ALWAYS a pleasure to join @jmiloch.bsky.social on Pod of Fame. This time I got to share the career and legacy of one of my favorite overlooked candidates. Oscar ”Heavy” Johnson was one of the greatest bats in the sport’s history… but his Hall of Fame case is much more complicated than that.

🚨NEW EP: HEAVY JOHNSON🚨 POF welcomes @adarowski.bsky.social from @baseball-reference.com to discuss the career and HOF candidacy of Oscar “Heavy” Johnson. We cover: 👑 1923 Triple Crown (.406/20/120) ⚾️ Career .370/.428/.592 Slash Line 🪖 25th Infantry Wreckers open.spotify.com/episode/4Xjd...

What could this be? Bad Boys Pistons? 2004 Pistons? 0-16 Lions? Barry Sanders? 1984 Detroit Tigers?

This one was a lot of fun. I have such a tough time separating Buddy Bell and Graig Nettles (and even Sal Bando and Darrell Evans and…). After doing a Pod of Fame on Buddy Bell and listening to this one on Graig Nettles I am… …no better at differentiating their Hall of Fame cases. 😅

🚨NEW EP: GRAIG NETTLES🚨 POF welcomes @DrPaulRSem to discuss the career and HOF candidacy of Graig Nettles. We cover: 🏆 Defensive Performance in 1978 WS ⚾️ Golden Age of 3B Gloves in 1970s 🐐 Is Nettles the Best Yankees 3B? ⚾️ Nice WAR, Not Nice BA open.spotify.com/episode/2sAk...

Even though I didn’t get to meet Buddy Bell at SABR (his flight was canceled), I got to talk about his career with Jim. We had this on our agenda for a while but kept punting it. It’s a case with a lot of nuance that raises a lot of questions, but I’m glad we discussed it. Some highlights:

Did we completely drop the ball by not having a live show this morning? I am sure the people next to us would have loved our Buddy Bell conversation.

Dolph Schayes has the 8th highest free throw percentage of any player in NBA history who stood at least 6-8. Absolutely incredible for a player who started his career in 1949.

When you look through the list of every #1 pick in the WNBA draft, you see mostly All-WNBA/HOF type pros. There are very few #1 overall picks in the WNBA that do not work out, which can not be said when looking at the NBA, MLB, and NFL.

In 1973, Detriot Tigers pitcher John Hiller recorded the second highest single season WAR total by a reliever in MLB history. Hiller finished 4th in the AL Cy Young and MVP vote that season.

Possibly the most underrated great in NBA history

Jon Lieber holds a special place in my heart, as he was my personal first 20-win pitcher. He went 20-6 for my Chicago Cubs in 2001, when I was 11. I sadly do not remember Greg Maddux’s 20-win season in 1992. Would love to hear who everyone’s first 20-win pitcher was.

In 1926, Mule Suttles of the St. Louis Stars put together of the greatest offensive seasons man has ever witnessed. In just 89 games: .425 Batting Average 32 Home Runs 130 RBI 19 Triples 28 Doubles 314 Total Bases 🤯 6.3 WAR

Tommy John was the Opening Day Starter 6 times during his MLB career: 1966- White Sox 1970- White Sox 1971- White Sox 1981- Yankees 1982- Yankees 1989- Yankees Pretty wild my dad was 5 when Tommy John started on Opening Day in 1966 and I was born 6 months after he started Opening Day in 1989.

Had fun doing this and managed to get in a mention about something my pal @adarowski.bsky.social might fight me on.
