The Case For: A Baseball Hall of Fame Podcast
Episode 25 (Season 3) Jesse Orosco
Jesse Orosco pitched 24 years in Major League Baseball and is the all-time career leader in games played for a pitcher with 1252. A hero of the 1986 Jesse earned 3 wins in 4 games during the 1986 NLCS and 2 saves in the 1986 World Series, including the iconic final out for the World Champion New York Mets.
Jesse and Omar Vizquel (SS) are the only two players to hold the career games played mark for their positions who are NOT in the HOF. Jesse also has some (but not other) career stats that compare favorably with the greatest reliever of all-time Mariano Rivera.
Are Jesse's career stats, hardware, and fame fame factor enough to warrant induction in Cooperstown? Listen to Russell as he makes the case!
