On today's episode, we discuss how so-called “Conspiracy Friday” quickly turns into a lively roundtable about outrageous sports figures, political rumors, and media manipulation. The hosts open with light banter over coffee, Mozart, and grandcats before pivoting into a long, humorous rundown of notoriously “colorful” athletes like Antonio Brown, Mike Tyson, Dennis Rodman, John McEnroe, Albert Belle, Billy Martin, Barry Bonds, and others whose antics blur the line between entertainment and self-destruction. Their conversation widens into a critique of how leagues handle performance-enhancing drugs, domestic violence allegations, and fan behavior, while also comparing men's and women's sports and how perception of “controversy” differs by gender. From there, they zigzag into conspiratorial territory on election integrity, mail-in voting, voting machines, and the difficulty of trusting video evidence in an era of AI-generated clips, weaving in personal anecdotes and legal perspectives. They also touch on crypto volatility, Bitcoin's future, and the financialization of professional sports, noting how even losing teams can be lucrative investments. Throughout, the hosts mix sharp skepticism with self-deprecating humor, teasing each other about AI, “bananas and rice” internet memes, and being part of secret cabals like the Illuminati, while repeatedly inviting listeners to send in conspiracies and join them for coffee at a local PJ's.

He was a fantastic hitter. Over a 162 game average in his 12 year career, he averaged a 4.2 WAR, 40 Home Runs, and 130 RBI. He scored 974 Runs for an average of 103 over 162 Games. The only thing more potent than his bat, was his pissed-off, surly disposition, which included throwing baseballs purposefully at hecklers in the stands, running down trick-or-treaters in his SUV who vandalized his home, as well as his strong dislike for the media, and the the abrasive bullying tactics he employed against them. As talented as he was, Albert Belle could never shake his anger or his drive for perfection. And the indignity of never being able to find that perfection made Belle's blood boil. His career ended prematurely as one of the games best sluggers, with more stats to give, left on the diamond, Because of his petulant behavior, he has never been seriously considered for induction into the Hall Of Fame. This is his story. #AlbertBelle #CarrieBelle #TerryBelle #SkipBertman #LSUTigers #ClevelandIndians #ChicagoWhiteSox #BaltimoreOrioles #OmarVizquel #JasonGrimsley #HuntingtonHighSchool #CapeCodLeague #FernandoVina

Bo Jackson - On July 15, 1951, the New York Yankees demote struggling rookie Mickey Mantle to their Kansas City farm team in the American Association. Mantle will return to the Yankees in August and finish his first major league season with 13 home runs and 65 RBIs.On July 15, 1967, St. Louis Cardinals ace Bob Gibson suffers a broken leg when he is struck by a line drive hit by another future Hall of Famer, Roberto Clemente. Incredibly, Gibson pitches to two more batters before leaving the game. Gibson was sidelined until Labor day. He would come back and would win 3 games in the World Series against the Red Sox.On July 15, 1973, Before 41,411 in Detroit, California Angels ace Nolan Ryan hurls his second no-hitter of the season in taming the Detroit Tigers, 6 - 0. Ryan fans 17 batters, the most ever in a 9-inning no-hitter, including eight straight, but only one over the last two innings. Nolan's arm stiffens while watching his team rally for five runs in the top of the 8th. With two outs in the 9th, Norm Cash, who had struck out his three other times at bat, comes to bat wielding a piano leg. Umpire Ron Luciano points out the illegality and Cash then pops out using a regulation bat. Ryan's eight strikeouts in a row ties the American League record he set last year. On July 15, 1990, Bo Jackson of the Kansas City Royals hits home runs in three consecutive at-bats before separating his shoulder trying to make a diving catch against Deion Sanders of the New York Yankees. Jackson's power surge helps the Royals to a 10-7 victory, but the two-sport star will miss the next six weeks.On July 15, 1994 - In the first inning at Comiskey Park, Chicago White Sox manager Gene Lamont accuses Cleveland Indians slugger Albert Belle of using a corked bat, and umpire Dave Phillips confiscates the bat and stores it in the umps' dressing room. In a Mission Impossible caper revealed in 1999, the Indians' Jason Grimsley crawls 100 feet along a ceiling, drops down into the dressing room, and exchanges Belle's bat for one of Paul Sorrento's. After the 3 - 2 Indians win, the switch is discovered to the consternation of the umps and the White Sox. The Indians subsequently turn over one of Belle's bats and Belle is given a 10-day suspension, later reduced to seven games.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn SaysTrivia is provided by -Horseshide TriviaThis Day In Baseball is Sponsored by - www.vintagebaseballreflections.com - Join the membership today and listen to 50 years of baseball history told to you by the folks who were there!

