Podcasts about baseball's hall of fame

Dan O'Dowd on Todd Helton Making Baseball's Hall of Fame

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Dec. 4 at 7:30 a.m. CT: TOKYO (AP) — The U.S. Air Force says divers have discovered wreckage and the remains of five crew members from a U.S. Air Force Osprey aircraft that crashed last week off southwestern Japan. The CV-22 Osprey carrying eight American personnel crashed last Wednesday off Yakushima island during a training mission. The body of one victim was recovered and identified earlier. The Air Force Special Operations Command says the five newly located remains are being recovered and their identities have yet to be determined. Ospreys have had a number of crashes, including in Japan, where they are used at U.S. and Japanese military bases, and the latest accident has rekindled safety concerns. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military says three commercial ships in the Red Sea were struck by ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen, and a U.S. warship shot down three drones in self-defense during the hourslong assault. The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility. The attacks marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war as multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict. U.S. Central Command says the attacks represent a direct threat to international commerce and maritime security. DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel's military has renewed calls for mass evacuations from the southern town of Khan Younis, as it widened its ground offensive and bombarded targets across the Gaza Strip. Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought refuge in the town in recent weeks. The expanded operations follow the expiration of a weeklong cease-fire. They are aimed at eliminating Gaza's Hamas rulers, whose Oct. 7 attack into Israel triggered the deadliest Israeli-Palestinian violence in decades. The war has already killed thousands of Palestinians and displaced over three-fourths of the territory's population of 2.3 million people, who are running out of safe places to go. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A prominent developing-world leader on the issue of climate change said Monday that global taxes on the financial services, oil and gas, and shipping industries could drum up hundreds of billions to poorer countries adapt to and cope with global warming. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley focused on how poorer countries could shoulder the astronomical costs for the world to adapt to climate change, reduce its future impact, and pay for losses and damage caused as climate trouble like floods, forest fires and heat waves rip through communities. Beyoncé ruled the box office this weekend. Her concert picture, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” opened in first place with $21 million in North American ticket sales, according to estimates from AMC Theatres Sunday. It debuted in 2,539 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, as well as 94 international territories, where it earned $6.4 million. Lionsgate's “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” fell to second place in its third weekend with an estimated $14.5 million. Third place went to “Godzilla Minus One." “Trolls Band Together” landed in fourth place in its third weekend with $7.6 million. College Football's semi finals are set for New Years Day but not everyone is happy, plenty of happy wide receivers in the NFL following Sunday's games, a big smile on a former manager who was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame and the number one player in the world in golf wins again. WASHINGTON (AP) — The newest group of Kennedy Center honorees, including comedian Billy Crystal and actor Queen Latifah, were feted Sunday night at a star-studded event commemorating their lifetime achievement in arts and entertainment. Opera singer Renée Fleming, 1970s music icon Barry Gibb and prolific hitmaker Dionne Warwick were also honored at the black-tie gala. Each received personalized tributes and performances that are typically kept secret from the honorees themselves. President Joe Biden welcomed the honorees to the White House before the event, saying that the performing arts “reflect who we are as Americans and as human beings.” WASHINGTON (AP) — For more than a decade, Sandra Day O'Connor was the only woman on the Supreme Court. And she was the first female justice. Now the court has a record four. There was a time when O'Connor was known as the nation's most powerful woman. That was before a woman led a presidential ticket and before a woman had served as secretary of state. O'Connor wielded considerable political clout with a pragmatic approach to the law that at times irritated colleagues both to her left and right. O'Connor retired from the court in 2006. She died Friday in Phoenix of complications of related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness. She was 93. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials say flu is picking up steam while RSV lung infections may be peaking. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that COVID-19 remains the main cause of hospitalizations and deaths in the country. The agency said a surge in RSV infections may be about to peak. And CDC officials say they are also looking into reports of outbreaks of pneumonia in two states, but say they don't believe it's due to anything unusual. As the flu season progresses, 11 states are now reporting a high level of illnesses. Oregon State, Washington State and the Mountain West have announced a football scheduling agreement for the 2024 season. It gives the two schools six opponents each and keeps open the possibility that they will operate as a two-team conference for at least a year. All 12 Mountain West schools will be involved and Oregon State and Washington State will each play three homes games and three road games against members of the conference. The Mountain West will play a seven-game conference schedule and the games against Oregon State and Washington State will not count against the conference standings. In this week's AP Religion Roundup, charges in a New York assassination plot against a religious separatist leader could complicate US-India relations. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

