This week on the podcast the guys discuss the MiLB unionization, an examination of the Phillies first 7 games of the season, and dive into the tremendous impact on baseball by Jack Roosevelt Robinson.

We discuss whether or not Anthony Rendon got off too lightly for the mistake he made on opening, discuss the last of the completely Old Timers Hall of Fame classes of 1945 and 1946, and whether or not anyone besides Jackie Robinson should ever have their number retired by MLB. Please join us as we continue our mission to make The Hall small and we hope you'll enjoy the ride.

Opening Day is finally happening once again! This week sees the crew discussing their MLB predictions for the upcoming season, whether or not the Phillies can hang on despite injuries, and the Hall of Fame validity of a famous trio of infielders. Will playoff droughts be broken, will the Philies hang on without Rhys Hoskins, and will your favorite team stand a chance in the 2023 MLB season? You'll have to listen to find out! So, as always, sit back, relex, and enjoy another Small Hall Baseball Podcast!

This week the guys discuss the unfortunate injury to Edwin Diaz during the World Baseball Classic, take the scythe to another group of Hall of Famers, and comb through an article about the potentialy dangerous use of AstroTurf.

The Hall continues to get small, the contracts offered continue to be ridiculous for these players, and we may never know the whole truth about artificial playing surfaces. Hope you join us for another episode of the Small Hall Baseball podcast and we hope you'll enjoy th ride.

This week we examine the fabled collapse of the 1964 Phillies, the halting of hype for Andrew Painter, and what one of us really thinks of the World Baseball Classic. Join as we are discovering that more Hall of Famers can be shown the door, discuss whether or not pitchers should really be the ones calling their own pitches, and highlight the career of the recently retired Lorenzo Cain. Thank you for joining us, sit back, and join us try get our baseball hall to be small.

**We had technical difficulties early on so we had to bring Josh in via phone for most of the podcast as you'll the different in audio quality when that happens. Our apologies**

This week on the podcast the guys discuss the 1950 "Whiz Kids" Phillies, the seeminly short remaining life of Regional Sports Networks, and of course a new crop of Hall of Famers to discuss. Is it possible that they may actually be giving their first player the heave ho from the Hall and what effect will the loss of revenue from TV contracts have on handing out huge contracts to the likes Manny Machado and others? Hope you'll listen to find out the answers to those questions and more on the Small Hall Baseball Podcast!

On this edition of the Small Hall Baseball Podcast discuss whether or not winning a championship should be a prerequisite for the Hall of Hame, the dreadful 1972 Phillies season, as well as the last half of the 1939 Hall of Fame class. The boys show their admiration of the truly great career of Lou Gehrig, their amazement at the extreme value of Steve Carlton, and finish the show fondly remembering their recently deceased mother and grandmother that they loved very much and who touched all of their lives so profoundly. Sit back, enjoy, and glad to have you here!

The guys discuss the passing of Tim McCarver, even more rule changes, and back to the 1938/39 Hall of Fame classes with possibly our first player being thrown out of the Hall. On their quest to discover their own ideal Phillies lineup they will try to decide if current players can truly be an all-time Phillies player and one of them might just think so. We also come to the conclusion that Manny Machado is out of his mind, but is fully within his right to be as such. Sit down and enjoy another epsiode of the Small Hall Baseball Podcast!

This week we discuss the 2008 Phillies World Series winning season, discuss our favorite baseball movies(and least favorite for Josh), desperately try to figure out why the Padres gave a 36 year old Yu Darvish a 6 year deal, talk about the upcoming Pitchers/Catchers reporting, and the soon to start World Baseball Classic.

Discussions of the 1993 Phillies season, the 1937 Hall of Fame class with just how sneakily underrated they actually were, and the new 2023 MLB season rules changes. A magical season can mean a lot to an 11 year and unnecessary rules changes can really boil the blood of hardcore baseball fans.
