Podcasts about Babe Ruth

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark cover some fresh headlines around the game — including Mariano Rivera going down at Yankees Old-Timers' Day, Jen Pawol breaking barriers behind the plate, and Fernando Rodney still firing arrows in Canada at age 48. The main topic this week is Babe Phelps, one of baseball's many “Babes,” but maybe the quirkiest of the bunch. From hitting .367 as a catcher, to Casey Stengel roasting his pitch-calling, to being nicknamed “The Grounded Blimp” after refusing to fly, Phelps collected as many roommate stories as base hits. Along the way, we meet a young Pee Wee Reese moving hotel furniture in his sleep, Tom Zachary hiding wallets on the floor, and even Babe Ruth bunking with Phelps on the road. The episode wraps up with another round of Wax Pack Heroes, tearing open some cardboard to see which stars and oddballs pop out this week. 00:00 Introduction and Banter 01:13 Upcoming Milestone Episode 01:52 Yankees Old Timers Game 04:21 Jen Powel 08:08 Fernando Rodney's New Chapter 10:52 Baseball Players and Pokemon Cards 13:51 Babe Phelps: The Forgotten Babe 27:36 Wax Pack Heroes 48:16 Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

In this special emergency episode, J.R. Bang and Camp From the Port react to the passing of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan at the age of 71. The hosts dive into the complex and polarizing legacy of Hogan, acknowledging his monumental impact on professional wrestling while addressing the controversies that have marred his reputation. They reflect on Hogan's role in shaping the wrestling industry, likening his influence to that of Michael Jordan in basketball or Babe Ruth in baseball.

The hosts discuss the mixed emotions surrounding his death, balancing respect for his contributions to wrestling with criticism of his personal actions. They emphasize the importance of acknowledging both the good and the bad when evaluating a public figure's legacy. The episode concludes with a promise to explore Hogan's life and career in greater depth on Sunday's show, offering a nuanced discussion of his wrestling achievements and the complicated legacy he leaves behind.

Babe Ruth's called shot. JFK's moon shot. Reagan's demand to tear down the Berlin Wall. All remarkable calls that led to remarkable moments in American and world history. Blaise Ingoglia is no Babe Ruth. Ending property taxes in Florida isn't exactly a “moon shot”. However, on a relative level, the impact throughout the state of Florida might be the equivalent locally of tearing down the Berlin Wall.

Let's Play Ball! continues to heat up the summer here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week's episode comes straight from a fan recommendation! We're stepping back in time to the epic 1961 home run race with 61* - the story of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle.

Grab your drink and let's talk about a record chase that gripped a nation.This week, we're diving into Billy Crystal's portrayal of the intense pressure and rivalry (and friendship) between the "M&M Boys" as they chased Babe Ruth's legendary single-season home run record. We'll be talking about the film's depiction of the media circus, the weight of history, and how two very different personalities handled being under an unforgiving spotlight. It's a look at the human side of a record-breaking season, with all the drama, struggle, and indelible moments.If you're a baseball history buff, a fan of underdog stories (even if you're pulling for the other guy), or just curious about what it took to hit 61 dingers in '61, this episode is for you. We're blending our analysis of the film with our usual conversational style, and yes, Mackenzie will have some thoughts about the Yankees of it all.

