In 1965, the world's first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public.  The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died.  It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently.  Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world. Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The current football student-athletes of the NESCAC are probably too young to envision a crowd of fans in the Astrodome chanting "Let them play!" about the Bad News Bears. They are too young to remember the Astrodome. And they are nothing like the Bad News Bears, but still, the powers-that-be in the New England Small College Athletic Conference have not allowed their conference teams to participate in the Division III football playoffs. Ever. Because the Ivy League does it that way, right? Well, that's changing, starting this year, and a group of NESCAC student-athletes are organizing on their campuses to make sure that they don't get left behind, or pushed off another year. That's the NESCAC Football Players Association (NESCACFBPA), a group representing football student-athletes at all 10 member schools, and we talk with a number of them on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. The presidents of the NESCAC need to act now, not wait and make these student-athletes wait for another year when they have waited for generation after generation already. Hear from Vaughn Seelicke of Tufts, Jack Lucido of Wesleyan, Parker Huynh-Benningfield of Bates, Aidan Moss of Middlebury and Justin Keller of Tufts about the issues, what they learned from Ivy League student organizers, and how they are working to make this happen here, in 2025. In addition, we chat with new Lewis & Clark head coach Brett Elliott. Yes, that's the Brett Elliott who has been offensive coordinator at Linfield, who led Linfield to a national title as a quarterback and was the 2005 D3football.com Offensive Player of the Year. He'll talk about the quick and efficient interview process, how he found out who his leaders are on his new team, and what he did on his first weekend on the job. Plus we update the Cortland coaching search, and take your questions, many of them, and more in this edition of the podcast, as we start Season No. 19.

Rick Reiff is our guest this week to discuss his essay in the Fall 2024 Baseball Research Journal, "Gavy Cravath's Hall-Worthy 200 Home Runs."  Cravath, a late arrival, played 11 seasons in the Major Leagues and led the National League in home runs in six of those seasons, from 1913 to 1919. Cravath also led the Senior Circuit in RBI twice, in on base percentage twice and slugging percentage three times. Despite being the preeminent home run hitter in the Deadball Era, Cravath remains on the outside looking in for Hall of Fame induction. Reiff makes the case to remedy this.In part 2, Craig and Rex talk about the Rays playing their 2025 regular season at the Yankees' spring training home, the latest billion-dollar boondoggle to return the Houston Astrodome, an aging eyesore, to usefulness and how to turn a juice box to an ice box.Errata: Craig, its the Donner Party, not the Bonner Party.You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books through our store at Bookshop.org.

Hour 3 THE DRIVE - Thirsty Thurs! 11-14-24

Dr. Travis Stern's new book, "Ballplayers on Stage: Baseball, Melodrama, and Theatrical Celebrity in the Deadball Era" (Univ. of Tennessee Press, 2024) explores the relationship between professional baseball and professional theater in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Stern joins us in this episode to talk about his book and the how baseball and the theater contributed to the rise of the American culture, culminating with Babe Ruth's emergence as a national hero in the early 1920s. Stern is an Associate Professor of Theater Arts at Bradley University.Travis Stern on Bluesky (@travisstern.bsky.social)Travis Stern at Bradley UniversityIn Part Two, Craig went to a Duster show and talks about Duster, the show and the unusual opening act, Dirty Art Club.Errata: At one point Stern mentions seeing the "Yankees and Mets." We believe he meant to say "Yankees and Dodgers" as the Mets were not a team in the Deadball Era.Episodes mentioned or discussed:205 - Baseball at War: Working and Playing Ball in the Bethlehem Steel League w/ William Ecenbarger (https://tinyurl.com/hooks2051114)82 - Rube Waddell Would Make A Hell of a Movie w/ Prof. Alan H.

