December 10, 2024 • Shawn Lavigne & Howie Mooney • Season 5 • Episode 31

After a long wait, Dick Allen and Dave Parker have selected by the Era Committee to enter Baseball's Hall of Fame. Shawn and Howie discuss the two men and their feelings about their selections. Shawn has mixed in some wonderful audio as well. Also, December 10, 2024 was the 40th anniversary of the day that the Montreal Expos dealt Gary Carter to the New York Mets for four players. The trade changed the fortunes of the two franchises as it sent the Mets to a World Series win a couple of seasons later.
