And in the archives, John goes back to research 200-hit seasons in club history, since Bell was the first player to ever reach that mark.

Jim is joined by Adam Darowski of Sports Reference to break down the HOF candidacy of former MLB third baseman Buddy Bell. First, they discuss Bell's elite advanced metrics, which all point to him being on par with the average Hall of Fame third basemen (7:20). Next, they cover Bell's only season where he finished in the top 10 in the AL MVP vote, how he qualifies to be called Brooks Robinson lite, and whether he belongs on Defensive Third Basemen Mount Rushmore (17:52). Finally, they rank Bell among the best third basemen of his era (46:00), before making a final call on whether he belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame (58:14).
1975 was a banner year for Rookies in Major League Baseball. Fred Lynn broke onto the scene in Boston and won Rookie of the Year and MVP… the first player ever to do that. And in the National League, John, “The Count” Montefusco took home the honors of National League Rookie of the Year. The Giants hurler narrowly beat out The Kid, Gary Carter, who went on to have a Hall of Fame career as a catcher. The only other player to get a vote for American League Rookie of the Year was Lynn's teammate, a future Hall of Famer himself, Jim Rice who had a fantastic freshman year. The 3rd Hall of Famer in that rookie class was a pitcher in Cleveland by the name of Dennis Eckersley. But he wasn't the only young stud on that staff… Enter The Amazing Emu… Jim Kern. A non-drafted pitcher out of Midland, Michigan, Kern didn't rise quickly through the minors and took a detour when he joined the marines in 1969. After a year of serving and 5 more in the reserves, Kern's baseball career started to take off and after a brief callus to the bigs in '74, he came up for good in '75. As a starter he had inconsistent success but with Frank Robinson as his manager, he converted to a receiver in 1976 and a star was born. One of the hardest throwers in the game, Kern took to his new role immediately, winning 10 games and saving 15 with an ERA of 2.37 over 117 innings. He was an American League All-Star the next three seasons culminating in 1979 when he won 13 games out of the pen and saved another 29 while amassing 143 innings with an ERA of 1.57. A season for the ages for the 6'5 flamethrower. Unfortunately injuries plagued Kern for much of the rest of his career. He bounced around the league and other than a resurgence in 1982 for a bad Reds team, he never was as dominant as he was during that 4-year stretch from 1976-79… On the Past Our Prime podcast, Kern tells us about his journey from being undrafted out of high school, to the marines to a 3-time All-Star reliever from 1977 to 1979. He tells us about his days in Cleveland that included playing for the first black manager in baseball history, Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and being on the same pitching staff as another Hall of Famer, Dennis Eckersley. Kern speaks fondly of many teammates including Gaylord Perry, Pat Dobson, Sparky Lyle and Boog Powell who taught this “dumbass rookie” as much about being a pitcher as anyone he ever came across. And this baseball character tells us about the best prank he ever took part in, and how Buddy Bell got his revenge! It's a bunch of laughs with one of the funniest relief pitchers of the late 70's who could throw the ball about as hard as anyone for a brief, yet electric time in Cleveland and Texas.

I don't worship the player. I don't worship the card. But, I'll admit that my ardor and enthusiasm for card collecting has the potential to distract me from what matters most. Still, I'm a long way from idolatry. I want no part of an aniconistic world view where visual representations of figures are a punishable offense, but if this episode should be my last, you'll know why. We also look at a few lesser lights from the 1984 US Olympic Baseball team: Oddibe McDowell, Cory Snyder, and Billy Swift. Buddy Bell was the greatest American League third baseman of his generation not named George Brett, and Bell provides the portal for a gratuitous highlight of the "life swap" between Yankees' pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich (full story here: https://www.pablo.show/p/the-yankee-wife-swap-scandal). A's reliever Bill Caudill strikes out the side, and we end with the time when Tommy Lasorda and Giants manager Charlie Fox got into a fistfight while exchanging lineup cards at home plate.
Buddy Bell gives a compelling sermon about dying to self. He teaches on how that “it’s a must” to die to self to receive the promises of God.
