This week we discuss the careers of Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda. Two great players that were part of stellar Giants teams and their presence in baseball will be greatly missed. For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss a game were pitcher Eddie Rommel threw 17 innings of relief. Connie Mack wanted to save train fare, but just how few people did he bring?

Our Hall of Famer this week is Catcher Roy Campanella. I started the conversation tepidly, but was my frown turned upside down when all was said and done? For our parting shots we speak on the life of Moe Berg, MLB Blackout Rules/The Phillies playing on the road July 4th, and the MLB All-Star selection process.

Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials in between segments with Willie Mays for Schaefer Beer, Catfish Hunter and Dwight Gooden for Diet Pepsi, and Reggie Jackson for Reggie Bars.

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.
