Baseball Hall of Fame. It's pretty much all over for
the Baseball Hall of Fame. The writers have done it.
They have ruined the Hall of Fame with cheating astro
(00:25):
Carlos Beltron being elected to Cooperstown. What message are the
baseball scribes sending to the convicted cheat from Houston? Also,
what changed for Andrew Jones, who had less than ten
percent of the vote. He picked up an extra seventy
two votes needed to go to Cooperstown. And should Major
(00:45):
League Baseball owners be raging as they are said to
be or just calm over the salary cap. They're raging
for a salary camp. Very upset by the Dodgers. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It

the first round but had Indiana beating Miami in the championships.
(03:37):
So congratulations there to all involve for the perfect brackets
for the listeners and forgetting one wrong there. Visit Fox
sports Radio dot com to check out the final leader board.
All right, so the business is out of the way,
and now we get down to the nitty gritty and
as the one at the bully pulpit here behind the
(03:57):
powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio, which apparently he's doing
pretty well. So I have the microphone here, I have
editorial control. There is no one story here that must
be talked about. There is no one story that must
be talked about for our purposes. Something happened that is
so egregious, so insane to the membrane that it has
(04:19):
to lead off the show. There's nothing else over the
last ten years that has defined this radio program. Then
a story involving decrepit activity deep in the heart of
Texas and it has taken a turn to the wild side.
So we'll start out at Cooper's Town that's in New York.
(04:39):
In New York, it was election day for the Hall
of Fame, and the announcement was made out. If you
saw this or not, Like I was busy, I don't
really care. I mean I care, but I wasn't paying attention.
I'm not a loser like you. I actually have a life,
all right, So fine, So maybe you missed it, so
we'll fill you in. Center Fielders and Andrew Jones, made
(05:01):
famous from his days as a kid for the Atlanta
Brais a teenager when he came up with the Atlanta
Braves years ago. In another life and centerfielder Carlos Beltron.
Carlos Beltron, it's painful to say the name.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He played for a gaggle of teams, kept getting bounced around. Normally,
great players don't bounce from team to team to team.
But Carlos Beltron, who played for the Royals, the Mets,
the Cardinals and that other team, along with Andrew Jones
who also played with the Dodgers. And when he played
with the Dodgers, he actually worked at SeaWorld as a
blue whale on the weekends. It was a wild he
(05:45):
was so fat with the Dodgers. But anyway, those guys
are in the Hall of Fame. And the story here
is rather obviously, if you paid any attention, any attention
at all, you know what the story is.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And the story here is Beltro.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So that's the part of this we're going to begin with,
and we're going to break this down piece by piece.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
A man that was convicted of being part of the
cheating A Strews has been voted in, has been voted in.
Let us discuss the question with Carlos Beltron, the cheating
astro elected to Cooper'stown what message have the baseball scribes
(06:36):
sent to the sporting world. So I've got Ringleader, Spirit, airlines,
and boot Lickuors, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a giant
trash can, because that should be what goes in to Cooper'stown.
(06:58):
You know, usually they put the face of the player.
It's a it's a mausoleum there in Cooperstown.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But they should.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Put a trash can instead of Beltron's face in the
Hall of Fame. Now that would be good. I would
support that. I would I don't think they're gonna do that,
but I would support that. So my first my first
thought is this is the end of the Hall of Fame.
We should have a moment of silence. We should all
sit shiva for the Hall of Fame. It's over. This
is the day the Hall of Fame died. This is it.
(07:26):
It's all over. All those holier than now baseball writers
who took that vote completely seriously have decided to defecate
all over the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All over it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Public defecation by baseball writers. What in God's name are
you doing? Seriously? You elected the dirty, rotten scoundrel Carlos
Beltron to Cooperstown. The BBWAA has pulled out the megaphone
(07:59):
and they have announced to every man, woman and child,
they have announced that cheating is okay. It is acceptable,
provided it's the right kind of cheating, and it's done
by the right guy. Because we liked him. We liked him,
so we're gonna put him in the Hall of Fame.
