Baseball Hall of Fame Lives – Details, episodes & analysis

Every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame gets a bronze plaque in Cooperstown. This show tells the rest of the story. Baseball Hall of Fame Lives is a narrative biography podcast. Each episode covers one Hall of Famer, start to finish: where they came from, how they made it, what it cost them, and what happened after the cheering stopped. It isn't an interview show, and it doesn't debate who deserves a plaque. It tells a life. You'll hear the names you know, like Roberto Clemente, Harmon Killebrew and Andruw Jones. You'll also hear the ones you don't: Negro Leagues pioneers, nineteenth-century stars, executives, umpires and managers, many of whose stories almost nobody tells anymore. Those are often the best episodes. Each episode is researched from the historical record, and when a famous story turns out to be wrong, the episode says so. Baseball history, one Hall of Famer at a time. Baseball Hall of Fame Lives is an independent production and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
