I've been anxiously awaiting this ballot because it seems like an impossible task to distill about 140 years of baseball (players, managers, executives, umpires, and pioneers from the AL/NL, other pre-integration major leagues, the Negro Leagues, and pre-1920 Black Baseball) to an eight-person ballot.

Building the Ballot: The Baseball Hall of Fame’s Era CommitteesS1E15: Bringing the Legends to Life - A Discussion with Graig KreindlerToday I chat with Graig Kreindler, “The Painter of the National Pastime.” We discussed how he started painting baseball and how that turned into the huge Negro Leagues project (and card set) commissioned by Jay Caldwell for the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues. Then, Graig shared some stories about intersting subjects he’s tackled over the years by constructing a lineup.

We were so excited after our big win against Freiburg, the team played great, but all that was turned upside-down after getting knocked out of the DFB-Pokal. We recap both games, rant a little bit about the Defensive Mid position, and ask the big questions like "Where was Dahoud?!" (After recording, I heard that Dahoud may have missed due to back pain.)Thanks to you, we got connected with a BVB Women's team expert (Adam Darowski) and talk about their season so...
