ALWAYS a pleasure to join @jmiloch.bsky.social on Pod of Fame. This time I got to share the career and legacy of one of my favorite overlooked candidates. Oscar ”Heavy” Johnson was one of the greatest bats in the sport’s history… but his Hall of Fame case is much more complicated than that.

Really have to hope then it is Hank Greenberg and the 1945 WS Tigers.

Jim Miloch @jmiloch.bsky.social · 26d

What could this be?

Bad Boys Pistons?
2004 Pistons?
0-16 Lions?
Barry Sanders?
1984 Detroit Tigers?

Luke Epplin @lukeepplin.bsky.social · 26d

When I was working on "Our Team," I had in the back of my mind that I wanted to turn to basketball. When I was finishing up "Moses and the Doctor," one word kept coming to mind: Detroit. That's all I had. And now I'm diving into a project that's set in that exact city. Odd how that works.

This one was a lot of fun. I have such a tough time separating Buddy Bell and Graig Nettles (and even Sal Bando and Darrell Evans and…). After doing a Pod of Fame on Buddy Bell and listening to this one on Graig Nettles I am…

…no better at differentiating their Hall of Fame cases. 😅

My wife Kate wrote an *amazing* book called “This Happened To Me” for Simon and Schuster/Gallery that’s officially out today. She’s doing a signing & talk at the Harvard Bookstore Thursday at 7 p.m. If you’re in the neighborhood, love for you guys to stop by.