Send us a textBaseball's Two-Way Greats - Pitching/Batting Stars from Ruth and Rogan to Ohtani by Chris Jensen. Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest two-way player in #MLB history? Chris Jensen isn't afraid to take on big subjects and 19th century baseball had its fair share of two-way stars.  Chris breaks down the greatest two-way players into 19th century, pre-integration era (1947), Negro Leagues, Latin Leagues, and of course the post-integrated era. Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe was both a pitcher and catcher and would sometimes play behind the plate in one game of a doubleheader and then pitch the other game! Babe Ruth is the first name you think of when you think two-way players but how about John Montgomery Ward? Or Negro League star player and manager Bullet Rogan? Was he really better than Satchel Paige? Chris believes Shohei is amazing just like we all do and gives reasons why Shohei might be the best of them all although he'd rather not categorize things that way.  Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Word on the street is that Lawrence Tech will let Bentley miss the 45-yard FG under the lights. Trainwreck: The Real Project X on Netflix is a fun watch. South Park was supposed to start today, but got pushed back again. Thanks a lot, Paramount. Maz showed up at the Planet Fitness workout today! Then he went to the Detroit Tigers game and assaulted the buffet and negated all his gains. Drew suggests watching Paul Rudd's Friendship, but you're not allowed to bill him if you don't like it. Joe Biden's doctor (not to be confused with Dr Jill Biden) pleads the 5th in front of the House Oversight Committee. Did Jeff Bezos' wedding hurt Prime Day? Yes or No, please use our link for all your Prime Day shopping. Who can say the worst thing about the Texas flood victims? Today's entry is from a pediatrician who isn't a fan of Donald Trump. The blame game is for losers... unless it's about the LA fires. Where in the world is Ted "Carmen San Diego" Cruz? ICE arrested an MS-13 kingpin in Omaha, Nebraska. Mary Lou Retton video from yesterday has some great comments. What band is Sharon Osborne talking about who was disinvited from the Back to the Beginning show? Paul McCartney needs more money so he'l be touring the US in 2025. Lauryn Hill performed at the Essence Festival at 3 in the morning... but for once it's not her fault. Kelly Stafford spilled about the prenup she has with Matthew Stafford. AND HANK IS ON THE PODCAST! Dr Yaldo brings you the Bonerline this week. Keep it stiff, Yaldo! A Crazy Karen on a plane is in a hurry, but she'll make time to show you her bar card. James Charles is in trouble again for being offensive. Poor Livvy Dunne. She couldn't buy Babe Ruth's old home. Tom Brady & Sofia Vergara are boning, but only until Labor Day. Eva Longoria is posting hot photos in a bikini after saying she was done posting thirst traps. LiAngelo Ball, the famous rapper everyone knows, is about to hit the market again. He filed for divorce. His music still sucks. Someone needs to start a GoFundMe for Joe Burrow for a Batmobile. Everyone is checking out the #1 book in the country (Caitlin Clark). We went on a little detour of YouTube breastfeeding videos. Sorry. Jim's Picks: Top 10 Black Sabbath Songs.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media: major media outlets are refusing to cover far-left attacks against ICE agents in Texas and CNN data suggests Americans aren't afraid of climate change (despite progressive fear mongering). 5:30pm- A California woman says her home was mistakenly listed as the return address for a Chinese car seat seller on Amazon—and consequently, her home has been flooded with unwanted returns! PLUS, why can't Livyy Dunn live in Babe Ruth's $1.6 million condo? 5:45pm- On Wednesday, former White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment while testifying before the House Oversight Committee about President Joe Biden's cognitive health.

Happy Thursday! We chat about expensive fast food, give you a big announcement about 1460, Timmy's upset with Tyvis, Man has an update on his electric bill, Livy Dunne tried to buy Babe Ruth's apartment, there was an interesting fight on the golf course, we chat about some terrible NFL coaches, tell you our favorite Spielberg movies, we celebrate Lee Elia's tantrum & we play some Too Hot audio.

   The Royals have done something nobody saw coming.  They are hitting, winning and suddenly we have to look at them differently after winning 4 in a row and 6 out of 7.   Because they surged to a playoff series win last year AND they want to build a new stadium... I'm guessing the Royals are about to be buyers in the trade market.   At Big 12 media days, KU Athletic Director Travis Goff talks about their new football stadium opening August 23 and in doing so promises something historic around the corner.  Goff says the next announcement in fundraising has never been done in college athletics history.  We are all ears.    Gymnast and social media influencer Livvy Dunne thought she had a New York apartment purchased with boyfriend pitcher for the Pirates Paul Skenes.  Then the owners pulled the offer.  She posted a video about it and seemed really hurt because that apartment was Babe Ruth's home in 1929.    The Secret Service has suspended six agents involved at the Trump shooting in Pennsylvania one year ago.  Job gains for Americans are in the millions as  those for non-Americans falling off a cliff.    Chief of Staff Susie Wiles does a rare interview talking about what happened between Mr. Trump and Elon Musk.  And homeowners and those who want to be homeowners are about to get some breaks.    Our Final Final is quarterback Kirk Cousins with a nifty little hack at Great Clips.

