Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field could become an uncomfortable night for the Mets, with Evan Roberts predicting fans may treat Alonso like the home-team star. Plus, Evan and Shaun Morash battle over Jaxson Dart versus Geno Smith, debate a new extra-innings idea, and get pulled into the absurd Babe Ruth conspiracy.
Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field could turn into an unforgettable scene, with Evan Roberts predicting Mets fans may treat the former franchise star like the home-team hero. Evan compares Alonso's looming reception to Eddie Giacomin's legendary Rangers return and debates whether the Mets should even raise the home run apple if Alonso reaches a milestone. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as the Geno Smith versus Jaxson Dart argument heats up again, including whether the Jets have any realistic path to eight wins. Plus, the NFL officially kills the Pro Bowl games, the guys dream up a wild Yankees-Mets tripleheader, and a ridiculous Babe Ruth conspiracy takes over Cinco de Five.
Welcome to the podcast! If it’s your first time here, don’t forget to subscribe or follow wherever you watch or listen. Tim Kurkjian and his son, Jeff, are here to make you laugh, smile, and hopefully learn a thing or two about baseball. We kick things off with the first day of school for Tim’s grandkids and the passing of a legendary country star, which had Jeff—a full-time country music morning show host—very busy on the day of the recording. Our Takeaways include praise for the White Sox and their incredible walk-off wins. Plus, the Brewers are the best team in Major League Baseball, and Tim explains how they’re doing it. Mason Miller finally showed some weakness, while the Royals have accomplished something not many teams 20 games under .500 have done. And, believe it or not, there’s historical precedent suggesting the Red Sox could win it all! The Quirkjians feature a Cal Raleigh and Babe Ruth comparison for the ages. We had no idea Ruth did this at the end of his career! We’re still in shock over games from Randy Arozarena and Pete Crow-Armstrong that have NEVER happened before. And then there’s Young Junk, which Jeff couldn’t get enough of. On This Date in Baseball History, we celebrate Jim Thome’s birthday and a record he holds that Jeff was actually able to guess! Plus, it’s Mike Maddux’s birthday, too. We remember Joe Morgan for what he did back in 1978, and then it’s time for Alphabest! We’re on to the letter W, searching for the best position player and pitcher with a last name beginning with W. Is it Ted Williams or Honus Wagner? Early Wynn or Rube Waddell? Three Cards in the Bathroom takes a look back at some amazing players, with stories that only Tim Kurkjian could come up with. And we wrap things up with Team Tim, focusing on back-to-school season for our kids, parents, and teachers.

The traditionalists said it was a mockery. The investors said it wouldn't scale. Babe Ruth woulda blushed.But today, while the Red Sox and Yankees yawn in the dugout, the Savannah Bananas are selling out those very same stadiums… while on stilts.In this episode, we sit down with the husband-and-wife co-founders to uncover how they turned a struggling startup - with so much debt they had to sell their house - into a viral phenomenon with a waitlist of over 1 million people.We dive deep into their "Fans First" business model, why they refuse to take VCmoney, and how "burning the boring" let them create a new sport and disrupt a 100-year-old industry.They even got engaged in the middle of a (rainy) baseball game.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:The "Anti-Business" Model: Why they refuse to take investors, sell advertising, charge for hot dogs, or collect sales taxes.Burn The Boring: How they audited every second of a baseball game to eliminate friction (goodbye, bunts and walks).The "Do The Opposite" Strategy: How a philosophy inspired by P.T.

How did a federal prosecutor end up suing a 70-million-year-old tyrannosaurus, looted from the Gobi Desert? By teaming up with The Babe Ruth of Forfeiture and a personal injury lawyer representing the president of Mongolia, naturally. What followed was a matter of international diplomacy and Florida men — of a narc at the museum and a conspicuous crate, all leading to Pablo's high school, The Graveyard of the Oviraptor... and, of course, Nicolas Cage.(This episode originally aired April 15, 2025.)• Subscribe to PTFO on YouTube for breaking news, greatest hits and live premieres with Pablo• Subscribe to Pablo's Substack for exclusive access, documents and invites Hosted on Acast.

