This week on the podcast we discuss our oh so mutual love of what has become the Galactic Hype Train for Shohei Ohtani and some already calling him, "GOAT". We discuss the, frankly, insane rumored contract length and dollars some are floating and why that most certainly cannot end as well and people seem to think.

The last 3 1955 hall of famers are examined this week and another split-decision is upon us! Our Phillies continue win games, but we still aren't convinced this team is going places. Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
