The Whole Ballgame

We summon sex and strange happenings in Kansas through the power of A.S.L.  (Anton Szandor LaVey).  The Mets bring the pain and clinch the 1986 NL East with a dynamite outing from Scott H...Razor R...Dwight 'Doc' Gooden. Hulk Hogan is a drunk, Linda looks like death, and our jokes hit...a wall. Come help Ralph find his pills, figure out who died, exactly, and get him directions to Peter Luger's, would ya?Join us on PATREON for Ad free shows, bonus episodes, relics and more!www.patreon.com/thewholeballgameEmail us: thewholeballgame@mail.comFollow on Twitter/X : www.x.com/wholeballgame

It's the perfect game to experience if you want a dose of heartbreak.  The last gasps of a proud franchise, about to face a long drought thanks to the vortex event that was the looming 1994 strike.  On June 28, 1994 The Expos hosted The Braves and in one of the more exciting games we've watched on the show, we see the magic that could have been. This one is a real mixed bag, kids - from gap toothed bosses to Head of the Class to our first (un)official ad buy (NSFW) - listen close for that one- we had a good time, and so will you.Watch along with us here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTLfwARMLgJoin us on PATREON:  www.patreon.com/thewholeballgameEmail us: thewholeballgame@mail.comFollow on Twitter/X : www.x.com/wholeballgame

1994 wasn't kind to baseball, but it was particularly cruel to the Montreal Expos.  Today, ahead of a ballgame in June of 1994 between the Braves and Expos, we examine the last gasp of success for the Expos.  Follow along with the articles referenced here: https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/montreal-expos-fans-players-look-back-at-tragic-94-season/https://pressbreak.substack.com/p/what-if-wednesday-the-1994-majorWe've got public masturbation, Tim McCarver Stadium blueprints, Harry explains his theories on time travel, and Godzilla.  All right here on The Whole BallgameJoin us on PATREON:  www.patreon.com/thewholeballgameEmail us: thewholeballgame@mail.comFollow on Twitter/X : www.x.com/wholeballgame

We return to the year that changed society. 1994.  June 22, 1994 to be exact.  Ahead of a ballgame where the Mariners and Ken Griffey Jr head to Anaheim to take on a newly-Disney acquired Angels club, we examine the career of perhaps the best to ever play the game: George Kenneth Griffey Jr. Our kisser this week is no slouch either, as Craig Lindsay Lefferts gets his due as we examine the life of a career-long reliever with a chip on his shoulder, JACK. Junior tests the limits of his supportive cup, doesn't do well in traffic, loves the Haunted Mansion, and certainly never ever used PED's. Meanwhile, Craig loses his smile, and eventually ends up teaching future superstars their craft.Rick Reuschel, Charlie Hough, and Harry Caray help us launch our Patreon, which you can find a link to below, Bo Jackson comes to brunch, and we find out that Tony Gwynn is Snagglepuss.  Heavens to Murgatroid, it's all this week on The Whole Ballgame.Join us on PATREON:  www.patreon.com/thewholeballgameEmail us: thewholeballgame@mail.comFollow on Twitter/X : www.x.com/wholeballgame

We get what we deserve for believing. Drained nuts, drained bodies, drained brains. It's the whole ballgame.

The whole ballgame is sabotaged most likely by the Von Erich family. The modern condition strikes but we will strike back.

Baseball was at the doorstep of a long, winding season that would eventually spell the downfall of our beloved national pastime.  But April 4, 1994 was full of hope, cat daddies, and kitty cats.Opposing starting pitchers on Opening Day - Dennis Martinez, our kisser - for the Tribe, and The Big Unit, Randy Johnson get the microscope today and the treasures that await you are many and varied. Mutual Masturbation, Fried Seagull, Tyrell, Orange Sherbert, Oh, and F*CK YOU ROB MANFRED.

We here at The Whole Ballgame pride ourselves on being intellectually honest.  This is a bad one. The ballgame is bad, the players are boring, the announcers are just okay, and if we are being honest- the best part is Joe West and Angel Hernandez. The Asshole UmpiresBlake and Gabe tackle high magnetic resonance in the atmosphere, tech issues, we explore Shin Soo Choo's alcoholism, Shelly Winters' tits, The 2010 box office, and we are served a stark reminder of how EVERYTHING used to be better. Strap in, its a bumpy one, but you must embrace the pain.

After a brief hiatus, and some travel in support of the show and in the name of camaraderie, Blake and Gabe are back to dissect a 1987 battle between NL Rivals The Chicago Cubs and The St. Louis Cardinals.  As we take the field, temperatures are near 105 degrees, we have concentrates and liquids flowing, and we are about to learn the meaning of "Whitey Ball". Vin is on the call as we enjoy our first NBC game of the week.  Harry pays a visit, we learn of Avian Bird Men, Were-Walruses, and weak chins.  We dive into an overflowing mailbag, discuss our weekend in Philadelphia, our sojourn to the Bronx, and just like every other week, discover why baseball used to be better.

1994, Opening Day, and no collective bargaining agreement in sight. In an auspicious start to the season, we visit Wrigley for the first time on TWBG, and watch Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes, our kisser this week, blast 3 homers in 3 at bats off the legendary Doc Gooden. Perhaps more importantly, we get in our feelings about the one and only Harry Caray. Harry's dalliances with other broadcaster's wives, hot dogs, beer, Paul Harvey, AI, beer, time travel, hot dogs, Jelly Beans, older women, and as always, Harry calls the shots.

As we descend on Fulton County Stadium following our holiday hiatus, just ahead of the 1986 All Star Game, we find ourselves well positioned to delve into America's favorite broadcasting mogul Ted Turner and his ownership of the Atlanta Braves. Add that our kisser this week belongs to the portly dinger machine Bob Horner and we got a stew going.  In the ballgame we watch Bob go 4/5 with 4 homeruns, only the 11th player to ever do it at the time. We get mid-80's commercials, trashtits, Hondo's first love, Arizona Coeds, Mid 90's internet porn, attempted juvenile sexual assault, 9/11 high school betrayals, and we dabble in the Satanic texts, all on this episode of The Whole BallgameWatch along with us here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT23uCtsj_oFollow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thewholeballgameTwitter: www.x.com/wholeballgameHead to the website: www.thewholeballgame.comEmail us: thewholeballgame@mail.com
