Total Bases Podcast: S2E3 - Baseball Hall of Fame Aftermath and Discussion

"Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.”   Felipe is joined by fellow Cubs' fan Dan as they discussed the results of the Baseball Hall of Fame and explain why the baseball writers did not induct a single player for this year's Hall of Fame ceremony.   The main focus is on Curt Schilling who was the closest player on the ballot to be inducted in this year's Hall of Fame election as the guys discussed the many reasons why he should be and should not be inducted in the Cooperstown.    The conversation then transitions into the rest of the guys from the infamous "PED era" of baseball as the show discusses the moral and ethical issues of inducting players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens while also acknowledging that both players are worthy of induction based on career productivity.    The show concludes with the guys discussing the controversies of other eras of baseball, especially the wide use of amphetamines during the 1950s and 1960s.    Join us live, on Facebook, every Sunday morning at 11AM eastern/10AM central, at the Baseball Life group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1350488401713664   Catchup on all of the Season 2 episodes here:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7rurb8sZLymR3rjJGHOR7qJywDoyxkz3
