Orel Hershiser with Not Gaetti
from Pod of Fame · host Jim Miloch
Jim is joined by baseball Twitter personality Not Gaetti to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB pitcher Orel Hershiser. First, NotGaetti and Jim cover Hershiser's ridiculous 1988 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and whether it may just be the best first start to finish season in MLB history (8:09). Next, they discuss Hershiser's 59-inning scoreless streak, how he compares to HOFer Catfish Hunter, and where Hershiser ranks among the best pitchers of the 1980s (17:51). Finally, they debate how long a dominant peak has to last to overcome lackluster counting stats (48:40), before making a final call on whether or not Hershiser deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (55:27).
