It's Mighty Monday, and Ryan is here to take us back to the diamond with one of our favorite films: The Sandlot.ABOUT THE SANDLOTIn the summer of 1962, a new kid in town is taken under the wing of a young baseball prodigy and his rowdy team, resulting in many adventures.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR THE SANDLOTApril 7, 1993 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF THE SANDLOTTom Guiry as Scott “Scotty” SmallsMike Vitar as Benjamin “Benny the Jet” RodriguezPatrick Renna as Hamilton “Ham” PorterChauncey Leopardi as Michael “Squints” PalledorousMarty York as Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennanBrandon Quintin Adams as Kenny “The Heater” DeNunezGrant Gelt as Bertram Grover WeeksShane Obedzinski as Tommy “Repeat” TimmonsVictor DiMattia as Timmy TimmonsJames Earl Jones as Mr. Mertle (and “the Beast” guardian)Directed & written by David Mickey EvansBRAN'S THE SANDLOT SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a narrator telling us about Babe Ruth calling his shot as an announcer gets ready to call a baseball game.Flash back to that guy as a kid. Scotty Smalls moves to the San Fernando Valley with his mom and stepdad, Bill. He doesn't have any friends, so he asks Bill to teach him how to play baseball. Bill puts his prized possession on the mantel—a signed Babe Ruth baseball.The next day, Scotty runs to the nearby baseball field to see if he can make some friends. A fly ball comes right to him, and it doesn't go well. As he fumbles for the ball, he's terrified by this… Beast… on the other side of the fence. The kids give him a hard time for not knowing how to throw or catch. Scotty goes home, asks Bill to teach him again, and ends up with a black eye.The next day, despite the other kids not wanting him to play, the team's best player, Benny, says they should give him a shot because they need a full team. Benny teaches him to throw and catch, and soon Scotty starts to fit in.One day, Ham smacks a home run into the Beast's yard. When Smalls asks about the Beast, the boys hold a sleepover and share the legend of the terrifying dog who lives beyond the fence.The boys become best friends and do best friend stuff—like hanging out at the pool and celebrating the Fourth of July. But at the end of the day, it all comes back to baseball.One afternoon, Benny absolutely crushes their only ball. With Bill out of town, Smalls thinks he's got the solution: he'll grab the one from the mantel. What Smalls doesn't realize is that the ball is signed by Babe Ruth. When he hits his first home run with it, he proudly tells the guys it was signed by “some girl named Ruth.” They freak out once they realize what he's done.The boys quickly forge Babe Ruth's signature on a new ball as a temporary replacement while they try to get the real one back. But the Beast doesn't make it easy.After a dream where Babe Ruth himself tells Benny about being a legend, Benny decides to take matters into his own hands. He hops the fence. The dog—who turns out to just be a big, playful pup—chases Benny all around town. Eventually, Benny makes it back, but the Beast crashes through the fence and gets stuck. Scotty and Benny free him, and the dog gratefully licks Smalls' face before leading them to his stash of baseballs.The boys meet Mr. Mertle, the Beast's owner, and are shocked to learn that he knew Babe Ruth personally. Mr. Mertle gives Smalls a ball signed by the entire 1927 Yankees in exchange for weekly baseball chats.The gang eventually grows up and goes their separate ways. Smalls? He's revealed to be the sports commentator from the beginning, still best friends with Benny, who goes on to play for the Dodgers.

BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season by Thomas Wolf (University of Nebraska Press, September 1, 2025) Quick recap The discussion between Brian and Tom Wolf centered on Wolf's new book about the 1926 baseball season, which explored notable players like Babe Ruth and the competitive dynamics between teams that year. The conversation delved into the broader sports landscape of the 1920s, including the rise of different sports and the challenges faced by black baseball players during this era. The discussion concluded with an examination of key figures in baseball history, including Rube Foster's role in forming the Negro Leagues and the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker. 1926 Baseball Season Highlights Tom Wolf discussed his new book, BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES, focusing on the 1926 season, which he selected for research related to his previous book, The Called Shot: Babe Ruth, the Chicago Cubs, and the Unforgettable Major League Baseball Season of 1932 (Nebraska, 2020). He highlighted the compelling nature of the 1926 season, which featured notable players like Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, and explored their rivalry despite never playing against each other in the same league. Tom noted that the season's dynamics, including the Yankees' and Cardinals' intense competition, made it particularly interesting. The discussion focused on the 1926 baseball season, particularly the dramatic career turnaround of Babe Ruth, who went from a poor 1925 season to lead the Yankees to first place in 1926, marking the beginning of his second-half career dominance. The conversation also explored the broader context of 1920s sports, including the rise of college football, boxing, and horse racing, as well as the emergence of the Negro Leagues and the challenges faced by black baseball players during that era. The discussion highlighted how the Black Sox scandal and Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis's opposition to integration effectively halted the progress toward racial integration in baseball, despite early efforts by managers like John McGraw and Connie Mack to sign black players. Rube Foster's Vision for Integration The discussion focused on Rube Foster, a pivotal figure in the formation of the Negro Leagues in 1920, and his vision for integrating baseball. Foster's health crisis in 1926 led to his decline and eventual death. Still, his legacy includes the first colored World Series in 1924 and an 11-game World Series between the Chicago American Giants and the Atlantic City Giants. The conversation explored Foster's ultimate goal of integrating the major leagues, which began to happen with Jackie Robinson in 1948, and his proposal for exhibition games between Negro League teams and Major League teams, which was rejected by MLB owners concerned about the impact of integration on their bottom line. 1919 Black Sox Scandal Investigation Brian and Tom discussed the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, which Dutch Leonard claimed was a fixed game in 1919. They explored the history of the scandal, including Cobb and Speaker's retirements under pressure from Commissioner Landis, as well as the $20,000 in hush money paid to Leonard by Ban Johnson. The conversation highlighted the complex relationships and power dynamics between baseball executives and players during this period. 1926 Baseball Rivalry Insights The discussion turned to the rivalry between the American League and the National League. Tom and Brian explored the careers of several legendary players, the 1927 Yankees' dominance, and Babe Ruth's controversial stolen base attempt in the 1926 World Series. They also discussed the different styles and strategies of the two leagues, emphasizing the historical significance of the World Series when the leagues were more distinct in their approaches. # # # Ready for insights reserved for serious listeners only?

Sal and BT ripped into the Mets following another pathetic performance, agreeing the team is imploding rather than simply collapsing due to a devastating lack of reliable starting pitching. With Clay Holmes' egregious mental error underscoring a season of fundamental breakdowns and Richard Lovelady pitching in high-leverage spots, they contend GM David Stearns is culpable for his "F" of a season and philosophical aversion to high-end pitching contracts, but the veteran players like Senga, Manaea, and Peterson have also completely failed to perform. The segment pivoted when discussing Aaron Judge's 50+ home run season, which led to a fiery rant arguing that the records set during the Steroid Era should be removed from historical context to prevent unfair comparisons with clean players like Judge and Babe Ruth.

This is a one-off pre-recorded episode. PSA 10 vs PSA 9 isn't what you think. Patrick Ryan (P. Ryan Collection / Uncut Cardboard) breaks down phantom POPs, crack-and-cross risks, and why eye appeal often beats the number on the label, plus how he's reshaping his collection around story and provenance. We cover: Origins & early wins: 1988 Topps start, autograph chasing in Houston, Giannis and Luka moves that funded vintage icons. The multi-sport autograph grail: completing a single piece signed by Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Lionel Messi, and Tom Brady — and how it changed his curation. Provenance in practice: the 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson that moved from Patrick to Jeremy, and why public provenance matters. The 100-card case, evolved: why Patrick is shrinking to a ~25-item core and prioritizing rarer pieces with better stories. Grading realities: PSA 10 vs 9 vs 8 deltas, resubmissions, “phantom population,” standard drift, and practical buying cautions. Slab choices by use case: PSA, BGS, SGC, TAG, CGC — clarity, stackability, presentation. Modern vs vintage: lower technical grades with elite eye appeal as a value unlock. Patches & game-used: rookie photo-shoot vs second-year game-used and why disclosures matter. Collector/Investor: funding the next PC piece without losing the soul of the collection. Buyer beware: undersized cards, authentic-altered labels, and documentation gaps.

