## Resource

Jim is joined by sports podcaster Alex Chester to break down the HOF candidacy of former Minnesota Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek. First, Alex and Jim debate whether Hrbek was a good or great defensive 1st baseman, as he never won a gold glove, yet was known for his glove (10:44). Next, they discuss several of his memorable World Series moments, compare Hrbek to his teammate Kirby Puckett, and decide where Hrbek ranks among the best 1st basemen of the 1980s (13:22). Finally, Alex and Jim try to determine whether Hrbek is the best player in MLB history to make one or fewer all-star teams (39:00), before making a final call on whether or not they believe Hrbek deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (46:55).
