The parade of questionable Hall of Fame outfielders continue, as Mike and Bill celebrate Chuck Klein being elected to Cooperstown by the Veterans Committee 45 years ago this week. Klein put together some of the greatest seasons in baseball history, but in some of the weirdest contexts in baseball history, before suddenly flaming out. What happened?

Plus, happy birthday to Ewell Russell and Terry Mulholland!
And farewell to Don Secrist, Jeff Torborg, Tommy Brown, and Bobby Cuellar.
