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.

Father's Day Episode - MLB Fathers & Sons - Ep. 526
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Since we are father and son we're very interested in baseball fathers and sons. Bobby and Barry Bonds are at the top of the all-time father and son combinations when it comes to bWAR. We talk about them and all the other top father-son combinations.
We also cover the 19 father-son combinations represented in MLB today based on opening day rosters. How may fathers were HOFers who had sons playing in MLB? Have sons ever made the HOF when dad didn't?
