Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast… more A-Rod.

Am I supposed to IGNORE Alex Rodriguez? No, but maybe I need to stop intellectually defending him.

Also a comparing and contrasting A-Rod and LeBron

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

Lots of great teams missed out on winning it all, but few as perplexing as the Blue Jays of the late 1980’s.

So much negativity regarding yesterday’s ballot.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!

Today on the Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I continue to talk about the Hall of Fame, blame the writers for the back log and wonder what exactly Dan LeBatard did that was so wrong.

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is a salute to Jerry Coleman.

The man did so many things with his life as a baseball player, a soldier and an announcer and reached the pinnacle in all of them.

His was a life worth celebrating.

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.

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 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.)

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.

Is Roy Halladay a Hall of Famer? I think so.

And how close was Joe Torre from never being a Yankee manager? Or just manager for one season?

REALLY close!

While reading through the book Billy Ball by Billy Martin (and Phil Pepe), I stumbled across an interesting passage.

Evidently Billy Martin and I had similar ideas of how to set up a batting order… one where common sense triumphs of conventional wisdom.

The only city that has never hosted a World Series could turn things around if they learned the CORRECT lessons taught by the 2013 Red Sox. And with Felix Hernandez on the team, they have taken big steps towards the World Series.
