"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run." — Babe Ruth

The Famous San Diego Chicken is the Babe Ruth of sports mascots.  During this 39 minute interview, you’ll better understand how the genius of Ted Giannoulas has forever changed our ball park experience.

"You just can't beat the person who never gives up." — Babe Ruth

A Scottish cult hero. A seven-minute pseudo-electronic epic. A song literally called “Gang Bang.” This episode dives into Next (1973) by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a glam-adjacent, piano-driven, theatrical rock album that turned Cleveland into a true-believer city while barely registering anywhere else. If you've ever wondered how a band could sound like AC/DC fronted by a cabaret singer, this one's for you.The conversation unpacks how Next won a community poll over Santana, Mountain, and Babe Ruth, then zooms into what makes this record so strange and so compelling: Alex Harvey's gravelly, Bon Scott–adjacent vocal sneer; Hugh McKenna's barroom piano at the center of the mix; Zal Cleminson's clown-faced guitar theatrics; and a tracklist that veers from swampy 70s glam rock to French-tango whorehouse drama to 50s sock-hop pastiche. The hosts dig into the band's ties to Cleveland's WMMS, the album's inclusion in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and why “The Faith Healer” feels like a proto-electronic blueprint hiding inside a 70s hard rock record.Along the way, they wrestle with whether Next is a fully realized album or a brilliantly messy collision of pub-rock instincts and art-rock ambition. Is this bar-band filler padded with covers, or the sound of a band inventing a theatrical rock universe on the fly? If you're into Alice Cooper (early band era), Slade, Mott the Hoople, AC/DC's Bon Scott years, or even the weirder corners of 70s glam and proto-metal, this episode will hit that sweet spot between grit, camp, and cult.Episode Highlights:- 0:00 – Swampsnake (intro clip) – Setting the scene with the swampy, bluesy glam groove that defines the album's tone and why this 70s poll got “weird in the best way.”- 1:40 – The 70s album poll – Santana, Mountain, Babe Ruth, and why the community rallied hard behind the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.- 7:40 – Cleveland adopts a Scottish band – WMMS, the Agora, and how Next became a regional obsession that most of America never knew existed.- 15:16 – Album backstory – Vertigo Records, Phil Wainman's production, Tear Gas origins, and how a late-30s Alex Harvey ends up making this wild second album.- 22:02 – Glam, grit, and piano – How the Bon Scott–style vocal snarl, barrelhouse piano, and theatrical arrangements hold the chaos together.- 27:27 – First-listen confusion – From glam rock to 50s throwback to French chanson: why Next doesn't make sense until you've lived in it for a few spins.- 30:05 – “Next” (track) – The Jacques Brel cover as French-tango whorehouse showpiece, Casablanca vibes, and the album's most overtly theatrical moment.- 32:14 – “Vambo Marble Eye” – Bo Diddley groove, wah-drenched guitar nastiness, and the band's most swaggering barroom-meets-art-rock blend.- 33:40 – “The Faith Healer” – Seven minutes of loops, Moog textures, and slow-build arrangement that feels like a prototype for later electronic and industrial music.- 34:37 – Rocky Horror energy – Why Next feels like an alternate soundtrack to a 70s midnight movie musical.- 36:42 – What doesn't work? – The “pub-rock reflex”: “Giddy Up a Ding Dong” as sock-hop filler and the tension between bar band roots and art-rock ambition.- 40:35 – “Gang Bang” – Explicit lyrics, 70s shock value, consent, and how this track compares to hair metal's sleazier moments.- 46:44 – Is this an album, EP, or chaos? – Final verdicts: worthy album vs. killer four-song EP, and which tracks make the cut.- 49:45 – For fans of… – Framing SAHB alongside Alice Cooper, Slade, Jake E. Lee–era party rock, and theatrical 70s glam for modern listeners.- 54:49 – How to dig deeper – Box-set rumors, the Framed/Next CD pairing, and why this is a band you probably had to see live.If you love 70s glam rock, proto-metal, theatrical rock, and cult classic albums that sit somewhere between barroom grit and art-school weirdness, this episode is for you.

