Journalist and author David King joins us in part 1 to talk about Ross Youngs, who was born in Shiner, Texas, in 1897, and later played 10 seasons for John McGraw's New York Giants. In that time he was a key player on four National League pennant and two World Series title teams. A career .322 hitter, Youngs fell ill during the 1926 season and later died at age 30 from kidney disease. The Veterans' Committee elected Youngs to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
King is author of Ross Youngs: In Search of a San Antonio Baseball Legend (History Press 2013).
In part two, Craig and Rex talks about some musical artists that are not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but should be (or so they think). They are:

Iron Maiden (listen to "Phantom of the Opera")
The B-52s (listen to "Rock Lobster")
Anthrax (listen to "Bring the Noise")
Soundgarden (listen to "Fell On Black Days")
Motörhead (listen to "Ace of Spades")
Sonic Youth (listen to "Teen Age Riot")
