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
MLB owners make a dumb offer & bunting is back. This week in Baseball Ep. 715 - 6.29.26
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
College baseball may become even more important if MLB owners get their way. Changing draft rules is a big part of the first offer from the owners. The players (MLBPA) laughed it off as they should have. We talk about what it means and what it will lead to.
Bunting is back in 2026. Well at least since the universal DH era began.
Will Tarik Skubal be a Detroit #Tigers pitcher after the trade deadline?
