11-29-2022 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this show by criticizing Houston Astros Owner Jim Crane for his failure to relinquish handling of day to day baseball operations of the team. John describes several examples of not only owners meddling in sports front offices and influencing decisions, but making them and makes an argument that there is no example of an owner being successful in that role. John’s belief is that the Astros are headed down the wrong path if they do not hire a new team President or General Manager with the autonomy that was given to Jeff Luthnow. Listen to John’s takes on Jerry Jones and George Steinbrenner as well as Ted Turner and Jim Irsay. John talks about how illogical it is for there to be serious discussion about the job status of Ohio State Head Football Coach Ryan Day (45-5). John then talks about the hiring of new Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule and why he could have easily gotten a ten (10) year contact. Finally, John continues his assault on the Baseball Hall of Fame, the BBWAA, Bud Selig, and Jane Forbes Clark but discussing the current state of the ballot, fluff, and why many undeserving players will be getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame soon.