Step into the bleachers of Comiskey Park, where the Boston Red Sox face off against the Chicago Cubs in the 1918 World Series. With America deep in the throes of World War I, baseball offers a brief escape from the harsh realities of war and loss. This pivotal game, featuring Babe Ruth as the Red Sox's starting pitcher, also marks the moment when the Star-Spangled Banner begins its journey to becoming an iconic part of American sports. Join Sportly host Kavitha Davidson as she explores the history of playing the national anthem at sporting events in the wake of World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, and 9/11. Davidson examines how these moments have sparked both unity and protest throughout U.S. history.

Baseball history gets personal, and this one might change how you see the game forever. Author, filmmaker, historian, and former player Kerry Yo Nakagawa reveals the hidden legacy of Japanese American baseball. The family stories that shaped his life, and the lessons every athlete needs to hear right now. Kerry has spent decades preserving a missing chapter of American sports history, from the Nisei players who were denied access to Major League Baseball to the generations of ballplayers who kept the game alive anyway. He shares how a childhood surrounded by sandlot baseball, a family photo with Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, and a simple moment watching his son's jersey sparked a lifelong mission to uncover the stories most fans never hear. You'll discover: – Why Japanese American players were forced into their own leagues – How sandlot baseball built championship habits, double plays, and baseball IQ – What Japan's training, discipline, and attention to detail can teach players everywhere – Why Shohei Ohtani's bathroom duty says everything about his mindset – How baseball, football, film, and even Alcatraz all connect in one unforgettable life Kerry also opens up about his work in film and television. His work on Rocky II, Chuck Norris projects, and his close relationship with Pat Morita, the beloved Mr. Miyagi. Along the way, he talks about the power of pride, discipline, and doing every job like it matters – whether you're cleaning a toilet, turning a double play, or chasing a dream. If you love baseball, history, or stories about people who turned adversity into legacy, this episode belongs on your playlist. It is funny, surprising, deeply human, and packed with the kind of insight that makes you appreciate the game in a whole new way.
Mark Walter bought the Lakers in October at a $10 billion valuation and just sold them to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, clearing a $2.5 billion profit in under a year. Covino and Rich react to the biggest flip in sports history and then dig up the other great steals: Steinbrenner getting the Yankees from CBS for $10 million, Jerry Jones buying the Cowboys for $140 million, Blockbuster passing on Netflix at $75 million, Facebook grabbing Instagram for a billion, Manhattan for a satchel of beads, and the part of the Babe Ruth sale nobody bothers to explain. There is also a $600 hair restoration helmet that showed up on a clearance shelf in Idaho for fifty bucks. Then it is time for They Might Be Ass, where Rich goes through the Arizona Cardinals schedule game by game and explains why the Carson Beck preseason hype is a trap and why Vegas setting the win total at three and a half is still too generous. And because today is the anniversary of South Park's 1997 debut, the guys count down their top three adult cartoons of all time, with Beavis and Butt-Head, Ren and Stimpy, Gravity Falls, Family Guy and South Park all in the mix.

