Edgar Martinez was one of the best right-handed hitters of his era. He retired at the conclusion of the 2004 season, after spending 18 distinguished and loyal years playing for the Seattle Mariners. He finished with a .312/,418/,515/,933 slashline, which places him in the company of some of the game's immortals. Over his career, he made seven All-Srar teams. won a pair of American League Batting Titles, five Silver Slugger Awards and five Most Outstanding Designated Hitter Awards. He is arguably one of the greatest Designated Hitters to ever swing a bat, as evidenced by the fact that Major League Baseball renamed the Most Outstanding Designated Hitter Award to the Edgar Martinez Award in his honor, upon his retirement. This week, we profile this man's amazing baseball journey from Dorado, Puerto Rico to Seattle, Washington and eventually to Cooperstown, New York, to rightfully take his place in the Pantheon Of Baseball Immortals; The National Baseball Hall Of Fame. #EdgarMartinez #CarmeloMartinez #MartyMartinez #HolliMartinez #SeattleMariners #JimLefbvr #KenGriffeyJr #RandyJohnson #JackMcDowell #IchiroSuzuki #MarianoRivera #PedroMartinez #BretBoone #DaveNiehaus

Was Graig Nettles one of the greatest third basemen to ever play… or just another name lost in the numbers? This episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast dives deep into one of baseball's most debated Hall of Fame snubs. A 22-year MLB veteran, Nettles crushed 390 home runs, drove in over 1,300 RBIs, and anchored championship teams with the New York Yankees. He was a six-time All-Star, a two-time World Series champion, and one of the best defensive third basemen of his era. So why isn't he in Cooperstown? We break down the real reasons: A .248 career batting average that never wowed voters Limited accolades compared to peers at a stacked position Playing in the shadow of legends like Mike Schmidt and Brooks Robinson And a Hall of Fame voting system that dropped him off the ballot in just four years But here's the twist—advanced stats tell a different story. Nettles posted around 68 WAR, one of the highest totals for any player NOT in the Hall of Fame . So did voters get it wrong? This episode asks the tough question: Was Graig Nettles truly snubbed… or just not quite elite enough?

Mike Mussina was a cerebral assassin and one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball history, excelling against some of the game's biggest sluggers during the "Steroid Era". Despite finishing his Hall Of Fame career with 270 wins, and an American League record of 17 consecutive seasons with more than 10 wins, his career has been earmarked by near-misses and lost opportunity, both personally and for his teams. Always the best man, but never the groom, Moose would never win a Cy Young Award, but he would be a top 5 vote-getter 6 times in his career. He carried four no-hitters into the 8th or 9th inning, before coming up short, the most times for any pitcher who has never thrown a no-hitter. And he would neverf win a World Series ring. The closest he would come was 2001, when he would watch Luis Gonzalez hit a walk-off championship winning bloop single off Yankees teammate and closer Mariano RIvera, in Game Seven. He was a mad surgeon, applying small knicks from his scapel to his opponents, which on the surface seemed harmless. But if you took a step back and looked at yourself in the late innings. you'd be a bloody fucking mess. This week we follow his baseball journey from small=town America; Montoursville, Pennsylvania to a baseball legacy that ends in Cooperstown, New York, as one of the all-time immortals. #MikeMussina #Moose #MalcolmMussina #EllieMussina #MarkMussina #UniversityOfStanford #EdSprague #BaltimoreOrioles #CalRipkenJr #NewYorkYankees #MichaelKay #JoeTorre

Finish Your Breakfast (4.17.2026): Trout and Judge finished their epic series in the Bronx. I believe the final count was 22 home runs between the Yankees and Angels in four games. Trout had 5 HR and 9 RBIs. Judge had 4 HRs and 5 RBIs. Jo Adell hit the big one yesterday, a grand slam in the eight inning. Angels won the game and tied the series. And, Jo Adell's three-home run-robbing glove is going to Cooperstown. All of that and more on FYB.

On this week’s edition of Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob discusses the blowback surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bloated payroll, Mike Trout’s return to prominence during a road series in The Bronx, and Jo Adell’s glove being taken to Cooperstown. Later, New York Mets pitcher Devin Williams swings by for a very compelling conversation, and Star Tribune Minnesota Twins beat writer Bobby Nightengale checks in to discuss their hot start to the season. Plus, we drop Rob's latest appearance on MLB Network and the latest edition of Pocket Protector Central with analytics guru Anthony Masterson, and reveal the fourth installment of his Memory Lane series.

