Bring It To Jerome

Jeff Bagwell, who Jerome says is the Astros’ all-time best player, took time out from prepping for his Hall of Fame speech to Bring It To Jerome. Bagwell doesn’t do a lot of media interviews – “I don’t like talking about myself,” he said – so this was a special episode, during which, Bagwell talked about a host of subjects, including his playoff struggles, his disdain for sabermetrics, his upcoming Hall of Fame speech, and this year’s Astros’ chances are of winning the World Series. “I haven’t watched this much baseball my entire life,” Bagwell said. “I’ve never seen anything like it. They keep coming. … It really is a pleasure to watch.” Bagwell laughingly said that his Hall of Fame speech is likely to come in at the minimum of eight minutes, but in a rare treat he happily went three times as long in this episode of “Bring It To Jerome.”