Ty from Slab Factory joins The Man Cave Podcast to talk all things sports cards and collecting. We kick things off with a look back at the first-ever Packs & Pints event at The Brewing Projekt, including why getting kids and families involved in the hobby was such a big focus—and why the event exceeded expectations. Then we dive into the current sports-card market, including Matthew Golden, Jesus Madej, Cooper Pratt and George Lombard, and whether buying cards of young players before they become stars can pay off. We also discuss the growing popularity of Topps' Mount Rushmore inserts, the thrill—and risk—of opening vintage packs, and some of the biggest cards in the hobby that are still out there somewhere. Ty also breaks down why modern cards can sometimes sell for more than cards of legends like Hank Aaron, the importance of rarity versus current hype, and the ultimate Babe Ruth "grail" card. Plus, we answer listener questions about vintage unopened boxes and what makes a card truly valuable. It's another deep dive into the sports-card hobby on The Man Cave Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What does "rare" actually mean in the sports card hobby anymore? A Michael Jordan Molten Metal Fusion Titanium numbered to just 40 copies reportedly sells privately for nearly $1 million, sparking a fascinating debate. To an ultra-modern collector accustomed to cards numbered to 10, 5 or even one-of-ones, is /40 really rare? To a 90s collector, /40 can be extraordinarily rare. And to a vintage collector, rarity may have an entirely different meaning. Chris McGill of Card Ladder brings the question to the Sports Cards Live panel and we go deep. We discuss manufactured scarcity versus organic rarity, print runs versus actual surviving populations, how often a card actually becomes available, and the enormous difference between a card being technically rare and being truly scarce. We also explore the importance of substitutes. There may only be 40 copies of one particular Michael Jordan card, but how many other desirable Jordan cards exist from that same season? Compare that to vintage icons where collectors may have far fewer alternatives. Then we add condition and eye appeal to the equation. Can an otherwise common card become effectively rare simply because exceptionally attractive copies almost never surface? Joe Poirot explains why owning a one-of-one has changed his entire perspective on rarity, while Jeff Hart, David Chase, Joshua Adams and Jeremy Lee bring their own collecting philosophies into the debate. Then we make it personal: What is the one card you simply wouldn't sell? From a Roberto Clemente rookie purchased as a teenager to an in-person Luka Doncic autograph tied to a special memory, a playing-era autographed Bill Russell rookie and Jeremy's Superman, Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio cards, everyone has a different reason why certain pieces become irreplaceable. Plus, we discuss the psychology of "not-for-sale" prices, Michael Jordan cards reaching astonishing new levels, whether collectors should actually WANT card prices to fall, and why sometimes loving the card matters more than loving the money. Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

Is the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a must-see shrine to baseball history, or does the experience fall short of expectations?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down a recent firsthand visit to Cooperstown and what was surprisingly missing. From the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery and exhibits featuring Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Pete Rose, Shohei Ohtani and more, we look at how baseball history is presented and compare the experience with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.We also discuss Cooperstown's massive youth baseball scene, the challenges of visiting the small New York town, and the biggest question of all: Is the Baseball Hall of Fame actually worth making a special trip to see?Before getting into Cooperstown, we kick things off with a surprising Jaws story involving Martha's Vineyard, shark attacks, and one of the movie's child actors more than 50 years later.Do you agree with the criticism, or is Cooperstown still a bucket-list destination for every baseball fan?

Over a hundred years ago, a forward-thinking sportswriter suggests that a certain Yankees slugger might solve a munitions crisis much like the one the United States military is reportedly suffering from today. Then we turn to the Giants of the John McGraw era for one of the more obscure Hall of Famers, one very different from Ruth but, like the Babe and the “platinum blonde” actress Jean Harlow, he got a raw deal from his own body. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the National League MVP race after Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani both hit two home runs in the finale of the Chicago Cubs' three-game sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The guys dive deep into PCA's leap as a hitter—including cutting his chase rate by 7.5%—and contrast his elite center field defense with Ohtani's offensive dominance and 85.2 innings on the mound. They also run through the rest of the MLB awards landscape, including Yordan Alvarez commanding the AL MVP, Dylan Cease battling Cam Schlittler for the AL Cy Young, Jacob Misiorowski facing Cristopher Sanchez for NL Cy Young, and key Rookie of the Year contenders. Next, the mailbag opens up for a series of wild conspiracy theories and listener emails. The hosts evaluate whether Detroit Tigers owner Chris Ilitch traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers to fuel salary cap animosity, debate whether non-Dodgers front offices hold a "loser mentality," address a Washington Nationals fan's frustration over trading core stars, and discuss why Gen Z players keep trolling about whether Babe Ruth was a real person. Finally, it's Friday, which means it's time for "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". Highlights from "The Good" include the Boston Red Sox's wild 13-inning comeback against the Chicago White Sox and Jefry Yan's leaping strikeout debut for the New York Mets. "The Bad" covers Harrison Bader's fire truck scooter accident and Kevin Gausman's daughter roasting the Blue Jays.
