Rookie of the Year Award Missing It's Sheen and Amos Rusie's Case Not Looking So Clean
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of the Rookie of the Year Award, features a segment on Bill Haller's unique umpiring situation, and examines Amos Rusie's Hall of Fame candidacy.
This week we discuss the impact of the Rookie of the Year Award. Is this award actually significant on its own or should it only be looked back upon for further significance afterward or as missed potential? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss Bill Haller umpiring behind the plate while his brother Tom Haller catches for the Detroit Tigers. Should this ever happen and what potential issues could arise? Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher Amos Rusie. He was a 500 innings pitched machine for a time, but does his 9 full season career survive our scrutiny? In our singlular parting shot this week discusses Bob Feller's "Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom". Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials featuring Becky G for the WBC, Buck Martinez for Schneider's Hot Dogs, and Larry Walker for All-Star Baseball '99! 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.