Today's guest is Chris Hyzy. Chris is Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer supporting Bank of America Private Bank and Merrill Lynch (within Bank of America Corporation). He leads investment strategy, asset allocation, equity and fixed income management, due diligence, and wealth planning guidance.   Previously, he was CIO and Chief Investment Strategist for the Private Bank at Bank of America. Before that, he held senior investment roles at Citigroup Private Bank, including CIO for Latin America and chair of the Global Investment Themes Committee. He also led investment strategy teams at Merrill earlier in his career.   Chris holds a bachelor's degree in business from Villanova University and an MBA in finance from NYU's Stern School of Business. He serves on Villanova's board of trustees and has held other advisory and nonprofit investment roles.   In today's episode, we discussed:   · Chris shared his early career story, which began at Merrill in 1991, learning about finance after being cut from the baseball team at Villanova & focusing instead on investing. · Discussion of Chris's experience coaching sports (football, basketball) and keeping his competitive edge outside of work, noting his national championship softball team. · Chris described the BofA Chief Investment Office (CIO) structure, highlighting manager due diligence, thought leadership, portfolio management, & wealth structuring. · Emphasis on encouraging team members to pursue the CFA designation (worth noting he was a CFA candidate before he pursued his MBA at NYU) · Discussed the balance of absolutes vs. probabilities in market forecasting, including the importance of scenario planning, with their current base case being a “soft patch” rather than an imminent recession, referencing the resilience of the consumer and job market. · Exploration of valuations, equity allocations, and continuing opportunities in global markets & alternative assets as a diversifier. · Chris spoke about the evolving office market in commercial real estate, seeing “slow burn” adjustments and repositioning as potential outcomes. · Final thoughts touched on best practices for young professionals: keys being curious, prepared, & disciplined. · Chris named Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as two historical figures he would want to interview if the tables were turned & he were the host of the Investors First Podcast.   Today's hosts are Steve Curley, CFA (Co-Managing Principal at 55 North Private Wealth) & co-host Steven Rogers, CFA (VP, Capital Markets at Hillpointe).   Please enjoy the episode.

Yerrrr! The Need to Know squad sat down with the one and only Mero — Bronx legend, multi-hyphenate menace, and certified culture shifter. From smoke shop runs and wrap flavors you've never heard of (00:49) to building his own creative empire, Mero delivers nonstop laughs, real game, and signature BX energy. He breaks down why TV is cooked and YouTube is king (05:51), raising his beautiful children (17:29), and his hilarious theory that Babe Ruth might've been Black (24:25). He explains why licensing your content is the real power move (30:47) and how he's building Victory Light like the Dominican Dick Wolf (33:07). We get personal with stories about giving fans love at Dave's Hot Chicken (40:41), and being inspired early by Combat Jack (42:40). Mero shares how Marlon Wayans gave him game (58:11), and how Denzel Washington taught him to move with an “attitude of gratitude” (01:00:15). He also talks about co-hosting with Carmelo Anthony on 7PM in Brooklyn and why it's deeper than content (01:37:18). Oh — and yes, Mero answers the age-old question: What's harder — being a Knicks fan or coaching little kids in football? (01:24:19). Mero closes it out with a classic BX take — Yankees fans are spoiled, Mets fans are built different (01:42:14). From gems to jokes, legacy talk to hood stories, this one's special. Tap in!

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

In 2005, Aaron and his college friend Jon were just two undergrads trying to pull off a film festival with a $3,000 budget. Their goal? Land a special guest who would leave a lasting impact. After a series of wild long shots, they found the perfect fit — The Sandlot's Art LaFleur, the actor who played Babe Ruth. This episode is about what happened next: a weekend of laughter, inspiration, and unexpected campus fame. It's also about creative dreams, the power of nostalgia, and the regret of waiting too long to reconnect. A tribute to a beloved character actor — and a reminder that legends never die. *If you like 7MS, you'll love 7MS Presents: Live and Unscripted — a live, audio‑first show inspired by classic late‑night radio. It features raw reflections, spontaneous storytelling, unexpected conversations with guests, and a live chat with you, the listener.

Attending a New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike.With its deep history, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!

