MLB Network Presents Season 6 Full Episode Guide
MLB Network honors six legendary Hall of Famers who passed away in 2020: Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Al Kaline, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, and Joe Morgan. (In a fitting postscript to 2020, a seventh Hall of Famer, Phil Niekro, died the day this episode originally aired.)
The Hall Of Fame career of Ken Griffey Jr. is examined. The son of a big league player and the first overall pick in the 1987 MLB draft, "Junior" brought much needed star power to the Seattle Mariners franchise which had long been struggling in the standings and at the box office. He overcame several setbacks (a suicide attempt at 18, a messy departure from Seattle, a series of debilitating injuries) to receive the highest percentage of Hall Of Fame votes at the time.
The St. Louis Cardinals teams of the 1980s are examined. Whitey Herzog was hired as manager in 1980 and began crafting a team that was built on speed and defense. Cardinals were the only team in the decade to appear in three World Series (winning the 1982 World Series over the Milwaukee Brewers).
