First and foremost, how about Mariano Rivera being the first unanimous selection to the Hall of Fame? Enter Sandman.
Episode 92 of Foul Territory: A Baseball Podcast has no one associated to the episode because no player has worn number 92 in baseball history. Hall of Fame selections lead this week’s Headlines with Mariano Rivera leading the way with perfection along with Roy Halladay, Edgar Martinez and Mike Mussina joining him. (Side note: Don’t ever cross Jed Rigney; he prefers to off his nemeses slowly and painfully.) Other headlines include A.J. Pollack signing with the Dodgers, Manny and Bryce still not signing, Kris Bryant and Evan Longoria spouting off about Manny and Bryce not signing, Sonny Gray getting signed and traded to the Reds, MLB proposes going back to the 15-day disabled list, Rangers sign Asdrubal Cabrera, Braves re-ink Nick Markakis, Mariners sign Ichiro, Kris Bryant disses St. Louis and Yadier Molina isn’t happy about it, Marlins hire Juan Pierre as a minor league outfield coordinator, government shutdown pushes Red Sox White House visit back, and Miller Park to become American Family Insurance Park in 2021.
This week’s Starting Nine follows with players who have Best Film nominee names in honor of the Academy Award nominations. Show closes with Extra Innings and a look outside the world of baseball with discussions on the NFL championship OT games, Fyre Festival documentaries, Jeff Bridges teasing a Big Lebowski return on Twitter and Magic Mike the Musical making its world premier in Boston.
