Winter Is Coming

Tim and Jeff Kurkjian recap their Thanksgiving trip to Florida, including the results of their big golf match (though one of them wasn’t eager to offer many details). Tim also shares a bold move he made at the airport.

With the Winter Meetings beginning this weekend, Tim reflects on some of his favorite stories from his early days as a young writer. He’ll be covering the events for ESPN from Bristol, so be sure to tune in for updates.

The newly released Hall of Fame ballot features two major names — Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens — on the Contemporary Era ballot. Tim and Jeff break down all eight candidates, including one Jeff is especially passionate about.

In “On This Date in Baseball and General History,” Jeff takes the lead, highlighting Hall of Famers replacing one another, the Dodgers’ back-to-back-to-back Rookie of the Year streak, and a notable SportsCenter milestone.

Finally, they close with “Three Cards in the Bathroom,” where Tim sifts through a stack of cards he found in the baseball-themed guest bathroom, sparking even more stories from the Hall of Fame writer.
