Curt Flood with Benjamin Hochman
Manage episode 459562674 series 2888226
Jim is joined by St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist and Hall of Fame voter Benjamin Hochman to break down the HOF candidacy of former St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Curt Flood. First, Benjamin and Jim cover Flood's legacy as a trailblazer in the world of professional sports and workers' rights (11:33). Next, they discuss Flood's role on two Cardinals World Series championship teams, how as a player Flood compares favorably to Hall of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn, and Flood's relatively high WAR total in just 12 full MLB seasons (17:11). Finally, Benjamin and Jim break down the significance of the fact that only Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, and Brooks Robinson had more hits than Flood in the 1960s (39:18), before both stating whether or not they believe he deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (44:33).
