Episode 363 - Chucking Klein Into Cooperstown

from This Week In Baseball History · host Mike Bates and Bill Parker

The parade of questionable Hall of Fame outfielders continue, as Mike and Bill celebrate Chuck Klein being elected to Cooperstown by the Veterans Committee 45 years ago this week. Klein put together some of the greatest seasons in baseball history, but in some of the weirdest contexts in baseball history, before suddenly flaming out. What happened? And did the strange conditions in which he played make his election a mistake? Like life, it's all very complicated! Plus, happy birthday to Ewell Russell and Terry Mulholland! And farewell to Don Secrist, Jeff Torborg, Tommy Brown, and Bobby Cuellar.
