Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Hall of Fame

You think Joe Jackson should be a Hall of Famer?... Yes, I do... He had a pretty good World Series for someone trying to throw it.

The debate remains unresolved as Jackson is still officially banned from the Hall of Fame.

Chris Berman retired from ESPN because he knew the All-Star Game was in Miami and he'd sweat too much

Chris Berman retired from the All-Star game and ESPN last winter... I think maybe Chris Berman was like, oh, fuck. The home run derby is going to be in Miami. I think he was. They don't make a sweatshirt that's dark enough to cover up the stains that Berman would be sweating through.

Berman did retire/step back in 2017, but the sweating reason is a joke.

Meditating is a top-four way to cool down in the summer

My last one is just meditating. Meditate... when I said meditating, I meant cool down like when you get hot in an argument. Like when you ever get in a really big argument. You need to take a deep breath.

This is subjective, but widely considered a 'bad' take within the context of the segment's intent.

Laying on the bathroom floor is the greatest feeling when you have the spins

This is actually more for when you have the spins, but it still is the greatest thing in the world. Just laying down on the bathroom floor... There's actually no better feeling in the world. It's great. When you're hot, when you're drunk, when you have the spins.

Subjective personal preference.

Starting pitchers deserve 100% of the credit for no-hitters, but catchers deserve more recognition

The pitchers deserve most of the credit. Look, it's their ball and it's their game at the end of the day. But I wish the catcher would get a little bit more credit.

Subjective opinion on the distribution of credit in baseball achievements.

Catchers and calling the game are more important than hitting or throwing

Number one is catching and calling a game no matter what. You have to be able to call a game, know the right pitch, know your pitching staff, know when to call and what to call at certain times... throwing would have to be last, and probably hitting and then throwing is last.

This is a professional opinion from an expert, though analytics-heavy fans might argue for hitting value (Piazza model).

Hawk Harrelson is the best announcer in baseball

Every time [Hawk Harrelson] calls me, it's a great feeling to know that the best announcer in the game is calling me.

Strictly a matter of taste in sports broadcasting.
