Listen "Episode 335 - Some Very Impressive Busts"
Episode Synopsis
While the MLB draft has been moved to July, it's the 58th anniversary of Steve Chilcott being taken first overall by the Mets in 1966, over Reggie Jackson. This was, of course, one of the great draft blunders in history, as Chilcott wouuld never make the majors and Reggie...did. In honor of this very Metsian mistake, Mike and Bill look back at other first overall picks who were complete busts for their clubs. Plus, happy birthday to Bryan Harvey and Merv Rettenmund!
