Not in Hall of Fame
Kirk Buchner and Robert Dobek dive deep into one of baseball’s most enduring debates: Should Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson be inducted into the Hall of Fame? With MLB lifting bans on 18 individuals, the conversation expands into the ethics of legacy, the steroid era, MVP controversies, and how Hall of Fame standards vary across sports.

From the 1919 Black Sox scandal to modern PED suspensions, this episode explores whether greatness on the field can—or should—outweigh flaws off it. Plus, the guys go off-script with hot takes on football, hockey, and the business behind Hall of Fame voting.
