The HOVG Podcast: Jeff Katz

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen welcome Cooperstown mayor Jeff Katz back to the podcast.

Jeff joins the boys to talk about how Hall of Fame Induction weekend affects the town of Cooperstown, re-caps the 2016 inductions of Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza and looks ahead to the Class of 2017. Also, Jeff purposely avoids getting financial advice from Lenny Dykstra.