(08:20):
Beltron was not some kind of innocent bystander. He wasn't
just an eyewitness to what took place in Houston, the
single greatest cheating scandal in modern sports, the twenty seventeen Scumbags. Okay,
a trash can burlesque show, it's what it was. And
(08:41):
he was the adult in the room. Beltron was the
seasoned veteran and all that stuff. He was a ringleader,
a ringleader from the den of iniquity. That's where Beltron
was right there. The guy was might as well been
banging the drum. Literally, while the integrity, the integrity of
(09:05):
the sport was stuffed into a locker. They locked it,
and that locker had a hunk of metal, just a
piece of metal. According to the Commissioner of Baseball, they're
rob Manfreud, that's it. Welcome to the Hall. The baseball
riders said, my fat ass, Welcome to the Hall. And meanwhile,
you've got players along the lines of Barry Bonds and
(09:26):
Rocket Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez who's
now off the ballot, who's now off the ballot? All
those guys remain locked outside the halls, right, their noses
are pressed up against the glass there, and they're treated
like contaminated bio hazers because they cheated. Okay, you just
(09:49):
let a cheater in, dummy, You just let a cheater in, moron.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You let him in.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The writers now, because you know they're so on top
of Holy mountain, right, they put a moat around the
Hall of Fame, filled it with crocodiles. When any steroid
guy they don't like, I should say, gets in, I
don't like him. They of course, they rolled out the
red carpet here for electronic espionage. Can anyone make it
(10:19):
make sense? Can I mean to me, this isn't morality,
This is again selective outrage. It's the Hall of hypocrisy.
It's the Hall of hypocrisy. And steroid guys, now, they
were already in the Hall of Fame. I guess steroid
guys in the Hall of Fame already. Now you've gone
next level and said not only that, but we're going
(10:41):
to allow the cheating a holes to get in. Right,
big poppy David Ortiz comes to mind, right, look up
that list from back in the day. He didn't pass
the test, according to the Internet, and that's what I read.
So now you have a certified bonafide cheater, cheater, Carlos
(11:02):
Beltron who joins the Hall of Fame class. And so
spare us the think peace sermons. I can always tell
it that they're going to say, oh, well, this is
a healing moment.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You've just soiled the Hall of Fame. You have, You've
just done it. Congratulations, it's over. It's as meaningful as
the pro bouncy ball Hall of Fame with Muffett McGraw
and Russian coaches you've never heard of. You've done the
same to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Congratulations. So there
you go. You've exposed the Hall for what it is.
(11:36):
The Hall of Fame a dusty museum about four hours
from New York City and it's run by the gatekeepers
there with crooked measuring sticks and selective amnesia, and the
badge reads.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The fine print rule you right below that. The fine
print says rules applied differently. Rules applied differently, is what
it says. They're nowwha continuing the train of thought. So
the other member of the Hall of Fame is also bizarre.
It's a different kind of bizarre. This has become the
new normal now in baseball. So former Atlanta bravestar Andrew
(12:13):
Jones with a weird spelling of Andrew. But Andrew Jones
who was on the ninth of ten possible appearances on
the Hall of Fame ballot, meaning the previous eight years
he was eligible for the Hall of Fame, he didn't
get in. So on year nine out of ten, the
Hall of Fame ballot came back and all of a sudden,
(12:34):
he had picked up an extra seventy plus votes for
the Hall of Fame, and so he got the required threshold.
He got to get over seventy five percent. Andrew Jones
got seventy eight point four he needed seventy five. So
he's in question for the Esteem panel. What changed? What
do you think changed for Andrew Jones to pick up
(12:56):
the extra seventy two votes need to get into Cooper's down.
So the answer is capitol En nothing. Capitol En nothing changed.
The man's in his late forties. He made a lot
of money. He's not hit any more home runs.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I checked.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No more gold gloves added to his baseball reference page.