BT and Sal vented their frustration over how the Steroid Era has tainted Aaron Judge's latest achievement of reaching 50 home runs for the fourth time in his career, a mark only previously reached by Babe Ruth, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The hosts argued that by including Sosa and McGwire, whose numbers are linked to performance-enhancing drugs, MLB is unfairly diluting Judge and Ruth's honest accomplishments. They demanded that baseball stop acknowledging the "cheaters" in historical contexts, as it clouds the impressive nature of Judge's clean-slate success and sends a confusing message to new generations of fans.

Adventures of Babe Ruth 13 Feud with Tim Daily, Ump

Babe Ruth backs the attack as Babe Ruth gets married, but to a guy named H.C., not a former model named Claire. Cal Raleigh goes on a rampage and Mickey Mantle finishes 1961 quietly, but why did the latter happen and what can we learn from the way he and Billy Martin lived their lives? 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?

The fallout from the 1919 World Series gambling scandal rocked the baseball world when the affair broke into the public's view late in the 1920 season. Just when baseball emerged from that threat, two of baseball's biggest stars, Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, found themselves immersed in betting scandal arising from a seemingly meaningless game late in the 1919 season. The scandal led to acrimony, finger-pointing and three major resignations. Ultimately, the two stars were cleared and they returned to baseball in 1927, but the reverberations were felt for years to come. Naturally, Babe Ruth figures in the story as wellDan Taylor, the voice of the Fresno Grizzlies, wrote "Baseball at the Abyss: The Scandals of 1926, Babe Ruth, and the Unlikely Savior Who Rescued a Tarnished Game" (Rowman & Littlefield 2023) about the scandal and the stars put under the spotlight. Taylor joins us this week to talk about gambling in baseball, which has emerged the last two seasons as an on-going challenge for the sport.Dan Taylor on Twitter (https://x.com/WritinGuy)Please consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

The University of Nebraska Press is proud to announce the publication of Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season by Thomas Wolf, author of The Called Shot: Babe Ruth, the Chicago Cubs, and the Unforgettable Major League Baseball Season of 1932 (Nebraska, 2020), finalist for the Seymour Medal from the Society for American Baseball Research; and coauthor, with Patricia Bryan, of Midnight Assassin: A Murder in America's Heartland.In 1926 baseball stars of an earlier era still played major roles in the game: Veteran pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander was the hero of the 1926 World Series; Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker faced explosive allegations of game-fixing; Babe Ruth's mysterious illness and dismal 1925 season convinced many observers that Ruth was finished—over the hill. Meanwhile, new stars like Tony Lazzeri and Lou Gehrig had arrived on the scene, and the Negro Leagues were at the height of their popularity and success with Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants winning the Colored World Series of 1926. One of America's most ardent fans cheered from the White House—not the taciturn president, Calvin Coolidge, but his vibrant and well-liked wife, Grace.#yankees #cardinals #stlouiscardinals #baseball #newyorkyankees #1920s

1926 was one of the most dynamic and exciting seasons in baseball history, featuring legends like Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and Ty Cobb. It saw a gambling scandal involving two of the greatest players in baseball history, a mid-season acquisition that changed the history of a franchise, and a parallel season in the Negro Leagues with some of the all time greats in Black Baseball history. And it all ended with an epic seven game World Series between the Yankees and the Cardinals. Author Tom Wolf joins us to talk about his book, "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season".

So what does the science say about trans people and sports? You're not gonna believe this (yes you will), but it's entirely on the side of... trans people. So are elite cis women athletes. So what's the reason behind this push to keep trans women out of women's sports? Bigotry! And yes, we have proof (they've actually admitted it). Also a whole lot of sexism and the belief cis men are simply the best at everything and get super mad when they're not (there's proof of this too). Zoe Aurora Slater, former trainer of competing powerlifters and bodybuilders, returns to discuss the physics of photography and straight hesitancy. Be open to finding yourself along the way, friends.