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 283 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the diamond discussing Albert Belle. Keeping his temper and attitude under control was a constant battle for Albert Belle during his baseball career. The battles included trying to fight an unruly and bigoted fan in the SEC Tournament in college, issues regarding hustle with numerous MLB managers, outright berating media members and even taking a bat to the thermostat and Kenny Lodton's boombox with Cleveland. Nevertheless, there were few if any more feared hitters in the American League during the 1990s than Belle. His 1995 campaign included an AL Pennant and the first 50 home run and 50 double season in big league history. Belle made five All Star teams, won five silver sluggers and led the AL in RBIs three times during his prime. Sadly, a hip condition erased what could have been a potential Hall of Fame career after the 2000 regular season. Listen while we discussing the ultimate highs and ultimate lows of one of MLB's angriest yet most dangerous power hitters of his era. Connect with us on Instagram!

Michael Rubin is back to promote Fanatics Fest, which is this weekend. He was just in Paris for the Olympics and tells us about being in the crowd for Team USA's comeback against Serbia. Rubin is excited for Fanatics Fest to be the first sports festival of its kind. He expects it to be one heck of a party. Minko returns for an update and begins with Craig calling Juan Soto “Luis Sojo”, who last played for the Yankees 23 years ago. Craig told a story about playing chess with Albert Belle in Cleveland. Boomer, Jerry and Eddie don't remember hearing that story before. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry give credit to Suzyn Waldman for the great job she did working with Craig. There was a lot of buzz around Craig calling the games. The Yankees have a Clay Holmes problem and an even larger bullpen problem.
Hour 1 Boomer is back from vacation and working with Jerry as we wait for Gio to return tomorrow. Boomer was golfing in Wisconsin. He watched a lot of Yankees and Mets baseball and did not like one national broadcast he stumbled upon. The Mets had an awful weekend to finish off a bad road trip. The offense has gone cold and Pete Alonso is losing money every day. Jerry has a clip to set the stage for a full breakdown of Craig Carton calling the Yankees series this weekend. WFAN legend John Minko has our updates for the day and is asked about the time he wore a speedo to work after losing a bet. Minko reviews Craig's performance calling the Yankees this weekend and has a highlight of Giancarlo Stanton's 3-run homer. Craig joked about Boomer's hope for a foul ball coming in the booth when one headed that way. Boomer is not happy with Sal Licata. The Mets are 7-9 and have fallen from the top Wild Card to the outside looking in since Sal tweeted that the NL Wild Card race was over. Minko was moved by the Olympics. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry says it's crazy the big vacation week is over and that Gio got lucky going to Italy last week rather than Fire Island. Does Tommy DeVito have a future with the Giants? Hour 2 Michael Rubin is back to promote Fanatics Fest, which is this weekend. He was just in Paris for the Olympics and tells us about being in the crowd for Team USA's comeback against Serbia. Rubin is excited for Fanatics Fest to be the first sports festival of its kind. He expects it to be one heck of a party. Minko returns for an update and begins with Craig calling Juan Soto “Luis Sojo”, who last played for the Yankees 23 years ago.

