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
36 players we would induct into Cooperstown right now - Ep. 233
This is the first of our 'off-season' episodes and we will drop an episode every two weeks now until the start of the 2022 season - or at least what should be the start if the CBA negotiations are unsuccessful.
When we began our podcast 18 months ago our main premise is that there are too few players inducted into Cooperstown. 1.25% seems as if it would about the right amount which means today the HOF would have close to 300 players (not 263). In this first of two episodes, we talk about re-evaluations of some players we wanted in and others that we now feel are not 'Almost' guys. There are names you would expect and a few that may surprise!
