(58) The Curse of Tim Raines, the Golden Age of Catchers, and the Marvin Miller Moral Dilemma

from The Baseball Rabbi Podcast · host Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn

Ted Simmons retired as the all time hit leader for catchers - and garnered 3.7% of the Hall of Fame vote in his first year of eligibility. Why did it take another 25 years for one of the greatest catchers ever to get in? Along the way we look at THE decade of dominant catchers (it's not the 1950s), as well as the travesty of Marvin Miller's Hall of Fame candidacy. And what is the curse of Tim Raines, and how is Drew Brees one of its prominent victims?