In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry give credit to Suzyn Waldman for the great job she did working with Craig. There was a lot of buzz around Craig calling the games. The Yankees have a Clay Holmes problem and an even larger bullpen problem. Hour 3 Every NFL team now has a preseason game and Boomer emphasizes why he thinks it's important for every player to get the feel of a game before the regular season starts. Daniel Jones will play Saturday. Jerry thinks the Giants will be sneaky good and alive in the playoff race. Minko returns for an update but first, Boomer has an idea for a new podcast he wants Jerry to host. Minko tells us about retirement and his expectations for St. John's. Minko says Rick Pitino called every member of the selection committee to find out why St. John's was left out and received all different answers. Suzyn thinks Craig has some interesting ideas after hearing Craig explain his dislike of one baseball rule. The Mets looked like a team that didn't belong this weekend in Seattle. Could we see Boomer playing flag football at the 2028 Summer Games? In the final segment of the hour, Boomer and Jerry react to a story of people using technology to avoid paying tolls. Hour 4 The Mets had a brutal weekend in Seattle and need to bounce back with a 5-1 stretch to start this homestand. The Mets missed an opportunity to gain ground on the Phillies. Sean McVay thought the NFL's new kickoff was goofy. Boomer thinks it will take some time to get used to. Minko is back for his final update of the day and begins by giving Boomer what he asked for: the top 5 NHL free agent moves of the summer. Minko has some highlights of Craig calling the Yankees games including Craig pulling a Peter Schwartz and saying “teq-ee-a” instead of tequila. The United States had a very good 2024 Summer Olympics. The Moment of The Day involves a Suzyn Waldman clip we used to play quite often. Minko tells us about his upcoming schedule. In the final segment of the show, Boomer tells Jerry about the golf course he played at and the guys discuss how well USA athletes represented our country at the Olympics. Jayson Tatum will be peppered with questions about his Olympic experience.
Hour 3- The Hall of fame becomes a hot topic as guys like Pete Rose, Albert Belle are missing when mediocre names are getting in. Joe is not thrilled.

Part 2 of my conversation with Paul Hoynes picks up with a wild story about Albert Belle and a corked bat. “Hoynsie” shares tales from the 1990s when a new ballpark, powerful lineup, and sterling run of success caused baseball fever to erupt in Cleveland. And you can hear why one of his columns in 2016 sent him into Lake Erie before another World Series run ended in a legendary Game 7. If you missed it, make sure to go back and listen to our part 1 episode with Hoynes, who has been covering Major League Baseball in Cleveland for more than four decades: https://evergreenpodcasts.com/press-box-access/paul-hoynes-part-1-im-sweating-bullets-shaking-trying-to-calm-myself-down#episodeContent Hoynes has been a Guardians/Indians beat writer since 1983 for The News-Herald (1983-84), The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com (1985 to present).

This is the first of a 2-part conversation with Paul Hoynes, who has covered Major League Baseball in Cleveland since 1983. We hit some of the “Hoynsie” greatest hits, including the Hawk Call and the tale of two belts. He tells us about working in hometown, competing (and laughing) on the beat with friends, and riding the rush of deadline. Hoynsie puts us in cavernous Municipal Stadium when the stands were mostly empty and the team was awful in the 1980s. Hear about advice he took from Joe Carter, scuffling with Mel Hall, and sailing the choppy waters around Albert Belle. We even work in a football story: Red Right 88. Sorry, Browns fans. Part 2 comes out April 24 and that episode will pick up when the Indians, now known as the Guardians, began their glorious run in the 1990s.

Albert Belle could hit a baseball. He could also hit a range of other objects when he got frustrated, from sinks to buffet tables. Joining the hapless Cleveland Indians, he was a big part of turning them around, but he also lost it at fans, teammates, and trick-or-treaters. Belle's personality of being a jerk, even affected his chances of entering the Hall of Fame, because most journalists who vote for it, just didn't like him.

