    Aug 6 2024
    8-3-2024 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the Baseball Hall of Fame, particularly, the obvious cases for Barry Bonds, Pete Rose, and Roger Clemens. John states that their statistical achievements merit inclusion on their own. John further pushes the issue by putting the credibility of the entire Hall of Fame process and institution on trial, as the Hall of Fame of any and every sport should include the players with the best career statistics.

    6-13-2024 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about how Jerry West was a top five (5) Los Angeles Laker player of all time and is surprised many do not understand how good a NBA player he was.

He then acknowledges the Stanley Cup as the most prestigious award, trophy, and championship in all of professional sports. At the end, he asks his viewers and listeners a question he very much values the answer to.

    Passed Ball Show #730 (6/5/2024)
    Jun 5 2024
    6-5-2024 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program explaining why Josh Gibson deserves the all time cumulative batting average record in Major League Baseball history. While John stops short of claiming you are a racist if you do not accept the updated records are the real records, he feels those that are the most bothered, insulted, and angriest over the changes are doing so with racial undertones. John references the Marcus Stroman durag comment made by Bob Brenly as an example where racial undertones exist even in a person who is not a racist person. John finishes this discussion by questioning the players of pre- 1947. John feels in 2024 people could get together to support a cause by why not pre- 1947? Even those players who were not considered racist have to own the fact that nobody stepped up to make a case that black players should play on the same field as white players. Recognizing Josh Gibson as the all time career batting average leader does nothing to change what was done to him and the other black players of his time. John once again questions why Negro Leagues history is not recognized as predating 1920 and calls John Donaldson one of the top ten starting pitchers of all time.
