I sat down with author Jeffrey Orens, who wrote Selling Baseball: How A.G. Spalding Built America's Game.This episode is all about the unsung architects of America's pastime—A.G. Spalding and George Wright. These two names might not be as famous as Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson, but their impact on baseball's transformation from a simple game to a nationwide business powerhouse is huge.We'll explore how Spalding's marketing genius and Wright's pioneering play helped shape baseball into the beloved sport we know today. You're not going to want to miss this deep dive into baseball history.
Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1992 Babe Ruth biopic, "The Babe." They introduce the film (1:36), with an overview of the script, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film (4:05). Amount of Baseball (10:01) is surprisingly baffling for a relatively objective tool, but our scouts try to parse the true amount given the unsatisfying, nothing-but-dingers nature of the gameplay. There is a sad player comp. Baseball Accuracy (15:00) dives in on this film's Babe Ruth pitcher erasure, including striking out Ty Cobb, and inaccuracies with Ruth's first career game and his performance in the 1916 World Series. His time with the Orioles and Jack Dunn also elided, with some unfortunate consequences including the creation of his nickname. Some examination of very young George as a rapscallion, his home life, and his time at St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, plus Brother Matthias accuracy. Did Babe Ruth ever come late to a game drunk? There are many, many timeline problems, particularly with Claire and Helen. Ellen plays a game of What Year Is It. Discussion of Joe Dugan, Dorothy, Ruth punching an umpire, Ernie Shore's "combined" no-hitter, Eddie Bennett, Harry Frazee's sale of Ruth, the Called Shot, the Johnny Sylvester story, the feud with Lou Gehrig, and Ruth's "milk." Ruth's relationship with Miller Huggins, and his desire to become a manager himself, including anecdotes with Frank Navin and Connie Mack, are examined. WTF is up with the depiction of Ruth's athleticism, (including his purported use of a courtesy runner)? The final game has as many problems as the rest of the film. Storytelling (1:04:02) highlights this film's main problems: the classic biopic problem of trying to tell the entire life story, timeline jumbles, and the depiction of Ruth as a dumb man-child. Yankee Stadium propaganda. Ellen has a list of Unanswerable Questions. Score (1:20:10) envisions the scenario in which consummate professional Elmer Bernstein was asked to compose the music for this film. Acting (1:23:13) discusses this disappointing John Goodman performance, backed by a whole lot of It's Fine. Ellen uplifts one Trini Alvarado moment. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:29:00) had so many good catcher names and Ruth's own catcher feats as possible fodder, but nothing is made of them. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:30:31) considers the culpability of the announcers for the inaccuracies. Lack of Misogyny (1:33:40) has much to contend with given Ruth's biographical philandering, but somehow this movie makes it so, so much worse. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (1:40:39), Six Degrees of Baseball (1:44:42), Favorite Moment (1:45:22) Least Favorite Moment (1:46:45), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (1:47:47), Dreamiest Player (1:49:50), Favorite Performance (1:50:28) and Next Time (1:51:36).

Send us a textRemember the magic of endless summer days spent outdoors with friends? The Sandlot perfectly captures that fleeting, golden moment in childhood when every day brought new adventures and time seemed to stretch forever. This week, we dive into the beloved 1993 classic that manages to be both a product of its time and completely timeless.The film's portrayal of Scotty Smalls' journey from awkward outsider to accepted member of the neighborhood baseball crew resonates deeply with anyone who's ever felt like they didn't belong. We explore how Benny Rodriguez represents the ideal friend we all wished we had—talented yet humble, confident yet kind, and willing to believe in someone when no one else would. That relationship forms the beating heart of a story that's ostensibly about baseball but is really about friendship, growing up, and the memories that shape us.What strikes us most rewatching The Sandlot as adults is how it documents a way of childhood that seems increasingly distant—kids roaming freely through neighborhoods, creating their own adventures without constant adult supervision. There's something both nostalgic and slightly heartbreaking about seeing these children experience a freedom that many kids today might never know. The film serves as a time capsule not just of the 1960s it portrays, but also of the 1990s when such childhoods were still possible.Along the way, we unpack some baseball history (including whether Babe Ruth really "called his shot"), examine how the film's quotable lines have become part of our cultural vocabulary, and appreciate the practical effects used to create The Beast—that legendary neighborhood dog who becomes the catalyst for the film's final adventure. The Sandlot reminds us that childhood fears often loom larger in our imagination than in reality, and that sometimes the monsters in our lives are just misunderstood.Have you revisited any childhood favorites lately? We'd love to hear which films still capture your imagination decades later.