Before Cy Young, before Babe Ruth, before baseball even had a strike zone, there was Jim Creighton — a 21-year-old phenom whose brilliance and tragic death helped create the modern game. This week, we explore the extraordinary life, myth, and enduring legacy of baseball's first true superstar through a revealing conversation with historian Tom Gilbert, author of the new biography "Death in the Strike Zone: The Mystery of America's First Baseball Hero." In the late 1850s and early 1860s, baseball was still a recreational pastime dominated by offense. Pitchers merely delivered the ball gently, and games could spiral into chaotic, high-scoring affairs. Creighton changed everything. Pitching for Brooklyn's powerhouse Excelsior club, he pioneered speed, movement, and deception — transforming pitching into a weapon rather than a formality. His dominance forced opponents to rethink strategy, and ultimately pushed baseball's rulemakers to introduce called strikes and formalize the strike zone, forever reshaping the sport's competitive balance.  Yet Creighton's meteoric rise was as brief as it was influential. In 1862, at the height of his fame, he suffered a catastrophic abdominal injury — likely worsened by the extreme physical demands of his revolutionary pitching style — and died just days later at age 21. His death stunned the sporting world and elevated him into baseball's first martyr-figure, a symbol of both the promise and peril of a game still inventing itself.  Gilbert, whose award-winning 2020 book "How Baseball Happened" reframed the chaotic, colorful origins of America's pastime, explains how Creighton's innovations accelerated baseball's evolution from amateur hobby to organized spectacle — and how myth, memory, and historical detective work have shaped Creighton's legend (yet not enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame) ever since. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOKS:  "Death in the Strike Zone: The Mystery of America's First Baseball Hero": https://amzn.to/4aYCWvc "How Baseball Happened: Outrageous Lies Exposed!

Spring Training has marked the end of winter in Florida for more than 100 years. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Greg Maddux, and today's stars have begun their legendary seasons and careers in places like Sarasota, Dunedin, Vero Beach, and Clearwater.On this episode, longtime southwest Florida newspaperman Glenn Miller, who's attended spring training games since the 1960s and covered the games since the 1980s, joins us to discuss Spring Training's history and characters in Florida. Pinch hitting for regular co-host Chadd Scott is his wife, sports reporter, podcaster, author, baseball fan, and annual spring training in Florida attendee, Kristi Dosh.

Red writes "On August 17th, 2023, I was camping with a close friend In Stephen's state forest in south central Iowa, not far from the Missouri border. It is very remote for the Midwest in that area. There are no electrical lines in this particular forest, so no lights. My friend and I got into the forest at dusk and set up camp. We saw no vehicles as we drove through the forest and the campsite we stayed at was completely empty. Twenty minutes or so after setting up camp, we heard an incredibly loud sound from the northwest corner of the camp. It was so loud it made us both jump and all of my hair immediately stood on end. The sound was like a howler monkey whooping, but it sounded like it was the size of a minivan. Immediately after this, about 150 feet south of us in the tree line, another noise happened. It sounded like Babe Ruth was in the forest slamming a bat against a tree. There were 6 whacks or knocks. They came in 3 successions of twos. Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock. That night we got chased out of the campsite by 3 or 4 of these creatures. It kept me out of the woods for a long time. I would love to tell you the whole experience."

Andy Strasberg, a baseball historian and author, discusses his latest book, Strasberg's Baseball Klediment Tales.  Strasberg shares stories about his favorite baseball memorabilia, that includes the bat that New York Yankees outfielder Roger Maris used to hit his 61st home run in 1961, breaking the longstanding record of 60 by Babe Ruth. He recounts his first baseball game experience at the Polo Grounds and his involvement in Billy Crystal's movie "61*" as a technical consultant. Strasberg chats about his long-standing relationship with the Maris family and his dedication to preserving baseball history. About Spotlight and Cloudcast Media  "Spotlight On The Community" is the longest running community podcast in the country, continuously hosted by Drew Schlosberg for 20 years.  "Spotlight" is part of Cloudcast Media's line-up of powerful local podcasts, telling the stories, highlighting the people, and celebrating the gravitational power of local.   For more information on Cloudcast and its shows and cities served, please visit www.cloudcastmedia.us.

You don't get home runs without strikeouts. The real question is whether you're swinging to win or playing not to lose. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor pulls a powerful lesson from baseball legend Babe Ruth and challenges how we approach risk, confidence, and validation in our own lives. Babe Ruth didn't just set the home run record in 1923. He also set the strikeout record. While most people focus on avoiding failure, Ruth understood something deeper. Every strikeout meant he was still swinging. Still showing up. Still taking shots that mattered. Baylor breaks down the difference between stepping up to the plate trying to score versus stepping up just hoping nothing goes wrong. One mindset produces greatness. The other produces safe, forgettable results. Too many people let fear of boos stop them from swinging altogether. They worry about judgment, criticism, and looking foolish, so they play timid. But the crowd will cheer and boo no matter what. Validation is inconsistent. Confidence has to be internal. In life, one home run can change everything. One idea. One opportunity. One bold decision. But it only happens if you're willing to accept strikeouts along the way. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why playing defense in life leads to small results How Babe Ruth reframed failure as progress The danger of seeking validation from the crowd Why fear of boos stops people from taking big swings How confidence is built by action, not approval Why one win can outweigh dozens of losses Featured Quote "Every strikeout gets me closer to my next home run."