More likely than not, Andrew Jones is sitting around eating
cinnabon and watching YouTube videos on how to put better
when he's out golfing. So he went from seven percent
when he first popped up on the ball at Andrew
Jones seven percent of the electorate to seventy eight over
(13:39):
seventy eight percent. That is not growth that involved. That
should be investigation. Let's get let's get an investigation. I
think this thing was rigged. What's going on here? That's
the dollar menu Hall of Fame and this is when
you think about the cheater Carlos Beltron on the Hall
of Fame and then you put Andrew Jones in, who
had seven percent of the vote. That is a one
(14:02):
way ticket on Spirit Airlines to crazy Town. Congratulations, baseball scribes,
did we do mail in ballots? Can we check the
verification on that? The ballot harvesting. Was there any of
that going on for Andrew Jones to get in the
Hall of Fame? Somebody checked the truck of the cars
in the back of that pickup truck. There's got to
be boxes of ballots for the Hall of Fame, all right.
(14:24):
And it makes the baseball scribes and they're a holes anyway.
Most of these guys. I have some friends that are
baseball rest A lot of them are just schmucks. They're
all really little people, and some of them wear bow
ties and they think they're like God's gift to baseball,
and you obviously are not. You voted a cheater in
and a guy that had seven percent of the vote
all of a sudden gets in.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This just looks so ridiculous, so ridiculous. Hall of Fame
is a pass fail situation. It's kind of like you're
either pregnant or you're not pregnant. You know, it's not
a gray area. There's like that, only there's a gray area.
They're either gonna have your pregnant or you're not pregnant.
And there's no almost, right, there's no almost. It's not
(15:05):
fifty shades of gray and yet here we sit on
this sad day for baseball and really depressing day. I mean,
I was hoping to go to the Hall of Fame
some day. I don't think i'll go now. I think
I will avoid it. I actually was driving one time.
I was driving through Central I was running from Buffalo
down to New York City, and I was like, well,
I could go to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
This is many years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's so far off the beaten path out in the
woods that it would have taken an extra two hours
and really four hours because I had to go back
the other way. And I'm like, I go some of it,
but I don't really want to go. I mean, you're
gonna put a cheater in there. Why do I need
to go. I don't need to go. You can go
for me, you can go for me. You talk about
lowering the ball the bar, right, lowering the bar like
(15:47):
doing the limbo? How low can you go? And all
that stuff, and this is continue Andrew Jones gets in.
But you had Scottie Rowling in recent years, Billy Wagner
and now Andrew Jones, and people are so clue on.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Why this is bad. I've always said, oh, I know,
you're gonna rip the Hall of Fame, and you don't understand.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
This is the feedback I get from you idiots. This
is the feedback I get from you idiots. Let me explain,
all right, the Hall of Fame to have legitimacy, this
is my my take on this. The Hall of Fame
to be legitimate should be exclusive. You have to have standards,
you have to have stand If everyone gets in the
(16:27):
Hall of Fame, it's just it's just a big venue
with nice lighting. It's not it's nothing special. It's just
another random museum thing. There's nothing special about it. You
lower the standards by putting Billy Wagner, Scott Rowland and
now Andrew Jones in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You lower the standards. You don't honor more players. You're not.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's not being inclusive, all right, which was the big
word a few years ago. It's not about that. If
everyone is getting it right, it doesn't again honor more players.
What it does is it cheapens the ones who earned
it legitimately. And that's what you've done. You've cheapened the
Hall of Fame for Babe Ruth and Willie Mays and
all the other greats, all the other greats. You've cheapened
(17:09):
it with what you've done. Congratulations, I help. You're proud
of yourself. You lose your baseball writers, get job by.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Your right now.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
The other part of this a developing story as tensions
being ratcheted up involving the sport of baseball. The owners
are said to be quote raging in the wake of
Kyle Tucker's record breaking contract with the Dodgers in average
annual value as he gets sixty million dollars a year,
(17:36):
and behind a paywall on the Athletic, they're reporting it
is one hundred percent a certainty, one hundred percent of
certainty that the owners will have a salary cap. Now,
my former radio partner actually did some shows with this
guy when I worked at EI years ago, Evan Drelich,
who's a base he's a scribe at the Athletic and
he covers the business of sports, and he wrote that
(17:58):
Major League Baseball is going to go for a cap
no matter what it takes, according to his source. So question,
should major League Baseball owners be ranging for a salary cap?
