80 - 1999 Hall of Fame Ballot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark and Andy take on a new type of topic: the players that make up--or were excluded from--the 1999 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. This particular ballot was chock full of players who eventually were elected to the Hall of Fame, as well as plenty of others who have come very close. Your hosts highlight a player at each position whose career was noteworthy for one reason or another. As usual, they wrap it up with a scintillating round of Roll The Stat. Come along and relive some baseball memories
79 - Batting Average (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three years to the day since their last episode, Mark and Andy come back with an episode that may seem to defy the spirit of the show. However, maybe one cannot go beyond batting average without fully understanding batting average. Our hosts explore the genesis of the stat, why it has persisted despite its flaws, and which players have made it their calling card--as well as those for which the Mendoza line was a constant measuring stick. They wrap it up with a rollicking round of Roll The Stat.