Few writers have illuminated baseball's legends with the depth, rigor, and heart of renowned sports journalist and author Jane Leavy.  From Sandy Koufax to Mickey Mantle to Babe Ruth, her biographies of the game's greatest figures don't just recount their lives — they reveal the eras each helped to define. Now, with her new book Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It, Leavy turns her sharp eye and seasoned reporting toward the sport itself, asking what's broken, what's worth preserving, and how its lost magic might be restored. In this episode, we sit down with Leavy for a wide-ranging conversation that blends her unparalleled knowledge of baseball history with a candid assessment of its present challenges — analytics overload, youth development crises, dwindling diversity, and the struggle to balance spectacle with spontaneity. She also shares her imaginative, sometimes provocative, ideas for how the game could evolve in the years ahead. For longtime fans, casual observers, and anyone who cares about the soul of America's pastime, this episode delivers a masterclass in baseball storytelling — and a glimpse into the possible futures of the game from one of its finest chroniclers.  PLUS: Your chance to win a copy of "Make Me Commissioner"! + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It": https://amzn.to/4paR6iX SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

Host Brenden Escott explores the fascinating history of nicknames — from their origins in medieval “eke-names” to the way they've defined leaders, legends, and athletes across centuries. The conversation traces how nicknames shifted from practical labels to cultural storytelling, with famous examples like Alexander the Great, Ivan the Terrible and Richard the Lionheart. Then, the focus turns to sports: how nicknames evolved from locker-room jokes to media branding to fan-driven social media creations, with iconic cases like Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky's “The Great One,” and Giannis Antetokounmpo's “Greek Freak.” A lively deep dive into why nicknames stick, what they reveal about identity and how they shape the way we remember history and sports.

How come baseball, that most American of games, is even more popular in Japan than in its home country?  It's a story with roots into the nineteenth century, as Arion, Olly and Rebecca discover while  they investigate the events of September 1st, 1964, when the San Francisco Giants introduced their newest player, Masanori Murakami, during a game against the New York Mets: the first Japanese player in Major League Baseball. His remarkable composure earned him a standing ovation at Shea Stadium. What made this even more impressive was the fact that Murakami had only signed his contract a few hours before - after the Giants found a Japanese translator to ensure he understood what he was agreeing to.  The Retrospectors explain how Murakami's journey to the Major Leagues was almost accidental; discover how an American educator caught a wave of openness in Japan to establish baseball as a martial sport; and reveal why ‘Banzai' Babe Ruth felt personally betrayed by Pearl Harbor…  Further Reading: • ‘How MLB's First Japanese Player Made it to Big Leagues' (HISTORY, 2021): https://www.history.com/news/masanori-murakami-first-japanese-major-league-baseball-player • ‘Opinion | Banzai Babe Ruth: Baseball, Espionage, & Assassination During the 1934 Tour of Japan” by Robert K.

In part four of the Sports Cards Live stream from Saturday, August 23, 2025, the Jordan–Kobe Dual Logoman Exquisite Autograph surges past the $10 million mark live on air, ultimately climbing toward its record-breaking $12M+ finish. Jeremy, Brent Weyer, and Chris McGill track the drama in real time, unpacking what the sale means for grading, rarity, and the psychology of high-stakes bidding. The discussion ranges from the legitimacy of “manufactured rarity” to whether grade even matters for a one-of-one grail. The panel also wrestles with a central hobby question: if Michael Jordan is clearly No. 1, who is No. 2? Names like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tom Brady are all debated as the community weighs legacy, market caps, and cultural impact. Highlights include: The Jordan–Kobe Logoman breaking into 8-figure territory live on Sports Cards Live Manufactured rarity vs. organic rarity in the hobby Does grade matter at all for one-of-ones? Ego, status, and trophy bidding in high-end auctions The debate over who ranks No. 2 after Michael Jordan — Mantle, Ruth, LeBron, Kobe, Brady, or someone else? Shaq's surprising hobby index strength and whether undervalued stars ever catch up This was one of the most electric hobby nights in recent memory — and Sports Cards Live was right there with the audience as history unfolded.