So I look at this one cross eyed, I look
at this one cross eyed, and another one of these
(18:20):
things that I can't figure out. I'm not that bright.
That's why I'm doing the Overnight show. I don't understand
why poverty fans are out there acting like billionaire boot lickuers.
It blows me away. Can you explain to me why
you're a billionaire boot licker?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'd like to know. I'll give out the number in
a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's a cold war and the regular joes are the
guys working in factory driving a truck right, working their
ass off, and they're carrying the water for the aristocrats.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Like what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Like it's a total show game. It's trickeration, and they're
laughing at you and you're playing along. These billionaires have
convinced the regular guy, the schmo, the person with the
lunch pail, the hard hat, that crowd that the outfielder
getting the big contract is the reason that your tickets
are expensive and you're paying twenty two dollars for nachos
(19:13):
in a plastic bowl. Yeah, again, the billionaire bootlicking thing.
You've convinced that these are blue collar people doing this.
It's the ultimate con, is what it is. It's the
ultimate con. You've got the fans carrying the water for
guys who own private islands. We really need to help
these people out. We really need to make sure they
(19:35):
keep more of their money. It's very important. And the
other thing is, like all these only a major League
baseball team. You own it because you want to go
to social events in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills in
South Beach and hang out with other a holes that
will ask you, oh like to own your team and
all that stuff. So that's why you buy a team.
It's also a license to print money, it is, and
you never ever sell a team for less money. The
(19:57):
Tampa Bay Race who suck finance, actually everyone says they
suck financially. They played a minor league ballpark last week
as a hurricane ripped the roof off the stadium. They
just fetched one point seven billion. Okay, there's a conga line,
do the conga a conga line of these robber barons
(20:17):
who are waiting to buy these professional sports teams, even baseball.
Why passive income, That's why, great passive income.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's a it's a geyser that never runs dry.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The Major League Baseball pie twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's a big pie.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Twelve that's a big a pizza pie twelve billion dollars.
So if you do the Malard math on it, as
I understated it, this malee of math. So if you
cap and say, well, we've got to divide the revenue,
twelve billion is the pie. So that would mean if
you spread the butter on the bread all over and
you do the math on that, that would mean that
(20:55):
each team has to have a two hundred million dollars payroll,
because it would be six billion if my math is correct.
So okay, you think the pirates want to go for that,
there's other issues here where you you wouldn't have the
money giving teams giving it, like the pirates and the
A's who aren't trying to win, you know, embarrassing franchises
like to add the marlins. Uh, so they don't want that.
(21:17):
It's a cold war, is what it is. And the
owners want fans to be their infantry. And it sounds
to me like many of dumb many of the dumb
people are going along with this, like you're you're falling,
you're drinking for the the kool aid and the cry poor.
Uh you know they cry poor. So the owners are
the ones that are crying poor here the actual people
that are like not poor, poor, but you know, not
(21:39):
naked as much as these people. Uh, the owners are
crying poverty and they're collecting giant amount of the small
market teams. The teams aren't trying get checks from the
Dodgers and the Mets and the teams that are actually trying.
And it's the equivalent. I guess the analogy would be
like if you're starving and you you're at a restaurant
and you like, I'm vote and I'm gonna give the
(22:02):
steak back, the porterhouse steak. I'm gonna give that back
to the restaurant owner because even though I'm really hungry
and I'm starving, I want them to have it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I just they don't need it. You know, they have
plenty of steak, but I want them to have it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But I'm starving. I just think they should have it.
It's comical. Please stop advocating, all right, Stop advocating for
the house to win. The House always wins. The House
always wins. Is The Ben Mahlor Show. If you would

fun it is here in our number one. On this Wednesday,
the twenty first day of January, and the Ben Mallers
Show reacting to the news of the end of the
Baseball Hall of Fame. It's pretty much all over for
the Baseball Hall of Fame. The writers have done it.