What does it mean to be “immortal? In Greek mythology, Zeus, Athena and Apollo were among their immortal gods, those who lived forever and had powerful influence over the mortal world. When someone achieves extraordinary levels of greatness in their field, they are often spoken of as being immortal. In American baseball, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays are “immortalized” by the way they played the game. These examples show us that immortality can be applied to mean someone or something as never dying, be it in a physical or an intellectual sense. So, how does the Bible define immortality? As we explore this question, we will see a clear and focused reasoning emerge that elevates what immortality is and who will have it. Immortality: Inherent or a gift? Exploring the biblical concept of immortality requires focusing on its New Testament definition and implications. The Bible defines immortality as the inability to die or decay. This meaning is derived from two Greek words: athanasia (deathlessness) and aphthartos (incorruptibility). The Apostle Paul's writings, especially 1 Corinthians 15, describe how humanity must transform from mortal (liable to die) and corruptible (subject to decay) to immortal and incorruptible in order to inherit the heavenly kingdom of God. These findings clearly indicate that immortality is not an inherent human trait. Rather, it is a rare gift from God. It is given only to faithful followers of Christ who demonstrate self-sacrifice, discipline and obedience to God's truth. Therefore, achieving immortality requires a life dedicated to spiritual growth and living by God's will. So, what about everyone else who has ever lived? These masses of people are offered eternal life—a perpetual existence reliant on God's sustenance. Eternal life allows for the possibility of death if one strays, whereas immortality ensures complete deathlessness. The resurrection and Day of Judgment play crucial roles in offering eternal life to humanity. God's ultimate plan ensures eternal harmony between spiritual and earthly creations, with immortality reserved for a select few who serve as reconcilers. Understanding these levels of existence helps us appreciate God's power, love, justice and wisdom in a deeper way.
Luke Weaver el cerrador que los Yankees necesitan. Aaron Judge es el mejor bateador de las Grandes Ligas. Recordamos a Babe Ruth en su día.
Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the top stories around Major League Baseball with betting leans for this week and beyond. The Inside Pitch, recorded April 28 with Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers, reviews MLB standings and focuses on Yankees bullpen changes. Devin Williams lost the closer role after posting an 11.25 ERA, allowing 12 runs, 12 hits, and 7 walks in just 8 innings. Towers attributes Williams' struggles to mental weakness under New York pressure rather than mechanics, noting his strikeout rate dropped to 18.2% and sweet spot contact rose to 42.9%. Luke Weaver, who has thrown 14 scoreless innings with only 3 hits allowed and 14 strikeouts, steps in as closer. Weaver's mindset and adaptability were praised. The discussion predicts Williams could struggle further when used earlier in games to rebuild confidence. The Orioles are highlighted as the best "over" team at home due to poor pitching, favoring the over nine-and-a-half total in the Yankees-Orioles matchup. Conversely, an under nine bet is favored in the Rangers-Athletics game, citing solid pitching from Patrick Corbin and JP Sears. Gunnar Henderson's slump is analyzed: batting .220 with a 29.1% strikeout rate and minimal walks, attributed to over-aggression. Team evaluations followed: the Yankees and Red Sox are considered legitimate, Tampa Bay consistent but streaky, while skepticism is directed at the Blue Jays and Orioles sustaining competitiveness. In the AL Central, the Tigers are viewed as legitimate division contenders, with the Royals better than their record suggests. Towers criticizes the MLB's reduced minor leagues for worsening player development and opposes expansion. Aaron Judge's performance is lauded as historically elite with a 13.7 WAR across the last year, comparable to Babe Ruth's best seasons. Judge's discipline at the plate and patience are credited for his continued dominance. In the NL East, the Mets' excellent pitching and 12–1 home record establish them as serious contenders. Towers expects the Braves to rebound and questions the Phillies' consistency due to defensive lapses. In the Central, the Cubs are seen as overperforming, while Cincinnati, led by an improving Elly De La Cruz, is a value pick. Further analysis highlights Judge's league-best weighted runs created plus and criticizes the Dodgers' injury problems, blaming organizational changes to pitching mechanics. The Padres and Mariners are praised for pitching but have offensive concerns; the Rangers are expected to surge in the AL West. Award discussions follow: Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso are MVP favorites, Tariq Skubal and Logan Webb are Cy Young contenders. Top prospects like Roman Anthony and Jack Caglione are discussed cautiously, with Towers warning that MLB's fast-tracking approach harms long-term player development.

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 295 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're beginning our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.Arguably one of the greatest power hitters of all-time, Gibson established himself as one of professional baseball's most feared threats at the plate during the 1930s and 1940s.Gibson was a fantastic catcher for the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawford during this span, and was a 12x All-Star, 3x Negro NL batting champion and 2x Negro League World Series champion.Sadly, despite his success in the United States, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Cuba, Gibson was unable to play in Major League Baseball due to the racist, “Gentlemen's Agreement.” This barred any ball players of color from playing in MLB until the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson in 1947.Though the statistics vary, many posit Gibson could've hit close to 800 home runs during his professional career. After MLB's decision to include Negro League stats in 2021, Gibson became the league's career leader in batting average!Sadly, Gibson suffered from inner demons and died in 1947 of a stroke. Though he never played in Major League Baseball, he still made the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972 due to his amazing impact on the game!Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #joshgibson#baseballplayer#baseball

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

His latest book is, Baseball's Two-Way Greats: Pitching/Batting Stars from Ruth and Rogan to Ohtani. The book explores the history of two-way baseball players from the 19th century up to the modern era. Chris provides information which shows that Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth are not the only players to have excelled at both pitching and batting. There have been many exceptional two-way players, including John Montgomery Ward and Negro League standouts, Bullet Rogan, Martin Dihigo, Leon Day and Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe. Sixty additional Negro League players are covered for their two-way feats, plus an examination of top two-way players from the 19th century, Deadball Era, and Live-Ball Era with more than 130 players featured.

What good would a history podcast be without some sports history? Babe Ruth feels like he should be on the Mount Rushmore of sports history. Born in the Pigtown part of Baltimore, he defied the odds to become the most well-known baseball player of all time. He dazzled fans on the field, on the silver screen, and on every sports page in the country. His trade from the Red Sox also cursed the organization for the next 86 years. As a Yankee he was a pivotal part of many World Series contenders. He was the anchor of the famed Murderers Row batting line up. For all his success on the field, his life in the clubhouse and outside the stadium was more flawed than most people know. Join us as we get Historically High on Babe Ruth.Support the show
