future looks like for HOF hopefuls Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, and Chase Utley (4:30). Then, Jim gives gives two cents on the five new members of Cooperstown (11:01), before running through some of the new "big" names that will join the 2026 ballot (31:05).

Send us a textDan was not the voter who didn't vote for Ichiro. But we all wish we knew who it was! For the 3rd straight year Dan joined the podcast to discuss the final HOF voting.  He voted for Bobby Abreu, Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, Chase Utley, and Billy Wagner. 9 in total and we discussed why he didn't vote for one more - could have been King Felix, Andy Pettitte, or Dustin Pedrioia or even David Wright! We also discussed allowing voters to vote for more candidates than the current limit of 10. Gordon suggested that if a player got one vote in his first year on the ballot he could stay on for year 2 and then be subject to some sort of minimum percentage - 5% or even less. As #Mets fans we are thrilled that Billy Wagner finally made it. New Yorkers will be traveling to Cooperstown this coming July to celebrate CC and Billy. Dan is working on a couple of new articles including an upcoming one on Babe Dahlgren's foray into video analysis more than 70 years ago!Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening!

Get ready for a jam-packed episode of The Fourteen Twenty Sports Bar Podcast as Brent Radlinsky takes you on a whirlwind tour through the latest in sports, starting with the MLB Hall of Fame where CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, and Ichiro Suzuki have all earned their spots, but what about the snubbed stars like Alex Rodriguez and Andruw Jones? Brent's got some strong opinions on the voting process and the so-called "morality clause" that's causing a stir, then it's onto the baseball salary cap debate where he argues that owners should be spending more, not less, and maybe a salary floor is the real solution, plus, the NHL's recent suspension of Connor McDavid has fans buzzing and Brent's breaking down why the league's decision was spot on, and finally, he tackles the tricky topic of putting athletes on pedestals, urging fans to appreciate their skills without expecting them to be perfect role models, so sit back, grab a few beers, and let's get into 'er!

Rundown [Intro] How's the weather in your neck of the woods? [4:07] Ichiro, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner are voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Jim Margalus isn't exactly thrilled with Wagner's selection. Why it's tough to grade closers when it comes to overall greatness. James Fegan also shares his theory on how Ichiro was one vote shy of being a unanimous selection. [18:51] Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones missed the cut. With a weak 2026 class, do they get the necessary votes to make the hall next year? [29:50] According to FanGraphs, the estimated luxury tax payroll for the Los Angeles Dodgers is around $370 million, or $290 million more than the Chicago White Sox. Why their spending spree will cause friction among owners even though it does come off as whining. Especially with the Dodgers injury history. [53:40] Remembering Jeff Torborg and Bob Uecker.

2025 BBWAA HOF Ballot Happy New Year! It's once again time to talk about the Hall of Fame, this time the writers' ballot. There are plenty of worthy candidates returning to the ballot, and two standout first year candidates to watch. Japanese icon Ichiro Suzuki is a lock for induction this year. Although he didn't debut until he was 27, the spry savant amassed over 3,000 hits, 1,400 runs, 10 All-Stars and Gold Gloves, not to mention two batting titles, a Rookie of the Year, and a MVP. He also holds the single season hit record, with 262 in the 2004 season. Although not the first Japanese player in MLB, his smashing success paved the way for other Japanese stars such as Hideki Matsui, Yu Darvish, and Shohei Ohtani. The only question about Ichiro is whether or not he'll be unanimous. Don't sleep on ace lefty C.C. Sabathia's chances on his debut ballot. As one of just three left handed pitchers with 3,000 strikeouts (Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson the other two), Sabathia was the definition of a workhorse. Add in 250 wins, a Cy Young, a World Series, and an ALCS MVP, and you've got a Hall of Famer, especially in this era. Among the other first-year candidates, there are a few who could survive the 5% threshold to remain on ballot for another year. Félix Hernández was one of the most dominant starters in baseball from 2007 - 2015, but that might not be enough for the writers. Dustin Pedroia and Ian Kinsler were both excellent second basemen that frankly lack the longevity needed for enshrinement, but are certainly worthy cases to discuss, particularly on the same ballot as sabermetric darling Chase Utley. Russell Martin and Brian McCann come up short in the traditional counting stats that writers demand from catchers, but their advanced framing metrics put them in similar ranks as Joe Mauer, Buster Posey, and Yadier Molina. Of the returning candidates, Billy Wagner came up just short last year (73.8%), and he will need a push to get over in his final year on the ballot. In his second to last year, Andruw Jones appears to be stalling around 60% of the vote, not far off from induction, but not close enough to be confident he'll make it this year or the next. Carlos Beltrán and Chase Utley appear to be on track for induction in a few years time, though they'll need to continue their growth. AROD, ManRam, and Andy Pettitte would be in the Hall if not for PEDs, and they're not getting in anytime soon. How many will join Dick Allen and Dave Parker for a July celebration? Find out January 21st when the results are announced. Audio clips from Youtube #3,000 for Ichiro - Fox Sports Florida Sun - Rich Waltz Laser Throw from Ichiro - Fox Sports Northwest - Rick Rizzs Single season hit record for Ichiro - Root Sports Northwest - Dave Niehaus CC gets 3K K's - YES Network  King Felix Perfecto - RSNW - Dave Sims Dustin Pedroia Leadoff WS HR - FOX - Joe Buck and Tim McCarver As always, shout out to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, boxscores, background information, and much, much more.