Guests: Blue Jays pitchers Max Scherzer and Spencer Miles, Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke   This week in Deep Left Field, we go over the Blue Jays' week that was, which featured a sweep of the Athletics and an ugly series loss to the sad-sack Colorado Rockies, with a special emphasis on Cody Ponce's catastrophic knee injury and what that means for the rotation. Then we hear from two Jays pitchers at the absolute opposite ends of the spectrum. Max Scherzer is starting his 19th season in the big leagues and is ticketed for immortality in Cooperstown when he's done. Spencer Miles is a rookie, selected in the Rule 5 draft, who still hasn't hit the 25-inning mark as a professional. Incredibly, the two hurlers are linked by a Missouri snowstorm. They both tell us that story. Also, Pickering's own Denzel Clarke made an opening day roster for the first time in his career, after playing for Canada at the World Baseball Classic for the second time. We catch up with the centre field magician as we look out at the stands where he saw his first big-league game. All that, plus the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

Jim is joined by sports podcaster Alex Chester to break down the HOF candidacy of former Minnesota Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek. First, Alex and Jim debate whether Hrbek was a good or great defensive 1st baseman, as he never won a gold glove, yet was known for his glove (10:44). Next, they discuss several of his memorable World Series moments, compare Hrbek to his teammate Kirby Puckett, and decide where Hrbek ranks among the best 1st basemen of the 1980s (13:22). Finally, Alex and Jim try to determine whether Hrbek is the best player in MLB history to make one or fewer all-star teams (39:00), before making a final call on whether or not they believe Hrbek deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (46:55).

Legendary funnyman and former big league catcher Bob Uecker once said, "The Best way to catch a knuckle-ball, is to wait for it to stop rolling, and then pick it up." He also noted that catching Phil Niekro's knuckle-ball was a great experience. " It gave me a chance to meet all the important people sitting in the stands behind home-plate. Phil Niekro, or "Knucksie" as he was affectionately called, was an unapologetic one-pitch pitcher. He rode his rotation-less knuckle-ball pitch to amass 318 wins and 3,342 strikeouts in his illustrious 24 year career. An amazing feat, considering he didn't collect his 100th win until his age 34-season in 1972, 9 years into his MLB career. That and the fact that he only had 596 strikeouts to his credit at the age of 30. With his one 77 miles per hour, butterfly pitch that seemed to giggle at you as it crossed the plate, he confounded the greatest hitters on the planet, all the way to Cooperstown, New York. #PhilNiekro #Knucksie #BlaineOhio #BridgeportHighSchool #JoeNiekro #JohnHavlicek #BillMazeroski #BillMaughn #HarryMinor #NancyFerrand #MilwaukeeBraves #AtlantaBraves #NewYorkYankees #ClevelandIndians #TorontoBlueJays #KnuckleBall #BobbyCox #JoeTorre #TedTurner

On this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, Kenny dives into one of baseball's most debated legacies — the career of Sammy Sosa. Once one of the most electrifying sluggers in the game, Sosa captivated fans during the historic home run chase with Mark McGwire during the 1998 season, helping bring baseball back into the spotlight after the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike. But despite hitting 609 career home runs, winning the 1998 NL MVP, and becoming a global icon with the Chicago Cubs, Sosa still remains on the outside looking in when it comes to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Why hasn't one of the most prolific power hitters in history been inducted? Kenny examines the numbers, the controversy surrounding baseball's steroid era, and the complicated legacy that has kept Sosa out of Cooperstown. Is he a Hall of Famer who has been unfairly judged, or does the era he played in define how history remembers him? Join Kenny as he breaks down The Hall of Famer That Wasn't: Sammy Sosa. ⚾

First, David and Jim cover the "Core Four" and Posada's role on all of those World Series teams (10:45).

While Rickey Henderson is universally and rightfully regarded as the greatest lead-off hitter in baseball history, this week I will do a deep dig into the baseball foundation laid down by arguably the second greatest lead-off stick of all time; " The Rock" Tim Raines. The Rock was a beautiful combination of speed, power, and high on-base percentage. The rarest of blends and qualities, achieved by only a few players before him or since. His blinding speed was on a whole other level. He stole 70 or more bases in a season six times in his career. His 808 stolen bases ranks him with the fifth most in the game's history, and his 84.7% success rate is the highest ratio for any player with 400 or more stolen bases, since caught stealing became an official stat in 1951. From the sandlots of Sanford, Florida, all the way to the Pantheon Of Immortals in Cooperstown, New York. This is "The Rock'. #TimRaines #SanfordFlorida #SeminoleHighSchool #MontrealExpos #AndreDawson #StolenBases #ChicagoWhiteSox #NewYorkYankees #OaklandAthletics #BaltimoreOrioles #FloridaMarlins #TimRainesJr #NationalBaseballHallOfFame
