GSMC Baseball Podcast Episode 663: David Ortiz elected to the Hall of Fame

Kevin starts the episode by breaking down the results of the 2022 BBWAA Hall of Fame voting. David Ortiz is a first-ballot Hall of Famer as he was the only player to reach the 75% threshold. Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds did not receive enough votes and will now fall off the ballot after their 10th and final time. Kevin then discusses the top Hall of Fame classes of all-time based on the total WAR for the class. The top two classes are from the 1930s due to the fact that these were the first few classes and had a few of the legends of the game be enshrined. There is a recent class or two that are high on the list. Can you guess which class? Kevin wraps up the show having some fun and talking about the most stunning off-season trades in MLB history. Five of the most stunning trades in baseball history have occurred in the past two years. Will there be another stunner this offseason when we finally get a new CBA agreement?
