The baseball world lost a couple of pitchers recently. A member of the original Toronto Blue Jays who pitched twelve seasons with the team and one of the last pitchers in the majors to make 40 starts in a season, Jim Clancy passed away on July 14, 2025. Clancy was an all-star in 1982 who was near the top in many team statistical categories. He was 69. Bobby Jenks was the closer on the Chicago White Sox when they won the World Series in 2005. He was an all-star in 2006 and 2007. He was second in franchise history in saves. He passed away in Sintra, Portugal on July 4. He was just 44. ESPN has recently released an E-60 documentary on the life and career of Jim Abbott. One of the most inspirational athletes ever, he made it to the majors despite being born without a right hand. He defied all the odds when on September 4, 1993, he fired a no-hitter for the Yankees against the Cleveland Indians. Shawn and Howie discuss aspects of the documentary as well as the life of Jim Abbott.
