With Vizquel on his final year of eligibility on the BBWAA ballot, Kirk and Robert break down his legendary defensive prowess, his role in the iconic 1990s Cleveland Indians lineup, and how he stacks up against all-time greats like Ozzie Smith and Derek Jeter. But they also tackle the severe off-field domestic abuse and bat boy allegations that completely derailed his Cooperstown chances and turned him into a persona non grata in baseball.
Plus, the guys discuss the changing landscape of the Hall of Fame ballot, the controversial 10-year limit rule, future locks like Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, and wrap things up with some NHL Stanley Cup predictions involving Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
