Description
Jim is joined by baseball Twitter personality Not Gaetti to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB first baseman John Olerud. First, NotGaetti and Jim cover Olerud's picturesque swing and remarkable glovework at first base (8:07). Next, they talk about his 1993 MVP-caliber season in Toronto, the ultra exclusive 200 Hit/100 Walk Club, and why Scott Rolen reminds us both of Olerud (20:50). Finally, they review how Olerud compares to the top first baseman of the 1990s/early 2000s (43:58), before making a final call on whether or not Olerud deserves to be enshrined into Cooperstown (58:00).
