Wright on a One-Name Ballot? Voters Lose Their Minds!

Listen "Wright on a One-Name Ballot? Voters Lose Their Minds!"

Episode Synopsis

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the controversial 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, which they deem "light." The discussion kicks off with a viral single-vote ballot for David Wright, prompting a fiery debate on the Mets Captain's true Hall credentials versus his "Hall of Fame person" status.

The hosts break down their respective five- and four-man ballots, agreeing on Carlos Beltrán (despite the sign-stealing controversy) and "King" Félix Hernández (dominance over longevity). Sal makes a passionate case for Andruw Jones (ten Gold Gloves) and Andy Pettitte (postseason legacy), while BT argues for Francisco "K-Rod" Rodríguez based purely on his historic peak and questions why all the steroid-era greats like A-Rod and Manny Ramírez shouldn't just be inducted together.