Ellen Adair and Brennan Brown talk about the brand-new instant-classic baseball film EEPHUS. Ellen introduces Brennan (0:40), and then the film (3:50) overviewing its festival appearances, the director Carson Lund, and some of the cast. They summarize the film (10:40) and review the 20-80 scouting scale (13:25) and talk about the scouting director to whom Brennan will be reporting Eephus's grades (14:30). They begin with Amount of Baseball (18:50), discussing this film's tool-defining wealth of baseball in numerous ways. Baseball Accuracy (26:37) delves into the baseball ability as depicted, and some of the questionable ball/strike calls that end the game. Ellen brings up an apparent What Inning Is It discrepancy that is not what it seems, and Graham as the MIA third base coach. They discuss Franny's paraphrasing of the baseball quotes in the film from Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Branch Rickey, Rickey Henderson and Yogi Berra. Ellen, scarred from REVERSE THE CURSE, has some trauma around the amount of Yankee content in a Massachusetts-based movie, which gets the scouts into a heated conversation. They talk about the definition and history of the eephus pitch, discussing Rip Sewell, Maurice van Robays, Ted Williams, Fernando Abad, Luis Tiant, Yu Darvish, Steve Hamilton, Phil Niekro, Dave LaRoche, Carlos Zambrano, Vicente Padilla, Satchel Paige, Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill, Zack Greinke, Brock Holt, and, of course, Bill Lee. A small sidebar on position players pitching, and a longer dive into some delightful Easter eggs with Bill Lee's appearance in the film, and its magical realism. In Storytelling (1:03:45), our scouts discuss the tradition of slow cinema and how that applies to EEPHUS. They marvel at the way information is skillfully planted for the audience to put together, and appreciate the even-handedness of the depictions of the teams, if with some disagreements about the way the audience's empathy is guided. The fact that no one else besides the men involved care much about the game feels important, as does the fall setting, and this season as a thematic character. They discuss the film's relationship of comedy to tragedy. Brennan brings up GOODBYE DRAGON INN, and thinking about transcendental filmmaking leads to a conversation about being present, acting, baseball, time, mortality, and the spiritual exercise of play. The metaphor of the fireworks is explored. The Score Tool (1:51:26) discusses Carson Lund's percussive score and the use of radio as background scoring. In Acting (1:56:56) they discuss the performances of Russell J. Gannon, Cliff Blake, Keith William Richards, David Torres Jr., Ray Hryb, Peter Minkarah, David Pridemore, Theodore Bouloukos, Ethan Ward, Patrick Garrigan, Conner Marx, Brendan Burt, and the commendable evenness of tone across the whole ensemble. Delightfulness of Catcher Character (2:09:28) discusses the performances of John R. Smith, Jr, as John and Chris Goodwin as Garrett. Brennan is vulnerable with a personal trial that mirrors a moment in the film. Delightfulness of Announcer (2:22:23) considers the presences of Frederick Wiseman and Joe Castiglione. Lack of Misogyny (2:26:00) addresses Bobby's light moment of misogyny, balancing the film's intent with lack of full female characters. They also discuss the film's view of male friendship and male loneliness. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:36:26) Six Degrees of Baseball (2:40:49) Favorite Moment (2:41:10) Least Favorite Moment (2:45:50) Scene We'd Like to See (2:46:01) Dreamiest Player (2:48:20) Favorite Performance (2:49:40).

Johnny Mize is the answer to one of baseball's great trivia questions. You have to listen to find out what it is, but trust me, it's one of Major League Baseball's great statistics, something not even legends such as Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, or Willie Mays can lay claim to. Mize had a terrific eye at the plate, especially for a power hitter. For his career, he hit 359 homeruns, had a career batting average of .312, and a career OPS of .959. Yet, one could argue, his career was overlooked. This could be because when he played for the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants, neither team made it to the post-season. Plus, Mize missed three of his prime years when he served during World War II in 1943, 1944, and 1945. The "Big Cat's" most notable years, however, just might have been the final five when he moved into a part-time role with the New York Yankees and he contributed to one of the game's greatest dynasties when the Bronx Bombers won five straight World Series, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, I take a look back at the career of Johnny Mize with special guest Jerry Grillo who wrote the book, "Big Cat, The Life of Baseball Hall of Famer Jonny Mize."

Pat Boyle is sleeping in the newsroom and we have a big client coming through. The Yankees were shutout by the Guardians, 4-0. Rick Pitino was at the Yankee game and talked about watching Aaron Judge, ‘a Babe Ruth type baseball player'. Pitino was also on BT & Sal and was shocked by Thibs firing. We heard from Adam Schein on the Thibs firing. Chris Russo was screaming about the firing as well. He also called Leon Rose, ‘Leon Hess'.

In this series, Jeff and Andy look at historical events that took place on this day.Today in history, a tragedy strikes at the Cincinnati Zoo, Babe Ruth gets overtaken on the all time Home Runs list, and the “Empress of Soul” is born.This series is brought to you by the great Boss Shot Shells.

As the United States nears its 250th anniversary, I'm joined by Jeffrey Anderson—President and Founder of American Main Street Initiative—who has a powerful message on the importance of celebrating our nation's history and its heroes. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Beam - Visit https://shopbeam.com/KLAVAN and use code KLAVAN to get our exclusive discount of up to 40% off.
