#pirates and #whitesox Smoky Burgess had a pretty good career with a career OPS+ of 116. But he's third all-time in pinch hits and was a beloved player at the end of his career. We talk about the changes in pinch hitting and why all-time pinch hitting records are likely safe!

We don't know about you, but we forget things that happened during a baseball season even when it was LAST season! Sure the #dodgers beat #yankees in the #worldseries but besides Shohei and Aaron Judge, and Skubal, Sale and Skenes, there still were a lot of interesting and even amazing things that happened.

We discuss the four no-hitters, the pitching triple crowns, and sad things like the #whitesox season.
Remember how many #MLB managers got fired during the season. We do! This was a way more fun exercise for us than we first thought and we hope you agree! And since it's our first podcast drop for 2025 - Happy New Year!