Seth and Sean talk about the Colts going back to Anthony Richardson at QB and if it essentially hands the Texans the AFC South this season, assess if the Texans being a 7.5 point favorite over the Cowboys is legit, discuss who is getting the most heat for the Texans' loss, react to JJ Watt explaining the players only meeting experience, dive into the whacky $1 Billion plan for the Astrodome that ultimately has no money, why the Anthony Richardson situation in Indy should be a warning sign for the Texans, dive into DeShon Elliot calling the Dolphins soft and Mike McDaniel's response, discuss Azeez Al-Shaair essentially telling Texans fans to relax, what Deion Sanders had to say about recruiting in the age of NIL, the Texans' reportedly lengthy players only meeting after their loss to the Lions, and what Nick Caserio says the Texans' offense must avoid in Dallas.

HOUR 2 - Seth and Sean discuss who is getting the most heat for the Texans' loss, react to JJ Watt explaining the players only meeting experience, and dive into the whacky $1 Billion plan for the Astrodome that ultimately has no money.

Seth and Sean dive into the Astrodome Conservancy's $1 Billion plan for what to do with the Astrodome. This looks cool, but there's no money!

On Thursday's show: The Astrodome Conservancy, a nonprofit that advocates for the preservation of the one-time "Eighth Wonder of the World," has unveiled a $1 billion redevelopment concept for the Dome. We find out what the plan calls for, who would pay for it, who needs to buy in, and what may set the idea apart from past proposals for the Astrodome.Also this hour: We discuss how physical media, such as vinyl records, DVDs, and books may be in a state of decline and renaissance all at the same time.And, on the anniversary of the U.S. Army overturning convictions of Black soldiers that stemmed from the 1917 Houston Riots, we visit the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum.

Looking to make the future a bit brighter here in Houston, just recently the Astrodome Conservancy released new plans for the old Astrodome area and what they may consist of doing with the area. Aiming to turn the area into a multi-use community following the possible addition of multiple businesses and venues to be placed in and around the district, many are excited about the "Vision Astrodome" and what it may bring to the city of Houston. The project pushes into the billion dollar price range as the Astrodome Conservancy urges citizens to sign a petition to show support for the plan although, some believe the historic landmark should be used for other use in the community instead. Many believe the area should turn into a Casino & Resort area while some think it's taking up space and should be tore down. With nothing stamped and for certain just yet on what the area may become, is it possible the Astrodome may be torn down in the months to come?

Hour 1 of the Killer B's with Joel Blank, and Jeremy Branham included... The guys mock this new billion dollar idea to save the Astrodome, where in the world would that money come from? What's more real, the Rockets at 7-4 or the Texans at 6-4? Jeremy has a semi radical idea to shake up the Texans offense and Slowik woes

H-Town, what do YOU think should be done with the former 8th wonder of the world?

Oscar-Winner and frontman for the Boxmasters Billy Bob Thornton and his longtime bandmate, Grammy-winning guitarist JD Andrew, sit with Says Who Sports to talk music, movies and a whole lotta sports!Thornton has been a big fan of sports, especially baseball, all his life. He grew up in rural Arkansas and became a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. Thornton shares his excitement at meeting Stan Musial and Bob Gibson, what it was like to witness the power of slugger Albert Pujols taking cuts in batting practice from an on-field perspective, drinking beers with Goose Gossage, a smoking session with Jim Leyland, his close relationship with former Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa, and his pick between Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens to pitch a winner-take-all game. Thornton, who starred in the movie Friday Night Lights, discusses immersing himself in the intensity and drama of Texas high school football, his iconic halftime speech in the movie, and his big respect for kickers, reinforced thru his own (painful) attempts at kicking seemingly simple extra points during breaks in filming in the Astrodome. Thornton, who has played and toured with the best in the music business since he was a teenager, and Andrew discuss their musical brotherhood of nearly two decades, their earliest musical influences, and stories of recording and sharing stages with many of their musical heroes, from ZZ Top to Warren Zevon. Andrew recounts what it was like working as a mixer in the studio with the Rolling Stones during the sessions for A Bigger Bang, including special moments with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Thornton discusses how winning an Oscar for Sling Blade changed his life, his gratitude for the cast members of the movie and the friendships that developed, and if Sling Blade could even be made today.

