Show Notes
DOB and EOF welcome Senior Writer for The Athletic and co-host of the 'Poscast' podcast Joe Posnanski to the program. The trio dive into Posnanski's "The Outsiders" series, which examines the 100 greatest, Hall of Fame-eligible players who are not in the Hall. Where is Andruw Jones ranked (1:15)? What's stymied Jones' induction, and what will it take for him to be voted in? And what about Braves great, Dale Murphy (22:30)? The triumvirate also key in on Cleveland legend, Kenny Lofton, whom Joe watched while growing up in Cleveland (36:30). The three also touch on Cleveland changing its team name (56:30), the late Phil Niekro's legacy (1:09:15) and Barry Bonds v. Mike Trout's stats (1:15:30).
