Listen "Hour 4: BT's Cross to Carry: Why Mattingly Gets Screwed While Cheaters Walk Free!"

Episode Synopsis

BT unleashes an impassioned rant over the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee disrespecting Don Mattingly, who received a shocking six votes despite his peak dominance and "contribution to the game." Tierney is furious that his all-time favorite player, a high-character star, is continually overlooked while other players with flawed résumés get in. Sal shifts gears to his chaotic weekend: a mad dash to Santaland at Macy's and the Rockefeller Tree where he battled crowds, strollers, and the clock for his family's annual picture. The hosts wrap up with the "Call of the Day," where Sal sarcastically wishes BT a "happy anniversary" of the Mets' massive Juan Soto signing—a reminder that you "can't win in the off-season." They also debate Buster Olney's call for Hall of Famers to admit to PED use to clear the way for Bonds and Clemens.
