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
Elite bat speed leaders & how Mets are cratering - Ep. 705 - 4.21.26
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A day later than usual because we were traveling and distraught from watching the #Mets lose their 11th straight. News of the week includes the sudden passing of #Angels great Garret Anderson - so sad. #Dodgers Edwin Diaz to undergo surgery and will miss at least half the season.
Yordan Alvarez leads #MLB with 10 HRs and #Yankees Aaron Judge is right behind with 9. Who are the players with the highest bat speed in baseball? Which is more important to OPS - on-base average or slugging? We answer all in this fast-paced quick hitting episode!