Rookie pitcher Connelly Early, who impressed last season with 11 strikeouts in his MLB debut & became the youngest Red Sox to start a playoff game since Babe Ruth, aims for a rotation spot this year.

Since the time of it's opening over 100 years ago, Old Yankees Stadium housed the most prolific team in all of American team sport, and some of the games brightest stars. The Yankees did not have an auspicious beginning to their franchise. They were originally nicknamed the Highlanders, and from 1903-1915, they never won a World Series and they had losing seasons in 8 of 13 years. All that changes when the rebranded Yankees buy Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox in 1919. At this time they are sharing the Polo Grounds with their landlord, the New York Giants, and with the star-power of Ruth, they routinely outdraw their inter-city rivals in their own crib. Yankees owner Jacob Rupert realizes that his superstar slugger needs a stadium of his own. After scouting areas throughout New York City, Rupert decides to build his cathedral in the Bronx, just a long fly ball over the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds. After Babe hits the first home-run in Yankees Stadium History in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox, sports writer Fred Lieb dubbed the new structure, The House That Ruth Built; a moniker that would last throughout it's 85 year history. This week we chronicle the construction, history, moments and all the legendary players who called the stadium home, and the indelible mark they left behind in baseball history. #YankeesStadium #TheHouseThatRuthBuilt #JacobRuppert #BabeRuth #JohnMcGraw #DeathValley #FredLieb #GeorgeSteinbrenner #MonumentPark #OldTimersGame #BronxNewYork

Siamo all'ultimo Inning per Babe Ruth, il tramonto dell'eroe, dell'Ercole Americano. Tutto ciò che sale, prima o poi scende e il Bambino ha chiesto troppo al suo fisico, anni di esagerazioni lo hanno minato e all'ultimo, il mondo del baseball gli volta le spalle perché Babe Ruth ha dimostrato che non ci si può fidare di lui. Ma ormai è entrato nella leggenda e il suo nome riecheggia ancora oggi, a metà tra il mito e la persona scomoda. ------ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vitescomode.podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Supporta i nostri podcast su Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcomedy⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Charles Ponzi's remarkable rise and fall played out over the course of a wild eight month period. He went from being a failed importer-exporter mired in debt to Boston's most talked about self-made millionaire in a matter of weeks. After rebranding his company as the Securities Exchange Company, Ponzi started offering remarkable 50% returns to investors after only 90 days. But almost immediately Ponzi's plan to use postal coupons to game international exchange rates became impractical. But, instead of grabbing as much cash as he could and making a dash, Ponzi believed he could transform his scam into a legitimate business. Was Ponzi ever really serious about going straight? Tune-in and find out how the America's nation menace, Babe Ruth, and guy named Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford all play a role in the story.Join us in Greece in 2026!

Babe Ruth, è cresciuto, è diventato il Re dei Fuoricampo. Ma fuori dal campo di baseball si accumulano i problemi che poi, entrano anche in campo.

