Harry the K's replaced at Citizen's Bank and Robin Roberts Career Enough to Join the Ranks?
About this episode
The episode discusses the removal of Harry Kalas' name from Citizen's Bank Park, Jim Abbott's career as a pitcher, Robin Roberts' Hall of Fame candidacy, and the ABS challenge system in baseball.
This week we discuss the removal of Harry Kalas' name from an establishment in Citizen's Bank Park. Is this a big deal, little deal, or no deal? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the debut and career of pitcher Jim Abbott. Its hard enough being a pitcher in MLB, but how much more respect and admiration does one deserve for doing it with a single hand? A lot! Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Robin Roberts. He did not turn out to be quite the laugher we expected, but are his great seasons in the 1950s enough to warrant his call to Cooperstown? In our singlular parting shot this week discusses the ABS challenge system and if it is just a continuation of the replay can of worms that can never be closed. Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with all Phillies ads for McDonalds, Levi Jeans, and a gameday promo from 1983! Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
