This week we discuss the relationship between sports owners and fans of their temas. We know that those owners have control of their teams, but just how much should they listen to their fandom?

The Cox was banned for gambling, but how good an owner was he and how did his successors the Carpenters do after?
Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Joe Kelley. He had a great stretch for a number of years, but was this enough for us to give him our blessing? For our parting shots we talk about Ken Boyer's HOF candidacy and the malaise of the MLB awards season.

Do we like that its there or do we have some beef with this nearly 80 year old part of the election process?