Ma Il Bambino è il più forte di tutti e su di lui vengono costruite una serie di leggende che durano tutt'ora. ------ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vitescomode.podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Supporta i nostri podcast su Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcomedy⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47  Hey, Be It babe, happy January 16. Fuck yeah, Friday. Oh my god, we made it. We're here. We've got wins to share. We've got inspo to share. We've got an affirmation to mull over. We are ready to kick off your weekend. Do you remember like the TGIF? Oh my god, I lived for TGIF. I lived for the Full House. A step by step. I could still sing the songs in my head, not out loud, you know. And you're like, I know the words, but like, I can only hear them in my head, and not out loud. Gosh. Then there was Family Matters. Loved Family Matters. And then there was a fourth show. I feel like I didn't love the fourth show in those two hours, but anyways, so freaking great every Friday, and that's what this episode really is to be. It's like a TGIF. Who knows? Maybe that's what it becomes. Lesley Logan 1:26  Anyways, still want to celebrate your wins, because I want you to with all that ish that goes on. You are still making magic happen. Sometimes that magic feels really small, sometimes it feels really big, and we have to celebrate all of them. Okay, so this inspired me. Oh, my God, this it's from her wiki org in 1937 a 23-year-old woman fleeing her Nazi arms dealer husband, Friedrich Mandel boarded a train to London at that moment, no one could have foreseen that within just five years, she would develop war technology that would revolutionize the lives of billions of people, both living and yet to be born. That woman was Hedy Lamarr. According to the prevailing patriarchy, Hedy Lamarr wasn't supposed to be an inventor. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, a Hollywood icon. She's stunning, you guys like, gosh, her brows, her lashes, like everything. And her job was to entertain the men of her time. But behind the glamor, she was something else, a scientific genius, and she's about to change the world forever. Born in Austria in 1914, Hedy was a child prodigy. She took apart machines for fun. She could reassemble a music box at five. By her teen, she was obsessed with engineering and physics, but her life took a different turn. At 19, she married a powerful arms dealer, a man who sold weapons to Hitler. She sat through meetings with military scientists. She listened, took notes, learned everything, and realized the kind of man she married. She ran. She escaped Austria, disguised as a maid. She fled to Paris, then London, then Hollywood. She reinvented herself as a movie star, but while the world saw a glamorous actress behind closed doors, she was designing war technology. In World War Two, Hedy learned that the Nazi submarines were sinking ships. Torpedoes were guided by radio signals. But there was a problem, enemies could jam the signal and send torpedoes off course, she had an idea. She designed a secret communication system, one that could jump between radio frequencies, making it impossible for enemies to block. She partnered with a composer to create it using piano rolls as a model for frequency hopping. It was brilliant. In 1942 she patented the invention. She took it to the US Navy, and what did they say? Go entertain the troops sweetheart, or try selling war bonds. They ignored her, filed her work away, never used it. Decades later, her invention was rediscovered, and it became the foundation of Wi Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Her ideas, her idea powers the entire modern world and the very same devices and technology men use to slander women and spread their misogynistic views. And she got nothing for it.Lesley Logan 3:53  There is some beautiful pictures of her doing stuff with the war you guys. It's worth looking at the post. She never made a single dollar from her patent, but by the time the world realized what she had done, she was old, broke and forgotten. The men who used her invention, well, they made millions. They also sidelined her from Hollywood, which forced her to go to Italy and pursue film production there. She invested all of her life savings to produce Love of Three Queens in which she also played multiple roles. What a cool woman. It was originally supposed to be a series of 39 half hour plays, but about the love affairs of famous women throughout history, but later pivoted to a full a film with only three of the original plays. The film was a massive flop, and Hedy ended up losing her entire life savings, which totaled to millions of dollars, and went back to America right after Hedy Lamarr died on January 19th, 2000 she wasn't just a Hollywood star. She was a brilliant scientist who never got credit, a woman whose genius was buried under her beauty. She changed the world, but history only remembers her face and even that very vaguely. So, Hedy Lamarr, genius, inventor, actress, the woman, the myth, the legend. I really am obsessed with that information. Do you feel like? I don't know? Like, the more you learn, the more you're like, wow. they just try to keep information from me. You know? They try to tell us different stories about history. They tried to make it seem like this happened, when this happened, or it's just all marketing, right? And I love that she just kept going. And I am sad that she died in the way that she did, but I really do love that she that she was a curious human and that she was thinking about ways to solve problems. And I loved her ballsiness that even, like, even at that time, I'm sure she knew they weren't going to listen to her, but she did it anyways. And I just think that, like sometimes we can get obsessed with a project we're working on and think, Well, I failed because it didn't work, it didn't sell, but you became someone along the way of working on that thing that didn't work in the way you wanted, and she didn't get the credit that she deserved. But all of us have more opportunities because of her, and so because of her, we should keep going. We should keep going. We should keep taking things on. We should keep challenging ourselves. We should keep learning. We can get kicked down, and we should get back up again and try again and not and most things won't be a success. Lesley Logan 6:08  Okay. I saw something I don't think I saved it to share with you, but it was just like, just the percentage of balls that, like, weren't home runs that Babe Ruth did, and just the percentage of like, flops this person had versus like, how many awards they had. And we tend to only think about and celebrate like the Oscar win, but we don't like we don't go, oh my god, they only have one Oscar win, and they've done 300 movies. We never do that. So because we never do that for other people, we shouldn't do that for ourselves. We must celebrate some wins. So you can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions beitpod.com/questions and that's where wins go as well, and where our team will mark it as a question or a win, if it's a question we'll answer on Thursdays, if it's when we'll celebrate you here. And so our win today is from Miss Jordan Bebee and her win is big win this week. I have neglected using my Wunda Chair for quite a while now, so I decided it was time to break out my Wunda Chair flash cards. I started working through the order with whatever bits of time I had available each day, starting from the top of the deck each day to get the repetition. Whoa, that's so fun. By the time I got into my second week, I started feeling connected to my body that the week previous, I couldn't have dreamed of. Exercises that felt impossible to move were actually moving. But even better, I felt more connected to myself. Super excited to add my Chair back into my regular rotation. Thanks, LL, for the amazing flash cards. What a freaking cool way to do that. I am just so obsessed with how you all figure out ways to use these Chair cards and like, what a win you have. Like, I like, you're like, Okay, this is the start of the deck, and the chair has no order, so you just do whatever. And you go, like, went through and you started at the beginning. I love that. And you just were like, okay, I ran out of time. Oh, I have time for adding more cards. And the thing is, is that as you use them more, you have more time, you know, you can do more exercises in the same amount of time, because you start to remember what the card was and the exercise was. And of course, you're having more connections because it's consistency. And your body wants to move. Your body wants to move. A body motion says, Jordan, I'm obsessed with you, and this win. Thank you so much for letting us celebrate with you. Lesley Logan 8:08  All right, my win. So I'm home, I'm home for a while, and no, my win so my win is I'm home, but my my win is I actually took a wonderful vacation Brad and I did in Palm Springs. It's kind of a tradition after the tour, I guess we could take a vacation anywhere. But Palm Springs is really fun because you can lay by the pool, like, just and it's so fun you guys just to get so bored. Like, I bring out two or three books that way, if I get bored of one book, I have another book, and I just lay under a cabana. I'm not even out in the sun. I'm just like, outside near pool. I don't even sometimes get in the pool. I just, like, lay out there and, you know, order food and drink and just lay until I'm so bored that I'm like, okay, we should go into town and do something. Like, we should go do that. Ah, it's the best. Was the best. And so, you know, it's, it's interesting. Like, sometimes it's hard to like, rest and relax when, like, there's just so much going on that you think that you should be doing something. And the reality is, is like, we are no good to anyone tired. We are no good to any effort, tired and exhausted. And so I'm just really grateful. The other thing that I will share, like, I plan these things in advance. It's very helpful, because I'm someone like, have you ever, like, said yes to something two months in advance, and it gets here you're like, oh, why did I say yes to that? Because your, your past self knew you needed it, and the reason you're tired and don't want to go is because you you need to go do the thing that will refill your cup. At the party or the, you know, the dinner with the friend or the spa date or the massage, like your past self knew your future self needed it. And so I typically lean into that, because it's like, well, it's two months ago. I thought this was gonna be a really good idea. So let's just see what happens. I can always leave, right? So anyways, we just use those amazing points. That's why you have them, and just took some time and that, that's just the win I have. So see how a win can just be sitting down and getting bored. I want that for you, too. I want that for you. So let us know if you did. Send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions. Lesley Logan 10:11  All right. Um, I this is your affirmation, and then you can take on your amazing weekend. Go kick some ass. I deserve self-respect and a clean space. I deserve self-respect and a clean space. I deserve self-respect and a clean space, and I just want to take that clean space. Please don't be the person who's always cleaning your space, okay? Other people have to respect the space that you probably cleaned already and then they dirtied. So a clean space doesn't mean you clean your desk and then you get your work done. Nope, nope, nope. That's procrastination towards perfection. No, meaning that like people, you deserve self-respect, and people deserve to keep like your area around you that you did so well attending to make sure that they don't get to piss on it. So, demand it and delegate. And people can do they they'll do it differently than you, but they can still do it so that you can be you and not be busying cleaning up after all these other people. So, love you all so much. Until next time, Be It Till you see it. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it, please. It helps this podcast grow.