They have ruined the Hall of Fame with cheating astro
(00:25):
Carlos Beltron being elected to Cooperstown. What message are the
baseball scribes sending to the convicted cheat from Houston? Also,
what changed for Andrew Jones, who had less than ten
percent of the vote. He picked up an extra seventy
two votes needed to go to Cooperstown. And should Major
(00:45):
League Baseball owners be raging as they are said to
be or just calm over the salary cap. They're raging
for a salary camp. Very upset by the Dodgers. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Another amazing institution of sport has been tarnish. It is
all over for something in my youth that I was
told was holier than now, and it can go away.
It's all over, baby, Welcome in not beginning come another

Radio College Football Playoff Bracket Challenge. For listeners in the
bracket challenge had perfect brackets and winning the host Stanley's
was Kerrie Rhodes, who had only one incorrect pick in
the first round but had Indiana beating Miami in the championships.
(03:37):
So congratulations there to all involve for the perfect brackets
for the listeners and forgetting one wrong there. Visit Fox
sports Radio dot com to check out the final leader board.
All right, so the business is out of the way,
and now we get down to the nitty gritty and
as the one at the bully pulpit here behind the
(03:57):
powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio, which apparently he's doing
pretty well. So I have the microphone here, I have
editorial control. There is no one story here that must
be talked about. There is no one story that must
be talked about for our purposes. Something happened that is
so egregious, so insane to the membrane that it has
(04:19):
to lead off the show. There's nothing else over the
last ten years that has defined this radio program. Then
a story involving decrepit activity deep in the heart of
Texas and it has taken a turn to the wild side.
So we'll start out at Cooper's Town that's in New York.
(04:39):
In New York, it was election day for the Hall
of Fame, and the announcement was made out. If you
saw this or not, Like I was busy, I don't
really care. I mean I care, but I wasn't paying attention.
I'm not a loser like you. I actually have a life,
all right, So fine, So maybe you missed it, so
we'll fill you in. Center Fielders and Andrew Jones, made
(05:01):
famous from his days as a kid for the Atlanta
Brais a teenager when he came up with the Atlanta
Braves years ago. In another life and centerfielder Carlos Beltron.
Carlos Beltron, it's painful to say the name.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He played for a gaggle of teams, kept getting bounced around. Normally,
great players don't bounce from team to team to team.
But Carlos Beltron, who played for the Royals, the Mets,
the Cardinals and that other team, along with Andrew Jones
who also played with the Dodgers. And when he played
with the Dodgers, he actually worked at SeaWorld as a
blue whale on the weekends. It was a wild he
(05:45):
was so fat with the Dodgers. But anyway, those guys
are in the Hall of Fame. And the story here
is rather obviously, if you paid any attention, any attention
at all, you know what the story is.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And the story here is Beltro.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So that's the part of this we're going to begin with,
and we're going to break this down piece by piece.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
A man that was convicted of being part of the
cheating A Strews has been voted in, has been voted in.
Let us discuss the question with Carlos Beltron, the cheating
astro elected to Cooper'stown what message have the baseball scribes
(06:36):
sent to the sporting world. So I've got Ringleader, Spirit, airlines,
and boot Lickuors, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a giant
trash can, because that should be what goes in to Cooper'stown.
(06:58):
You know, usually they put the face of the player.
It's a it's a mausoleum there in Cooperstown.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But they should.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Put a trash can instead of Beltron's face in the
Hall of Fame. Now that would be good. I would
support that. I would I don't think they're gonna do that,
but I would support that. So my first my first
thought is this is the end of the Hall of Fame.
We should have a moment of silence. We should all
sit shiva for the Hall of Fame. It's over. This
is the day the Hall of Fame died. This is it.
(07:26):
It's all over. All those holier than now baseball writers
who took that vote completely seriously have decided to defecate
all over the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All over it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Public defecation by baseball writers. What in God's name are
you doing? Seriously? You elected the dirty, rotten scoundrel Carlos
Beltron to Cooperstown. The BBWAA has pulled out the megaphone
(07:59):
and they have announced to every man, woman and child,
they have announced that cheating is okay. It is acceptable,
provided it's the right kind of cheating, and it's done
by the right guy. Because we liked him. We liked him,
so we're gonna put him in the Hall of Fame.
