But despite this, and a pro career that spanned seven decades in which he was brought back to get his final big league hit 45 years ago this week at the age of 50, Miñoso has been repeatedly snubbed for the Hall of Fame. Mike and Bill dig into why, and how Miñoso went from being one of the best players in the world to largely overlooked by fans today. Plus, happy birthday to Gene Bearden and Max Bishop!
