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.

All-Star week is here but No REAL baseball until Friday - Ep. 532
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
MLB's annual trade show and conference for players has started. It's only for the best players as the non-All-Stars are home with their families. For four days! The break for players is welcomed. Fans may feel differently.
There are 36 first-time All-Stars. That's amazing! The Phillies have 8 All-Stars. @Pirates Paul Skenes is starting the All-Star game for the National League and that's right. Elly de la Cruz will play in the All-Star game due to the injury to Mookie Betts. Rafael Devers is passing on the All-Star game but he did not pass up to hit a big home run on Sunday to help the Red Sox to a 5-4 win.
We will do our midseason report on Thursday.