(08:20):
Beltron was not some kind of innocent bystander. He wasn't
just an eyewitness to what took place in Houston, the
single greatest cheating scandal in modern sports, the twenty seventeen Scumbags. Okay,
a trash can burlesque show, it's what it was. And
(08:41):
he was the adult in the room. Beltron was the
seasoned veteran and all that stuff. He was a ringleader,
a ringleader from the den of iniquity. That's where Beltron
was right there. The guy was might as well been
banging the drum. Literally, while the integrity, the integrity of
(09:05):
the sport was stuffed into a locker. They locked it,
and that locker had a hunk of metal, just a
piece of metal. According to the Commissioner of Baseball, they're
rob Manfreud, that's it. Welcome to the Hall. The baseball
riders said, my fat ass, Welcome to the Hall. And meanwhile,
you've got players along the lines of Barry Bonds and
(09:26):
Rocket Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez who's
now off the ballot, who's now off the ballot? All
those guys remain locked outside the halls, right, their noses
are pressed up against the glass there, and they're treated
like contaminated bio hazers because they cheated. Okay, you just
(09:49):
let a cheater in, dummy, You just let a cheater in, moron.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You let him in.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The writers now, because you know they're so on top
of Holy mountain, right, they put a moat around the
Hall of Fame, filled it with crocodiles. When any steroid
guy they don't like, I should say, gets in, I
don't like him. They of course, they rolled out the
red carpet here for electronic espionage. Can anyone make it
(10:19):
make sense? Can I mean to me, this isn't morality,
This is again selective outrage. It's the Hall of hypocrisy.
It's the Hall of hypocrisy. And steroid guys, now, they
were already in the Hall of Fame. I guess steroid
guys in the Hall of Fame already. Now you've gone
next level and said not only that, but we're going
(10:41):
to allow the cheating a holes to get in. Right,
big poppy David Ortiz comes to mind, right, look up
that list from back in the day. He didn't pass
the test, according to the Internet, and that's what I read.
So now you have a certified bonafide cheater, cheater, Carlos
(11:02):
Beltron who joins the Hall of Fame class. And so
spare us the think peace sermons. I can always tell
it that they're going to say, oh, well, this is
a healing moment.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You've just soiled the Hall of Fame. You have, You've
just done it. Congratulations, it's over. It's as meaningful as
the pro bouncy ball Hall of Fame with Muffett McGraw
and Russian coaches you've never heard of. You've done the
same to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Congratulations. So there
you go. You've exposed the Hall for what it is.
(11:36):
The Hall of Fame a dusty museum about four hours
from New York City and it's run by the gatekeepers
there with crooked measuring sticks and selective amnesia, and the
badge reads.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The fine print rule you right below that. The fine
print says rules applied differently. Rules applied differently, is what
it says. They're nowwha continuing the train of thought. So
the other member of the Hall of Fame is also bizarre.
It's a different kind of bizarre. This has become the
new normal now in baseball. So former Atlanta bravestar Andrew
(12:13):
Jones with a weird spelling of Andrew. But Andrew Jones
who was on the ninth of ten possible appearances on
the Hall of Fame ballot, meaning the previous eight years
he was eligible for the Hall of Fame, he didn't
get in. So on year nine out of ten, the
Hall of Fame ballot came back and all of a sudden,
(12:34):
he had picked up an extra seventy plus votes for
the Hall of Fame, and so he got the required threshold.
He got to get over seventy five percent. Andrew Jones
got seventy eight point four he needed seventy five. So
he's in question for the Esteem panel. What changed? What
do you think changed for Andrew Jones to pick up
(12:56):
the extra seventy two votes need to get into Cooper's down.
So the answer is capitol En nothing. Capitol En nothing changed.
The man's in his late forties. He made a lot
of money. He's not hit any more home runs.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I checked.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No more gold gloves added to his baseball reference page.
