Short Hops & Tall Tales — Brandon and Noah are back with a fun Hall of Fame twist! They lead off with a discussion about the Veterans Committee Inductees (and get angry for Dick Allen), and reflect on several players that they kind of already assumed were in the Hall of Fame already. Then, rather than rehash the same Hall ballot discussion again, they start up their own Short Hops Hall, celebrating the most decorated and iconic players in baseball film. Trimming a ballot of 18 to 5 inductees leads to heated debate, and multiple celebrity impressions. Tune in now for one of the funniest episodes of the year!
