On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down a playoff race where the stakes couldn’t be more different depending on the team. The Yankees—and Aaron Boone—need something great to happen down the stretch, while the Diamondbacks have proven to be much better than expected. The Rays could find themselves with a high playoff seed only to be vulnerable to an early exit, while the boys believe the Brewers and Phillies need to capitalize because their best chance to win a World Series may be RIGHT NOW.September call-ups are underway, but without many can’t-miss names arriving in the majors, the boys turn back the clock and look at some of the top prospects from the last decade who were supposed to become stars but never lived up to the hype. From Sixto Sánchez to Mickey Moniak and Ke’Bryan Hayes, they reveal the prospects they were once all-in on—and eventually had to give up on.Afterwards, the boys continue their Forgotten Series with their second featured player of the year: Ron LeFlore. Author Adam Henig joins the show to discuss his new biography, Outcast: The Ron LeFlore Story, and dive into one of baseball’s most improbable and complicated careers. From LeFlore’s incredible journey to professional baseball against seemingly impossible odds to how everything eventually crumbled, the boys explore the fascinating story of one of the game’s most polarizing players of the 1970s and ’80s.They round out the show with a playoff edition of Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.
