This week we discuss the whether or not a team should allow their players to participate in international competitions. Teams from MLB or other leagues drag their feet on this idea, but should they just allow these players to go compete? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1920 rule change prohibiting alterations of the baseball. We discuss how effective this change has been, but also how important it is that the change was made at all.Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Ralph Kiner. Kiner certainly was a fantastic player for in a short period of time, but was that enough for us to wholeheartedly endorse his inclusion into Cooperstown?In our singlular parting shot this week discuss athlete owned restaurants. Some have succeeded, many have not, but what was the secret sauce to that and why do so many athletes go down this pathEnjoy our new crop of weekly commercials Wheaties and Ralph Kiner, Griffey Jr with Ichiro, and Buster Posey for MLB the Show!Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. As the Cardinals have retreated from annual October appearances they have also faded from the national spotlight. They haven't been historically bad. They haven't been as good as their recent history. Jordan Shusterman, senior writer at Yahoo! Sports and host of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, begins a converation on a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball there: Their absence from the national conversation and what will get them back. The answer, of course, is identifying what current players must be a part of the next contending core. That drives this new episode of the long-running Cardinals podcast. When Shusterman joined BPIB and host Derrick Goold for this recording, he entered his name as "#1 Jimmy Crooks Fan," and that fondness for the Cardinals' left-handed hitting catching prospect came up as the two baseball writers tracked the list of teams that have missed the postseason in the same years as the Cardinals. One of those teams -- the San Francisco Giants -- is not only the subject of a forthcoming article by Shusterman but also one of the teams interested in the Cardinals' Brendan Donovan and also a team that shares a standout trait with the Cardinals. Both clubs featured Hall of Fame caliber catchers as their cornerstones and have faded in the years since Buster Posey and Yadier Molina retired. The podcast also includes a discussion on sleeper picks for the future core and how lefty Liam Doyle, the Cardinals' first-round pick in the recent draft, could wake up the ballpark with his debut and personality, if the performance is there to match. He's compared to a closer, just at the start of the game. Plus, did Cardinals' fatigue contribute to the Cardinals' drift out of the national headlines? In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