Babe Ruth, il Bambino di Baltimora è unanimamente riconosciuto come l'uomo che ha cambiato lo sport, il baseball, una leggenda americana.

Jim is joined by baseball writer at MLB.com Manny Randhawa to break down the HOF candidacy of Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. First, Manny and Jim cover how Tulowitzki is one of the biggest "what if" guys of the 21st Century (15:55). Next, they discuss what only Babe Ruth and Tulowitzki have in common and ranks Tulowitzki among shortstops of the last 25 years (26:40). Finally, Manny and Jim debate just how great Tulowitzki's peak really was (45:14), before making a final call on whether or not they believe Tulowitzki deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (49:47).

Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's most sacred record, and baseball never forgave him. Labeled unfairly, burdened by an asterisk, and judged by a narrative that ignored the facts, Maris paid a heavy price for doing something history said couldn't be done. In this episode, I revisit 1961 and the story baseball got wrong.

It's time to fire up the Wayback Machine, revisiting some of the funniest and most awkward moments in show history, including Skin's legendary interview opener with Stephen Jones:“Where's your heart at right now?” (and yes, he said “just” three times in one sentence).From there, things spiral into pure comedy gold:The East Texas Sports Boys debating Aaron Rodgers vs. Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and…Fonzie.And just when you think it can't get any weirder, the gang unearths a forgotten song from 2021 called “100 Years Ago” by The Dirty Grandma. The lyrics? Absolutely insane. Babe Ruth, flappers, and freaky fun in 1921—this one has to be heard to be believed.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Carl takes listeners on a bold, unforgettable journey through the people, ideas, and moments that shaped the United States. For the sake of brevity, this special episode traces only a sample of America's heroes, innovators, and cultural icons. From the Enlightenment ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers—Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin—to the defining leadership of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores how liberty, courage, and conviction forged a nation. Lincoln's leadership during the Civil War, and the enduring power of the Gettysburg Address, reveal how America's moral compass was tested—and strengthened. The story expands beyond politics to honor cultural and humanitarian trailblazers, including Elvis Presley, Julia Ward Howe, and Clara Barton, whose influence reshaped music, social reform, and humanitarian care. Modern leadership comes into focus through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, and Donald Trump, examining moments that redefined America's role at home and on the world stage. The episode also celebrates American creativity and innovation—from Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift, to inventors like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, whose ideas transformed everyday life. Sports legends such as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Serena and Venus Williams, and Shohei Ohtani embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence that continues to inspire generations. Woven throughout is the power of storytelling, honoring literary voices like Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, and Ernest Hemingway, whose words helped shape the American identity. As the nation approaches 250 years of independence, this episode stands as both a tribute and a challenge: honor the past, protect the principles that unite us, and take part in shaping what comes next. America's story isn't finished.