It seems to come up every year, retaliating by drilling the opposing team's hitter if they hit your guy. Gio thinks it's weird because we often talk about safety in sports, and then say you have to retaliate. The Yankees did it last night and it hurt them because the guy they hit scored. It does seem to make the fans happy, but it really didn't make much sense for them to do that. Will Aaron Judge be in the lineup today? We also somehow talked about Boomer always playing poorly in the Astrodome against the Oilers. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with a Devils trade for goalie Jacob Markstrom (Boomer insisted he start with that). He then went to Barclay Goodrow being claimed off waivers by the Sharks. Then we turned to baseball as Jose Trevino gave up another 4 steals. Gerrit Cole talked about his first start of the season. Brandon Tierney really wanted the Yankees to drill two Orioles. The Mets winning streak came to an end with a loss to the Rangers. We got into a discussion about mosquitos and how they suck our blood. In the final segment of the hour, a mom from Long Island called in to tell her side of the story from yesterday, when Jerry said there was almost a fight between parents at a little league game. A few callers came at her and she remained calm and stood her ground.

Hour 1 The Grimace Mets finally lost a game after winning seven straight. The Yankees also lost to the Orioles and they have a defensive catcher problem with Jose Trevino. Yankees relievers hit two Orioles last night in retaliation for Aaron Judge getting hit the night before. Judge did not play last night. Boomer tried to talk about the Rangers and Barclay Goodrow and Gio couldn't handle it. Unfortunately he talked about it for quite a while. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update of the day. Jerry took his family to Arizona, where it's going to be 113 degrees. C-Lo started with the Yankees loss to the Orioles and Gerrit Cole getting his first start of the season. The Mets winning streak is over and they play in Chicago starting tomorrow. In the final segment of the hour, Gio visited Gunnar yesterday and watched him ‘powerwash'. It did not go well. Gio understands, as the only tool in his toolbox is a checkbook.  Hour 2 It seems to come up every year, retaliating by drilling the opposing team's hitter if they hit your guy. Gio thinks it's weird because we often talk about safety in sports, and then say you have to retaliate. The Yankees did it last night and it hurt them because the guy they hit scored. It does seem to make the fans happy, but it really didn't make much sense for them to do that. Will Aaron Judge be in the lineup today? We also somehow talked about Boomer always playing poorly in the Astrodome against the Oilers.

The Mets winning streak came to an end with a loss to the Rangers. We got into a discussion about mosquitos and how they suck our blood. In the final segment of the hour, a mom from Long Island called in to tell her side of the story from yesterday, when Jerry said there was almost a fight between parents at a little league game. A few callers came at her and she remained calm and stood her ground.  Hour 3 We continued our discussion on youth sports and how some parents get completely out of hand. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Yankees losing to the Orioles in ten innings. The Yankees retaliated by hitting two Orioles players after Aaron Judge got hit on the hand the night before. Buck Showalter talked about what he looks for in a player. He doesn't want a flat butt player or a player that already has a full beard. He has his reasons. Boomer talked about quarterbacks needing to be thick in the butt and thighs. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer said he watched the Fever vs the Mystics in the WNBA. The Mets are off and the Yankees are playing a day game, so Gio will watch the Netflix documentary, ‘Tell Them You Love Me', about a professor at Rutgers and a non-verbal person. The professor went to jail so it's pretty interesting.  Hour 4 We talked more about the Yankees retaliating last night by hitting two Orioles hitters. We also heard from Joe Francisco, as his little league team was being badmouthed from some opponents in NJ. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day, but first Boomer tries to talk him into doing the 5-Borough Bike Tour next May. The Moment of The Day involves a little league mom defending her team's behavior and a caller telling her she's the problem with youth sports. In the final segment of the show, we are both getting texts about Team Francisco, a little league team on Long Island. Gio also talked about the lack of lovemaking if someone is staying at their house.

From his Bengals days: They ran up the score to 61 against the Oilers because Sam Wyche hated Jerry Glanville. We end with that song.
