Starkville | Joe Buck Doesn’t Think He’s a Hall of Famer

There’s one thing sports fans can all agree on: Phillies fans love to boo. This week, Jayson and Doug look back at All-Star Week, share stories from the wrong side of a hostile Philly crowd, and discuss why the city’s fans have earned their reputation. Then, legendary broadcaster Joe Buck joins the show to talk about being honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, along with a few behind-the-scenes details from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. To close things out, Jayson and Doug dive into another edition of Strange But True in Sacramento.