More likely than not, Andrew Jones is sitting around eating
cinnabon and watching YouTube videos on how to put better
when he's out golfing. So he went from seven percent
when he first popped up on the ball at Andrew
Jones seven percent of the electorate to seventy eight over
(13:39):
seventy eight percent. That is not growth that involved. That
should be investigation. Let's get let's get an investigation. I
think this thing was rigged. What's going on here? That's
the dollar menu Hall of Fame and this is when
you think about the cheater Carlos Beltron on the Hall
of Fame and then you put Andrew Jones in, who
had seven percent of the vote. That is a one
(14:02):
way ticket on Spirit Airlines to crazy Town. Congratulations, baseball scribes,
did we do mail in ballots? Can we check the
verification on that? The ballot harvesting. Was there any of
that going on for Andrew Jones to get in the
Hall of Fame? Somebody checked the truck of the cars
in the back of that pickup truck. There's got to
be boxes of ballots for the Hall of Fame, all right.
(14:24):
And it makes the baseball scribes and they're a holes anyway.
Most of these guys. I have some friends that are
baseball rest A lot of them are just schmucks. They're
all really little people, and some of them wear bow
ties and they think they're like God's gift to baseball,
and you obviously are not. You voted a cheater in
and a guy that had seven percent of the vote
all of a sudden gets in.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This just looks so ridiculous, so ridiculous. Hall of Fame
is a pass fail situation. It's kind of like you're
either pregnant or you're not pregnant. You know, it's not
a gray area. There's like that, only there's a gray area.
They're either gonna have your pregnant or you're not pregnant.
And there's no almost, right, there's no almost. It's not
(15:05):
fifty shades of gray and yet here we sit on
this sad day for baseball and really depressing day. I mean,
I was hoping to go to the Hall of Fame
some day. I don't think i'll go now. I think
I will avoid it. I actually was driving one time.
I was driving through Central I was running from Buffalo
down to New York City, and I was like, well,
I could go to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
This is many years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's so far off the beaten path out in the
woods that it would have taken an extra two hours
and really four hours because I had to go back
the other way. And I'm like, I go some of it,
but I don't really want to go. I mean, you're
gonna put a cheater in there. Why do I need
to go. I don't need to go. You can go
for me, you can go for me. You talk about
lowering the ball the bar, right, lowering the bar like
(15:47):
doing the limbo? How low can you go? And all
that stuff, and this is continue Andrew Jones gets in.
But you had Scottie Rowling in recent years, Billy Wagner
and now Andrew Jones, and people are so clue on.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Why this is bad. I've always said, oh, I know,
you're gonna rip the Hall of Fame, and you don't understand.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
This is the feedback I get from you idiots. This
is the feedback I get from you idiots. Let me explain,
all right, the Hall of Fame to have legitimacy, this
is my my take on this. The Hall of Fame
to be legitimate should be exclusive. You have to have standards,
you have to have stand If everyone gets in the
(16:27):
Hall of Fame, it's just it's just a big venue
with nice lighting. It's not it's nothing special. It's just
another random museum thing. There's nothing special about it. You
lower the standards by putting Billy Wagner, Scott Rowland and
now Andrew Jones in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You lower the standards. You don't honor more players. You're not.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's not being inclusive, all right, which was the big
word a few years ago. It's not about that. If
everyone is getting it right, it doesn't again honor more players.
What it does is it cheapens the ones who earned
it legitimately. And that's what you've done. You've cheapened the
Hall of Fame for Babe Ruth and Willie Mays and
all the other greats, all the other greats. You've cheapened
(17:09):
it with what you've done. Congratulations, I help. You're proud
of yourself. You lose your baseball writers, get job by.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Your right now.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
The other part of this a developing story as tensions
being ratcheted up involving the sport of baseball. The owners
are said to be quote raging in the wake of
Kyle Tucker's record breaking contract with the Dodgers in average
annual value as he gets sixty million dollars a year,
(17:36):
and behind a paywall on the Athletic, they're reporting it
is one hundred percent a certainty, one hundred percent of
certainty that the owners will have a salary cap. Now,
my former radio partner actually did some shows with this
guy when I worked at EI years ago, Evan Drelich,
who's a base he's a scribe at the Athletic and
he covers the business of sports, and he wrote that
(17:58):
Major League Baseball is going to go for a cap
no matter what it takes, according to his source. So question,
should major League Baseball owners be ranging for a salary cap?
