2024 HOF Inductions of 4 greats & trading deadline stuff – Ep. 535

Send us a Text Message.

Manager Jim Leyland, along with all-time greats Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer all were officially inducted into Cooperstown this past Sunday. All 4 made heartfelt and good speeches. It’s always great to see the amount of HOFers that show up on a hot July afternoon to sit outside in a jacket and tie to show their respect for the newest inductees. 

Helton and Mauer played their entire careers for one team only – the Rockies and Twins respectively. Beltre came up at 19 with the Dodgers but saw great years in Seattle and Texas with a quick one year stop in Boston.  Beltre resides in the same stratosphere with Mike Schmidt and Brooks Robinson as overall great 3rd basemen.
