In the first segment called, Lesser Known Hall of Famers, Jeff and Leonard talk about Hugh Duffy who, in 1894 set the MLB single-season record for batting average, .440, a batting record that has stood for 127 years. The other segent is called, Hall of Fame Years in Ordinary Carrers.  They discuss former Cy Young winner, Randy Jones, who, in 1976 as a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres had a won-loss record  of 22-14 with a  2.74 ERA.  Barbecue talk includes a discussion about Barbecual Hall of Fame inductees, Henry Ford and Speed Herrig.We wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year.We recommend you go to Fifth & Cherry, https://fifthandcherry.com for wonderful cutting boards and http://www.baseballbbq.com for grill tools and clothing for barbecue and baseball fans and the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, https://www.pbbclub.com  to find many of the wonderful books we have featured as well as some additional swag.We conclude the show with the beautiful song, "Baseball Always Brings You Home" from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.If you would like to contact the show, we would love to hear from you.Call the show:  (516) 855-8214Email:  [email protected]:  @baseballandbbqInstagram:  baseballandbarbecueYouTube:  baseball and bbqWebsite:  https://baseballandbbq.weebly.comFacebook:  baseball and bbq  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