People think they know what they saw in 1993 between Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura, just like they think they know what they saw in the 1996 collision between Albert Belle and Fernando Vina. But they don't, because behind the scenes, the code was dictating the behaviors and actions of players. In this episode, I break down some of the most important and interesting elements of the code, elements that the baseball world works hard to keep secret.
In the second hour, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes were joined by former Bears defensive end Alex Brown, who explained why he's all in on Chicago selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Chicago holds the No. 1 and No. 9 overall picks and could look to trade current quarterback Justin Fields. Holmes then explained why he doesn't want the Bulls to trade veteran guard Alex Caruso, but he also believes Chicago should make a deal to send him to another team ahead of the NBA trade deadline next Thursday. Later, during the High Noon segment, Bernstein and Holmes listened to former White Sox slugger Albert Belle recount the time he ran into Brewers second baseman Fernando Viña on the basepath.
Andy and Jeff talk about what Albert Belle meant to the City of Cleveland and how he revived baseball in the 90s.

He takes into the clubhouse and behind the scenes during his 33 seasons of covering Major League Baseball in Cleveland for the Akron Beacon Journal. The Hall of Fame writer shares anecdotes from when the then-Indians were miserable in the 1980s and from when they morphed into memorable mashers in the '90s. Hear about the time Albert Belle raced Ocker in their rental cars, about Manny Ramirez asking him for a $60,000 loan, and about what pitch call Jose Mesa shook off in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. Sheldon also has some great tales from his 10 years of covering the NBA as a Cavaliers beat reporter in the 1970s. His story about a day spent with infamous Cavs owner Ted Stepien is one of the best we've heard in nearly 70 episodes. Ocker was honored with the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for meritorious contributions to baseball writing. He was presented with that award in July 2018 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's induction in Cooperstown, N.Y. Besides his stellar reporting, Ocker was known for rarely taking a day off during a season when he covered baseball from 1981 until his retirement after the 2013 season. Sheldon was named the Ohio Sports Writer of the Year in 1997 and 2000 by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. He served as the president of the Baseball Writers' Assocation of America in 1985 and as chair of the Cleveland chapter 11 times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bo Jackson - On July 15, 1951, the New York Yankees demote struggling rookie Mickey Mantle to their Kansas City farm team in the American Association. Mantle will return to the Yankees in August and finish his first major league season with 13 home runs and 65 RBIs.On July 15, 1967, St. Louis Cardinals ace Bob Gibson suffers a broken leg when he is struck by a line drive hit by another future Hall of Famer, Roberto Clemente. Incredibly, Gibson pitches to two more batters before leaving the game. Gibson was sidelined until Labor day. He would come back and would win 3 games in the World Series against the Red Sox.On July 15, 1973, Before 41,411 in Detroit, California Angels ace Nolan Ryan hurls his second no-hitter of the season in taming the Detroit Tigers, 6 - 0. Ryan fans 17 batters, the most ever in a 9-inning no-hitter, including eight straight, but only one over the last two innings. Nolan's arm stiffens while watching his team rally for five runs in the top of the 8th. With two outs in the 9th, Norm Cash, who had struck out his three other times at bat, comes to bat wielding a piano leg. Umpire Ron Luciano points out the illegality and Cash then pops out using a regulation bat. Ryan's eight strikeouts in a row ties the American League record he set last year. On July 15, 1990, Bo Jackson of the Kansas City Royals hits home runs in three consecutive at-bats before separating his shoulder trying to make a diving catch against Deion Sanders of the New York Yankees. Jackson's power surge helps the Royals to a 10-7 victory, but the two-sport star will miss the next six weeks.On July 15, 1994 - In the first inning at Comiskey Park, Chicago White Sox manager Gene Lamont accuses Cleveland Indians slugger Albert Belle of using a corked bat, and umpire Dave Phillips confiscates the bat and stores it in the umps' dressing room. In a Mission Impossible caper revealed in 1999, the Indians' Jason Grimsley crawls 100 feet along a ceiling, drops down into the dressing room, and exchanges Belle's bat for one of Paul Sorrento's. After the 3 - 2 Indians win, the switch is discovered to the consternation of the umps and the White Sox. The Indians subsequently turn over one of Belle's bats and Belle is given a 10-day suspension, later reduced to seven games.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn SaysTrivia is provided by -Horseshide TriviaThis Day In Baseball is Sponsored by - www.vintagebaseballreflections.com - Join the membership today and listen to 50 years of baseball history told to you by the folks who were there!