Case came in SUPER hot today with his Hall of Fame take regarding Ichiro's opportunity to be unanimous, why Andruw Jones should get in this year, and why Billy Wagner MUST get in with this being his final year on the ballot.  You do not want to miss Case's take! Plus, some advice from the Mayor for Pete Alonso as the clock continues to tick on whether or not he will return to the Mets and what the actual market is for the slugger.  Here's a hint: there is NO shot he gets that long term Prince Fielder deal.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Kelli Stewart. Kelli Stewart was born in Atlanta and raised most of her life in Oglethorpe County, a rural community just outside of Athens, Georgia. Although both parents were not a consistent fixture in her life, Kelli's Grandmother, Ms. Amy Lou Faust, provided a stable and nurturing home environment where she raised Kelli to have an old soul that has served her well in life. Kelli is a graduate from Cedar Shoals High School in Athens, GA and credits her participation in ROTC as keeping her on the mostly straight and mostly narrow. Through the watchful care and guidance of her ROTC Instructor, Sgt. Fincher along with Ms. Sue Lee (English Teacher) and Shirley Daniel (Guidance Counselor) Kelli graduated from Cedar Shoals in 1996 and went on to study at Georgia State University. She completed her undergraduate studies at Kennesaw State University in 2011 where she earned a bachelor's degree from the Coles College of Business with honors. In addition to her degree, Kelli holds a wealth of knowledge regarding sports-based youth development as a resource for racial, social and economic justice and the impact sports have on the social-emotional development of youth. Today, Kelli, and her husband, C.J. Stewart, oversee two business ventures that they started together. Through Diamond Directors, they train and develop some of the country's top amateur and professional baseball athletes; Jason Heyward (Los Angeles Dodgers), Dexter Fowler (Chicago Cubs, World Series Champion), Andruw Jones (former Atlanta Brave), Peter Alonso (NY Mets), Kyle Lewis (Arizona Diamondbacks), and Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh Pirates) are a few notable professional clients. Through L.E.A.D., they train and develop some of Atlanta's hidden treasures in Atlanta Public Schools. L.E.A.D. provides inner city boys with the same opportunities to excel in life through baseball as the Stewarts' Diamond Directors clients with the focus being accessing higher education and community leadership. To date, L.E.A.D. Ambassadors have achieved a 100% high school graduation rate and a 91% college enrollment and scholarship rate (academic and athletic). Kelli and CJ have two beautiful daughters, Mackenzi (Southern University) and Mackenna (The Lovett School). To find out more about Kelli and the work that is being done at the L.E.A.D. Center for Youth, you can check out their website at https://leadcenterforyouth.org/.

Jim is joined by baseball Twitter personality Not Gaetti to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB center fielder Andruw Jones. First, Not Gaetti and Jim discuss Jones' calling card, his elite defense in center field (9:03). Next, they cover his play in the 1996 World Series, how Jones compares to Ozzie Smith, and where Jones ranks among the best center fielders since 1990 (17:36). Finally, they discuss Cooperstown's sometimes unfair expectations for center fielders (39:29), before making a final call on whether or not Jones deserves a plaque in the Baseball Hall of Fame (53:51).
