1-19-2019 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the program by paying his respect to former Yankees and Angels pitcher Eli Grba, the one time PBS guest who passed away this week at the age of 84. John then brings up what he feels is an overemphasis of two way MLB players, basically a glorification of a position player who will pitch regularly in mop up situations. We are likely to not even see a Shohei Ohtani like scenario again in the sport. Have fans and the media today forgot about Wilt Chamberlain? James Harden scoring 40 points a game is nice, but please stop making like it has never happened before. Speaking of not getting attention that is deserved, the NHL should make January 18th Willie O'Ree day and make every team pay homage to the first black player in the history of the National Hockey League. All that plus a preview of the NFL Conference Championship games.
