Orel Hershiser joins Jay Horwitz for a rare deep dive into the year he spent as a New York Met — and the unforgettable moments that came before it. From earning his 200th career win in Flushing to outdueling the Mets in the legendary 1988 NLCS, Hershiser reflects on a career full of iconic moments and unlikely friendships. He opens up about what it meant to play behind Robin Ventura and Rey Ordoñez, why Bobby Valentine was one of the smartest minds he's ever worked with, and the hilarious myth about John Olerud's helmet.

Jim is joined by baseball Twitter personality Not Gaetti to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB pitcher Orel Hershiser. First, NotGaetti and Jim cover Hershiser's ridiculous 1988 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and whether it may just be the best first start to finish season in MLB history (8:09). Next, they discuss Hershiser's 59-inning scoreless streak, how he compares to HOFer Catfish Hunter, and where Hershiser ranks among the best pitchers of the 1980s (17:51). Finally, they debate how long a dominant peak has to last to overcome lackluster counting stats (48:40), before making a final call on whether or not Hershiser deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (55:27).

1993 - After the disastrous 1992 which saw the team lose 99 games, the front office was stuck between a rebuild and a retool, with the big contracts of Strawberry, Hershiser, and Butler on the books, and the exciting talent of Karros, Piazza, and Martinez on the horizon? Which way would the team turn...?
He looked, according to so many, like a choir boy. But on a pitcher's mound, with a ball in his hand, Orel Hershiser became Tommy Lasorda's bulldog. And his bite was never stronger than it was 35 years ago this week, as he finished off his record-setting 59 consecutive scoreless innings streak to set a new standard for dominance that has yet to be matched. Mike and Bill look back at one of the finest pitching performances of all time and see how Hershiser combined exceptional pitching with exceptional luck to reach this seemingly impossible height. Plus, happy birthday to Kevin Millar and Larry Dierker!
This week, we talk about cakes, pies, and all the rest with Abbey on Butler Executive Pastry Chef, Danielle Hershiser. Growing up in a small town in West Virginia, Danielle wasn't sure where her life was going. After hearing about the culinary program at a local college, she decided to check it out. With no formal cooking knowledge besides what had been passed down from family, she gravitated toward the program. This week, we talk about how she decided to take a chance on culinary school, the curriculum, spending a summer working in restaurants in Ocean City, and how she ended up baking up a storm in Pittsburgh. Another fascinating episode about someone's journey to where they are today.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin' Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past. The 1988 Mets seemed poised to cruise into their second World Series in three seasons and a glamorous matchup with the Oakland A's. That was before they ran into the force that was Orel Hershiser that season. The Cy Young winner battled through a lengthy recovery from labrum surgery in the early 1990s to remain a viable major league pitcher. He was a solid veteran presence for a Cleveland team that won two American League pennants in three seasons before coming to the team he once denied to try to do the same in 1999. In the twilight of his career, Hershiser nevertheless lived up to his Bulldog nickname, battling and having some memorable moments in his sole Mets season—winning his 200th game, donning the ill-fated uniform of the Mercury Mets, and providing crucial innings in the Grand Slam Single game. If you've got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments. Make sure to follow Rob on Twitter (@WolffRR), and you can now follow the show, too (@unformetable).

Throwing a complete game shutout is an impressive feat. What about throwing six in a row? That's what Don Drysdale did during the second-longest scoreless-inning streak of all time. Bob Gibson's 47 scoreless-inning streak happened in the middle of a stretch of eleven straight complete games. Something must be in the water in LA, because four of the ten longest scoreless-inning streaks belong to Dodgers pitchers - Hershiser, Drysdale, Greinke, and Kershaw. All this on today's episode.
Orel Hershiser joins Dan to discuss one of baseball's most impressive records, Hershiser's 59-inning scoreless streak in 1988. And then, the story of baseball's first family of broadcasting with Chip Caray, son of Skip and grandson of Harry. Audio Credit: ESPN, FOX, KMOX, MLB Network, NBC, TBS and WGN.