Baseball's 1926 World Series was more than just a championship showdown — it was emblematic of America in a decade defined by financial excess, social rebellion, and societal reinvention. We explore that dramatic showdown through "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season," a riveting new book by historian and author Thomas Wolf. Wolf takes us beyond the box scores of this unforgettable seven-game clash between Babe Ruth's New York Yankees and Rogers Hornsby's St. Louis Cardinals. He traces Ruth's improbable resurgence from a disastrous 1925 season — a comeback that reignited the public imagination—and revisits the iconic moments that still echo through baseball history, from Grover Cleveland Alexander's legendary Game 7 performance to Ruth's controversial, series-ending stolen base attempt. But the story extends well beyond the field. Wolf situates the Series within the broader cultural currents of the Jazz Age: Prohibition-era speakeasies, a rapidly modernizing society, and the parallel world of the Negro Leagues, where Rube Foster's bold vision flourished even as hopes for integration faced overwhelming resistance. The conversation also uncovers lesser-known (and darker) chapters, including the game-fixing scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker that surfaced during the Series, and Commissioner Judge Landis's unexpectedly lenient response. A historian and lifelong baseball devotee, Wolf has long examined baseball's cultural meaning. "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties" is his most ambitious work yet — using one remarkable season to probe the contradictions, triumphs, and tensions at the heart of 1920s America. + + +   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 BOOKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season" https://amzn.to/4q2oWGV SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 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/

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 30, 2025 is: charisma • kuh-RIZ-muh • noun Charisma refers to a special magnetic charm or appeal that causes people to feel attracted and excited by someone. A person with charisma is captivating and often admired. // The young singer has the kind of charisma that turns a performer into a star. See the entry > Examples: "Sports and showbiz have gone hand in hand since newsreels in the 1920s showcased the skills and charisma of Babe Ruth." — Carole Horst, Variety, 16 July 2025 Did you know? The Greek word charisma means "favor" or "gift." It comes from the verb charizesthai ("to favor"), which in turn comes from the noun charis, meaning "grace." In English, charisma was originally used in Christian contexts to refer to a gift or power bestowed upon an individual by the Holy Spirit for the good of the Church—a sense that is now very rare. These days, we use the word to refer to social, rather than divine, grace. For instance, a leader with charisma may easily gain popular support, and a job applicant with charisma may shine in an interview.

«Si fuera posible que [Torriente y Méndez] jugaran conmigo en las Ligas Mayores, ganaríamos el gallardete a más tardar en el mes de julio y nos iríamos a pescar el resto de la temporada.» Esa fue la conclusión a la que llegó Babe «El Bambino» Ruth sobre Cristóbal Torriente, a quien enfrentó en La Habana en 1920.1 Nacido en Cienfuegos, Cristóbal Carlos Torriente fue un fornido bateador zurdo que no sólo conectaba jonrones sino también sencillos, dobles y triples hacia todas las zonas del terreno con elevados promedios, hasta por encima de .400. Junto con su extraordinario poder, Torriente, con asombrosa facilidad, conectaba las bolas malas que le lanzaban tanto derechos como zurdos, y se desplazaba por las bases vertiginosamente, robando y alcanzando bases extras. A la defensiva, fue un portentoso jardinero central, sumándole a su velocidad un brazo potente y certero que le sirvió para figurar también como lanzador. De ahí que su actuación fuera estelar en sus doce temporadas con la Liga Profesional Cubana entre 1913 y 1927, a la vez que lo era jugando en las Ligas Negras norteamericanas entre 1913 y 1928. En sus 17 temporadas con las Ligas Negras se destacó como líder en todas las categorías, incluso en bases alcanzadas y carreras impulsadas, y condujo a Los Gigantes Americanos de Chicago al campeonato de la Liga Nacional Negra en sus primeras tres temporadas entre 1920 y 1922.2 En 2006, sesenta y siete años después de su ingreso al Salón de la Fama del Béisbol Cubano, Cristóbal Torriente fue electo al Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown en Nueva York, a pesar de no haber podido jugar en las Grandes Ligas por el color de su piel. En la página web de su membresía se le recuerda por una serie histórica que se menciona en la placa y en el siguiente resumen de su carrera: «En 1920, Torriente se estableció como una de las figuras legendarias del béisbol cubano. Los Gigantes de Nueva York, que por entonces incluyeron en su nómina a Babe Ruth, visitaron la Cuba natal de Torriente para enfrentar en una serie de nueve partidos al equipo Almendares, por el que jugaba Torriente. En la serie, Torriente superó en promedio de bateo y en jonrones a Ruth, y el equipo de casa ganó la serie por un juego.»3   El tercero de esos partidos, jugado el 4 de noviembre, fue inolvidable. Esa tarde el humilde cienfueguero conectó tres jonrones e impulsó seis carreras en cinco veces al bate, mientras que «El Bambino» Babe Ruth, su legendario rival que acababa de imponer la marca de 54 cuadrangulares en una temporada, no conectó ni un solo hit.4 Trágicamente, lo que sí venció a Torriente fue su adicción al alcohol, culminando en su muerte como tuberculoso, en extrema pobreza, a los 43 años de edad.5 En él se cumplió el siguiente «dicho de los sabios» en el libro de los Proverbios: «¿De quién son los lamentos? ... ¡Del que no... deja de probar licores!»6 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Matt Monagan, «The Cuban star who outslugged the Babe» [La estrella cubana que pegó más jonrones que el Bambino], mlb.com, 5 noviembre 2024 En línea 2 julio 2025. 2 Juan A.

