Summary

Jeff Passan joins Buster to discuss their personal recovery time following the postseason, Buster Posey’s retirement and if he’s a Hall of Famer, the dearth of catchers in the Hall, Jeff’s rainbow of a bruise he received after catching for his son, the time someone confused Buster with Posey, and the progress — or lack thereof — of labor talks between the union and the league. Later, Todd Radom closes the podcast with his connection to late-commissioner Bart Giamatti and the final quiz of the season. Finally, an annual tradition to end the daily podcast for the 2021 season: A reading of “The Green Fields of the Mind” by Giamatti. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
