Episode 171: Kevin Brown with Neil Paine


Listen Later

Jim is joined by sportswriter for The Messenger, Neil Paine, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB starting pitcher Kevin Brown. Jim and Neil first cover Brown's nasty sinker and how that translated to Brown giving up very few home runs despite playing in the steroids era (5:49). Then, they discuss the significance of Brown making back-to-back World Series as the ace of different teams, his own "flu game" in the 1997 NLCS, and compare Brown to the late Roy Halladay (11:54). Finally, they rank Brown among his 1990s pitching contemporaries (31:36), before reaching a final verdict on whether or not Brown belongs in Cooperstown (50:39).