(Día del Béisbol Cubano) «En noviembre de 1908, [el pelotero cubano José Méndez] fue seleccionado para [lanzar] contra los Rojos de Cincinnati, de las Grandes Ligas, de visita en Cuba para una de las... Series Americanas, y [permitió un solo] hit, conectado en el noveno inning. ¡El negrito estuvo a un paso [de no conceder ningún hit o carrera] a un equipo de Las Mayores! Pero... no paró ahí.... Méndez... lanzó [también los dos juegos siguientes], colgándoles veinticinco [innings consecutivos sin permitir carreras], ¡una hazaña! ... »Él pudo ser el primer cubano en Grandes Ligas, pero lo impidió la discriminación racial [que marcó al béisbol desde su surgimiento... hasta fines de la primera mitad del siglo XX]. Cuentan que [la] hazaña [de Méndez] ante el Cincinnati hizo exclamar [a John McGraw, el] mánager de los Gigantes de Nueva York: “... Si me lo pintan con cal, me lo llevo a los Estados Unidos...” »[Fue] precisamente John McGraw [quien le dio] su seudónimo, pues al regresar a su país declaró: “He visto en Cuba un Diamante Negro”».1 El mismísimo Babe Ruth comentó sobre su visita a Cuba en 1920: «Si fuera posible que [Torriente y Méndez] jugaran conmigo en las Ligas Mayores, ganaríamos el gallardete a más tardar en el mes de julio y nos iríamos a pescar el resto de la temporada.»2 «[Entre sus grandes logros, Méndez] fue primero en porcentaje de [juegos] ganados y perdidos de la Liga Profesional Cubana después de 1902, [con un promedio de] .731... [y] encabezó [los juegos sin permitir carreras] en cinco [temporadas], [propinando] veinte [en total]. »[Muy merecidamente, José Méndez, El Diamante Negro,] fue seleccionado entre los Cien Mejores Atletas del Siglo XX en Cuba; en 1939... fue elevado al... Salón de la Fama del Béisbol Cubano...; ese mismo año engrosó el de las Ligas Negras; y también por sus méritos, a pesar de no jugar en las Grandes Ligas, en el 2006 fue electo al Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown en Nueva York.» Así reseña el cronista deportivo cubano Juan Antonio Martínez de Osaba y Goenaga la extraordinaria carrera de José Méndez con relación al racismo en el béisbol profesional de la época.3 La sección «Sobre José Méndez» en la página web del Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown aborda el mismo tema al citar las memorias de la esposa de John McGraw, en las que ella «recuerda cómo John deploraba abiertamente el fracaso del béisbol —incluso su propio fracaso— al no desechar las normas culturales existentes o no escritas —o lo que fuera— y contratar a jugadores sin que importara su raza o su color».4 Gracias a Dios, el único color que nos acredita para formar parte del equipo de seguidores de su Hijo Jesucristo es el rojo, ya que es la sangre que Él vertió por nosotros en la cruz del Calvario lo que nos limpia de todo pecado, y que cuando le pedimos perdón por nuestros pecados, Él nos lo concede ¡sin que importe si esos pecados son como la púrpura o como el rojo más vivo!5 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan A.

