Dick Allen was kept out of the Hall of Fame by a single Veterans Committee vote.

That didn’t sit well with me nor with author Dan Epstein. The creator of such classic books as Big Hair and Plastic Grass and Stars and Strikes joined me to discuss Allen’s legacy.

It is an honor the past episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Yankees improve their bullpen and defense. Didi Gregorious doesn’t need to replace Hall of Fame Derek Jeter. He just needs to replace old and breaking down Derek Jeter.

Long time and beloved figure of the Red Sox organization Dick Bresciani passed away this weekend.

His thumbprint on the Red Sox was indelible.

His wife, my first grade teacher, was instrumental in making me a baseball fanatic.

If it wasn’t for Mrs. Bresciani, there would be no Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is time for The Sunday Request.

How will the Sandoval trade work out?

It is more than just looking at the numbers. Fans have to love and embrace him and there needs to be a “Sandoval Game.”

Josh Donaldson was traded? WHAT?

The A’s sent their MVP candidate for 4 players including 3 minor leaguers who could be great or could fizzle?

It is time for The Sunday Request.

Had Ted Williams not missed 3 years of his prime and 2 more seasons of solid numbers, his final stats would still put him among the best of all time.

I guess that made him an even bigger bad ass serving our country.

It is an episode of hypotheticals on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Driving to San Jose Airport, I struck up a conversation with my dad about Pablo Sandoval and whether or not he will end up with the Red Sox or Giants.

Why have a private conversation when you can turn it into a podcast?

The brilliant Mike Nichols died the other day.

The maestro was so brilliant and prolific in his career that he would have been a legend even if he had never directed The Graduate, which was the Citizen Kane of comedies.

His career reminded me of Branch Rickey’s, who transformed baseball in ways that are still felt today and would have been one of its greatest pioneers even if he never broke the color barrier.

It is another strange comparison episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Marlins make a long term deal for Giancarlo Stanton to win over fans in the short term.

The Cardinals make a short term deal for Jason Heyward to keep fans for the long term.

It is Sunday, which at The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast. means it is time for the Sunday Request

Of course pitchers should be eligible to win the MVP.

But the winners need to be announced BEFORE the playoffs begin. In fact they can track the voting like the Presidential elections.

If they can tabulate a nationwide election in one day, why not the post season awards?

It is an election coverage episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
