Jason Smith: “This makes me feel old. Not many things in sports make me feel old, but when I think about seeing someone’s career...when I’m a full blown 30 year old man and somebody’s career starts, and I remember it because I was a full blown adult, then we talk about their Hall of Fame case. It makes you feel old. Like, yeah, I remember everything about this guy’s career.”
Mike Harmon: “Oftentimes for me, it’s when the juniors start finding their way into the game, right? We’re old enough that we watched a lot of Ken Griffey Sr, his final years playing in Cincinnati and New York. Then Junior came along, had his whole career, he’s been retired forever and in the Hall of Fame forever.”
On today’s edition of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Jason and Mike delivered their thoughts on the 2025 baseball Hall of Fame class headlined by Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner! The guys talk about starting to witness the entire careers of some of these inductees, and why you may see more and more fringe guys like Billy Wagner getting in.