Over the last few years, sports fans have come up with the term “the GOAT”: the Greatest Of All Time. You may be able to debate with someone about the GOAT of your favorite sport. Names like Tom Brady, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, or Serena Williams might come up in these discussions. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us of who the ultimate GOAT is, and there's no debating this truth. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, He's your friend, and He's the perfect King. Have you declared Him the GOAT of your life?

“I wanted to become the Babe Ruth of the WWF. I wanted to go down as the guy that was responsible for the foundation of what we've laid out.” As a Christmas gift to listeners, Brian R. Solomon has dug into his audio archives for this 2002 interview with Hulk Hogan.

Watch the interview on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/eyS-eokvP-UEveryone laughed when Jesse and Emily Cole said they were going to save baseball by turning it into a circus. 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.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 2001 film "61*." They introduce the film (1:10), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (5:51). In Amount of Baseball (14:41), they discuss the use of actual Mark McGwire footage, the strength of this tool throughout, and the impact of the authenticity. There is a player comp. Baseball Accuracy (20:39) starts off with discussion of Billy Crystal as Mantle's friend and "Rain Man" on set, and then delves into the history, talking about Ford Frick, Fay Vincent, and the asterisk itself, Roger Maris and Babe Ruth plate appearances, Maris and Mantle's relationship with the press, Pascual or Ramos, the imbalanced AL/NL in 1961, Babe Ruth breaking Ned Williamson's record, Maris trade rumors, Mantle running to first in three seconds, Joe DiMaggio Jerk-o-meter, Moose Skowron, Elston Howard, Billy Martin escapades, Maris signing an X on a ball, Rogers Hornsby, Casey Stengel and Mantle, the slick nickname, Mantle's arm injury, Hoyt Wilhelm and Tom Candiotti. Storytelling (54:16) considers everything added by the inclusion of the McGwire framing device, the function of Claire Ruth and Pat Maris in the story, the opening day scene, and the handling of exposition. There are a few small instances of Shakespearing. The scouts discuss the nuanced depiction of male friendship, the character of the media, the character of Bob Cerv, and the cinematography and lighting. The Score Tool (1:24:53) discusses the main theme, the volume of the score, and songs by The Ventures, Bobby Darin, and the Shirelles. Why TF is there a Lyle Lovett song? Acting (1:31:20) pretty much worships Barry Pepper, Thomas Jane, Bruce McGill, Michael Nouri, Richard Masur, Peter Jacobson, Seymour Cassel, Chris Bauer, Anthony Michael Hall, Christopher McDonald and Joe Grifasi, plus the rest of the ensemble. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:51:17) considers 17% of Yogi Berra and not enough Elston Howard. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:52:44) revels in both the accuracy and the high delight of the depictions of Phil Rizzuto, with all of his Rizzuto catchphrases and digressions, and Mel Allen trying to reign him in. Ellen has a (Rizzuto-esque?) digression into a comparison with "Eight Men Out." In Lack of Misogyny (1:59:51), they discuss Mantle's womanizing, and how it's tempered with Maris's point of view, consideration of Pat's perspective, and the existence of female fans. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:04:31), Six Degrees of Baseball (2:07:28), Favorite Moment (2:08:09) Least Favorite Moment (2:11:04), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (2:12:52), Dreamiest Player (2:15:49), Favorite Performance (2:16:30), and Next Time (2:19:05).  Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Podcast by Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR

This week, Hannah and Barbi kick off the episode with all things Thanksgiving—how it looked growing up, how it looks now, the pressure of cooking dinner, and Hannah's ongoing beef with turkey. They chat about the Macy's Day Parade, Mom's famous punch, and then wander (happily) into conversations about the real Most Interesting Man in the World and what made Babe Ruth such an unforgettable figure beyond the stats. With plenty of bird walks and bunny trails, this pre-Thanksgiving episode is cozy, nostalgic, and full of the kind of storytelling only Hannah and Barbi can pull off.

After reading an article saying that Myles Garrett is having a season comparable to the Great Bambino, Andy Baskin and Jeff Phelps wonder if that's the case.

We survived our live event! And better still we got to meet amazing Brainiacs and Susie got to witness Sarah embody the ghost of PeeWee Herman. It was incredible. We share how we violated one of our sacred principles when we participated in an activity we've previously railed against (we did not climb Mt. Everest). We discuss the woman who was left behind by a cruise ship on a deserted Australian island, and we debate how she died. Sarah reveals the age of the oldest crayon, but more importantly, we learn what it tells us about the human spirit. We talk about a controversial OnlyFans policy that is creating a MLM structure to the site. Sarah theorizes why costumes are getting hyperspecific, and Susie is mad about it. Plus, we learn about the female pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth, and why some people are calling foul.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Black Friday has come early at https://cozyearth.com!

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.
