It is THE SUNDAY REQUEST on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

With a super crowded ballot, your pal Sully thinks that 5 new members of the Hall of Fame will join Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa in Cooperstown this summer.

That isn’t necessarily good news for Jack Morris.

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast looks at the Orioles.

What should they do? Why is signing Quinton Berry a good sign? And why they should be the lab for my bullpen experiment.

They’ve already listened to me about the smiling bird hat.

My dear friend Ritch Duncan (who you can follow on Twitter HERE) pointed out that every New York sports team kind of stinks now.

Whichever New York sports team rebuilds and puts together a fun, young, hungry elite team will capture the heart of the city for a new generation of sports fans.

That team will help end the deep freeze of New York sports.

That is the topic for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

JETER HAYES

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I talk about the greatest moment of every baseball year: The moment a team wins it all and stands alone as the kings of baseball.

My fascination with the ending of the baseball year and how it is celebrated is something I can discuss for hours. Today I do so for a little more than 20 minutes.

And yes, I talk about that picture above of Charlie Hayes and Derek Jeter making the final out of the 1996 World Series.

It is the final episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast for 2013.
It was a year of some great memories, some events that were impossible to predict and a tournament that showed the best talents from all over the world (that was played in October.)

Plus I explain why I will NOT rank the off season moves this year year.

With such an open ended question, I gave a complex open ended answer but ultimately came up with a single team.

Recorded at Sunken Diamond, baseball home of the Stanford Cardinal.

With Masahiro Tanaka posting soon, there will be a feeding frenzy for the services of a pitcher who has yet to pitch in the majors.

The Yankees, Mariners and Cubs will be desperate for him.

The Rangers and Dodgers would probably be the best landing spot for him.

The reasons and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast the topic is Mike Trout.

He can command top dollar and the Angels should resign the best talent in baseball NOW.

But has making “a big splash” with the likes of Pujols and Hamilton put them in a position where they can’t afford him.
