Summary

Kevin solo today opened with a quick thought on the passing of Willie Mays before getting to the first of what should be many "NFL Top 100 Players" lists. This list is short on Commanders although a trade for Brandon Aiyuk would give them a top 10 wide receiver. Kevin also talked about ESPN's Seth Walder's NFL off-season grades, the Nats, some news on the RFK site bill in the senate, Caitlin Clark, and the "QB salary cap" idea.

0:00.0	You don't want it. You don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway. The Kevin Sheehan Show. Here's Kevin.
0:10.8	The show's presenting sponsor, as always, is Wind Donation. If you've been thinking about new windows, especially during this heat wave that we are enduring right now in the DMV. Give Wind Donation a shot.
0:24.3	Call them at 86690 Nation or head to Windonation.com. Mention my name and they'll give you a free,
0:31.2	no obligation, no risk in-home estimate. Just me solo today. No guests on the show today. Tommy will be back with me
0:40.2	tomorrow. And I'll save most of the Willie Mays conversation for Tom tomorrow. Tom watched his
0:47.5	career. He didn't cover Willie Mays. He's not that old. But I don't remember Willie Mays as a
0:53.7	player. I did read a lot this morning and watch
0:57.5	a lot this morning on Willie Mays because the thing that I did know is that Willie Mays is
1:04.2	considered to be one of the two or three greatest players that ever lived. Most of the list that you pull up, you know, top 50, top 100 baseball players of all time,
1:16.8	has Mays either one, two, or three, typically two behind Babe Ruth.
1:23.9	I did learn something, though, this morning, and maybe the majority of you probably know this already, especially if you're of a certain age.
1:33.7	But I did not know this.
1:35.5	And if I did know this, I just didn't remember it.
1:38.2	But the thing that I learned in reading and watching Willie May's stuff this morning, is that he missed essentially two years.
1:48.4	He missed the majority of 1952, all of 1953, for the Korean War. He came back in 1954. He hit 41 home runs in his first season back.
2:03.5	He hit 51 home runs in 1955.
2:07.3	He is sixth all-time on the home run list with 660 career home runs.
2:16.0	If he doesn't miss the majority of those two seasons,
2:20.6	I think he played 34 games in 1952, missed the entire 1953 season as he was in the service.
2:30.0	If he doesn't miss those two years, he would have been the one to pass Babe Ruth's all-time 714 home run mark, not Hank Aaron.
2:42.6	Aaron did it in April of 1974, 50 years ago this past April.
2:48.2	Mays would have done it a few years earlier. He would have done it in 71,
