Episode 63: Dan Quisenberry with Joe Posnanski

Pod of Fame

Jim is joined by Joe Posnanski, Senior Baseball Writer at The Athletic, to breakdown down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB reliever Dan Quisenberry. First, Jim and Joe discuss some of Quisenberry's biggest moments, including his Game 6 win in the 1985 World Series (9:26). Next, they compare Bruce Sutter and Quisenberry's careers, discuss how Quisenberry's stretch from 1980-1985 might be the best string of years ever put together by a reliever, and talk about just how much his low career save total hurts his hall of fame candidacy (17:25). Finally, they discuss that despite not being "sexy" in terms of his style of play, Quisenberry was a unicorn on the baseball diamond (27:00), before both stating whether or not they believe Quisenberry will end up with a plaque in Cooperstown (29:32).