So I look at this one cross eyed, I look
at this one cross eyed, and another one of these
(18:20):
things that I can't figure out. I'm not that bright.
That's why I'm doing the Overnight show. I don't understand
why poverty fans are out there acting like billionaire boot lickuers.
It blows me away. Can you explain to me why
you're a billionaire boot licker?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'd like to know. I'll give out the number in
a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's a cold war and the regular joes are the
guys working in factory driving a truck right, working their
ass off, and they're carrying the water for the aristocrats.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Like what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Like it's a total show game. It's trickeration, and they're
laughing at you and you're playing along. These billionaires have
convinced the regular guy, the schmo, the person with the
lunch pail, the hard hat, that crowd that the outfielder
getting the big contract is the reason that your tickets
are expensive and you're paying twenty two dollars for nachos
(19:13):
in a plastic bowl. Yeah, again, the billionaire bootlicking thing.
You've convinced that these are blue collar people doing this.
It's the ultimate con, is what it is. It's the
ultimate con. You've got the fans carrying the water for
guys who own private islands. We really need to help
these people out. We really need to make sure they
(19:35):
keep more of their money. It's very important. And the
other thing is, like all these only a major League
baseball team. You own it because you want to go
to social events in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills in
South Beach and hang out with other a holes that
will ask you, oh like to own your team and
all that stuff. So that's why you buy a team.
It's also a license to print money, it is, and
you never ever sell a team for less money. The
(19:57):
Tampa Bay Race who suck finance, actually everyone says they
suck financially. They played a minor league ballpark last week
as a hurricane ripped the roof off the stadium. They
just fetched one point seven billion. Okay, there's a conga line,
do the conga a conga line of these robber barons
(20:17):
who are waiting to buy these professional sports teams, even baseball.
Why passive income, That's why, great passive income.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's a it's a geyser that never runs dry.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The Major League Baseball pie twelve billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's a big pie.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Twelve that's a big a pizza pie twelve billion dollars.
So if you do the Malard math on it, as
I understated it, this malee of math. So if you
cap and say, well, we've got to divide the revenue,
twelve billion is the pie. So that would mean if
you spread the butter on the bread all over and
you do the math on that, that would mean that
(20:55):
each team has to have a two hundred million dollars payroll,
because it would be six billion if my math is correct.
So okay, you think the pirates want to go for that,
there's other issues here where you you wouldn't have the
money giving teams giving it, like the pirates and the
A's who aren't trying to win, you know, embarrassing franchises
like to add the marlins. Uh, so they don't want that.
(21:17):
It's a cold war, is what it is. And the
owners want fans to be their infantry. And it sounds
to me like many of dumb many of the dumb
people are going along with this, like you're you're falling,
you're drinking for the the kool aid and the cry poor.
Uh you know they cry poor. So the owners are
the ones that are crying poor here the actual people
that are like not poor, poor, but you know, not
(21:39):
naked as much as these people. Uh, the owners are
crying poverty and they're collecting giant amount of the small
market teams. The teams aren't trying get checks from the
Dodgers and the Mets and the teams that are actually trying.
And it's the equivalent. I guess the analogy would be
like if you're starving and you you're at a restaurant
and you like, I'm vote and I'm gonna give the
(22:02):
steak back, the porterhouse steak. I'm gonna give that back
to the restaurant owner because even though I'm really hungry
and I'm starving, I want them to have it.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I just they don't need it. You know, they have
plenty of steak, but I want them to have it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But I'm starving. I just think they should have it.
It's comical. Please stop advocating, all right, Stop advocating for
the house to win. The House always wins. The House
always wins. Is The Ben Mahlor Show. If you would
