Summary
Our prayers have been answered - Mariano Rivera is the first unanimous Hall Of Famer in baseball history. Plus, Mike Mussina is in as well! We reminisce about both players and their careers. Also, The Sonny Gray project is officially (and thankfully) over. We have Josh Stowers, the man he was basically traded for, on the show to talk about becoming a Yankee and already being a hero. Adam Ottavino is also a Yankee, giving us a monster pen. Hubbs tells a story about how Ottavino reinvented himself after a terrible 2017 season. Al Leiter is leaving the YES broadcast booth and the guys are split on how they feel. Manny Machado and Bryce Harper remain free agents, giving the guys some false hope!

| 0:09.0 | Everyone's happy. I expected this podcast. I was taking the bus home and when I got the news I |
| 0:13.4 | blogged on the bus I fully expected to just be so pissed off and like it would have |
| 0:17.9 | been a stupid pissed off because he gets in and whatever but he deserves to be |
| 0:20.8 | unanimous there's no reason to not vote him in and now we're happy we don't have to be unanimous. There's no reason to not vote him in. |

| 0:24.3 | We don't have to be mad. |
| 0:25.0 | This is a great, this is a great day. |
| 0:27.0 | I'll be honest, part of me kind of wishes we had that outreach. |
| 0:30.2 | Like we can just find one like 75 year old sports writer from like Kansas City to spend our next few months like |
| 0:37.3 | hating with a burning passion but yeah he deserved to be in unanimously it I mean he doesn't deserve to be the first person |
| 0:44.6 | of me out of because it should have been happening forever. I mean it's crazy but |
| 0:48.8 | it is a sign that things should change and maybe Gina next year now also gets their |
| 0:53.1 | unanimous. I think one guy getting in unanimous should set the stage for |
| 0:57.6 | everyone else getting in unanimous. I mean he's the greatest closer ever. You can't |
| 1:01.4 | tell the story of baseball without Mariano Rivera and you know you want to say |
| 1:05.5 | one anything whatever but playoff numbers speak for themselves and he is it is as good he is the best at what he did ever and that is without a downhaul of fame worthy. |
| 1:16.5 | Yeah, we didn't preface this. You are sick and under the weather and battling through that so I'm giving you |
| 1:20.7 | credit for doing that right now. So, so my voice sounds not great. |
