This past Sunday, two of the greatest players of the past 30 years entered baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The first to be inducted was Mike Piazza, the greatest slugger for the catching position in baseball history. He retired with 427 home runs, the most ever by a catcher, including a home run right after 9/11 for the New York Mets that some call the biggest memory of his career. The other member inducted was Ken Griffey Jr., who at one point was the best player in baseball. He could do everything in the 90's – hit looonnngg home runs, rob home runs, and hit and run in clutch situations. When he was voted in, he received the highest vote total in history at 99.7% of the ballot – only three people did not vote for him.
In this new episode of the Mendoza Line, Evan Boyd of WSUM and Brendan Dzwierzynski have a lot to talk about.
