Almost Cooperstown
We're a father & son who love to talk and argue about baseball! Baseball is the professional sport that has the longest history so there is a lot to talk about. We launched Almost Cooperstown noting that baseball contains a long history of players that, for whatever reasons, have been shunned by the electors of the Hall of Fame. Consequently here are many 'Almost' players still waiting their turn for induction. With less than 1.5% of the now more than 23,000 players in the HOF, we feel there should be more players included. In these podcasts we also discuss current seasons & trends. Please send any messages to almostcooperstown@gmail.com.

Almost Cooperstown
It's getting crowded in the dugout - Bench Coaches abounding - Ep. 454
Correction - The Dodgers will open the 2024 season in South Korea vs. the Padres.
Have you noticed that MLB dugouts are getting crowded? With all the coaches old and new beyond the manager? Bench coaches have not been a regular thing in baseball history but they are now and have been since the late 1980s. We discuss coaches, The HOF Contemporary Committee and Ford Frick Award votes AND talk about baseball winter meetings. We do wish we were there!