College Football's semi finals are set for New Years Day but not everyone is happy, plenty of happy wide receivers in the NFL following Sunday's games, a big smile on a former manager who was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame and the number one player in the world in golf wins again.

August 3, 2006, Phillies' infielder Chase Utley goes 3-for-6 against the Cardinals to extend his hitting streak to 35 games. The streak will be stopped the next day against the Mets. Utley hit in every game during the month of July, and raised his batting average 40 points during the streak.August 3, 1997 - Phil Niekro, Tommy Lasorda, Nellie Fox, and Willie Wells are inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. August 3, 1980, Al Kaline, Chuck Klein, Duke Snider, and Tom Yawkey are inducted into the Hall of Fame. Kaline collected 3,007 hits and hit 399 homers in his career spent with the Detroit Tigers. Snider belted 407 homers and batted .295 in an 18-year career, spent mostly with the Dodgers. Klein starred in the 1930s, when he won an MVP Award, the Triple Crown, and a batting title for the Phillies. Yawkey was the popular longtime owner of the Boston Red Sox.August 3, 1960, the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers make an unusual trade when they announce the swap of their managers. Cleveland's colorful general manager, Frank “Trader” Lane, sends Joe Gordon to the Tigers for Jimmy Dykes.August 3, 1948, former Negro leagues star Satchel Paige makes his first major league start. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer pitches seven innings and earns the win as the Cleveland Indians defeat the Washington Senators, 5-3. A crowd of 72,434 attends Paige's first start.August 3, 1914, New York Yankees catcher Les Nunamaker becomes the only major league player in 20th century history to throw out three base stealers in one inning. Nunamaker eliminates a trio of Detroit Tigers in the second inning.Born on this day - 1894 - Harry Heilmann, outfielder; Hall of Famer - One of the best right-handed hitters in baseball history, Harry Heilmann won four batting titles on his way to the Hall of Fame. Some attributed his batting improvement after 1920 to a “lively ball”, but the more plausible reasons were the tutelage of teammate Ty Cobb, and maturity. Heilmann played fifteen seasons with Detroit as part of one of the best hitting teams in history, and later served as a popular announcer for the franchise.

1-26-2022 Passed Ball Show. John spends this show talking about his issues with the Baseball Writers Association of America and their inconsistent voting process when it comes to the Baseball Hall of Fame. John congratulates David Ortiz for his well-deserved selection into the Baseball Hall of Fame and admits he was wrong when he declared that no player would be selected by the BBWAA this cycle. He gladly takes the "L" but makes the statement that it is not like Ortiz made it in with flying colors. 22.1% of the baseball writers did not vote for him, far more than should have. John makes his annual declaration that the Baseball Hall of Fame has not done enough to honor the best players to ever play its sport. John continuously advocates for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, and others, to get their place in Baseball's Hall of Fame. John talks about steroids and how the entire sport, its fans, its teams, its players, and its commissioner all turned a blind eye to the steroid fueled home run chase of 1998. Hall of Fame Commissioner Bud Selig was cheering from the front row as Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa shattered Roger Maris' single season home run record of 61. Baseball enabled the use of steroids and had no issue with until US Congress got involved and invited players to their chambers to discuss their use of PED's. It was not until then that baseball even banned to use of these substances in their sport. John feels that Alex Rodriguez has a much better chance to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame over the next nine years than Bonds or Clemens. John states that some players that have at least some suspicions are already in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Bonds and Clemens, themselves, will have a chance to be elected next year through the Veterans Committee. John talks about the significance of this and how the Veterans Committee may gain more credibility than the Baseball Writers Association of America when it comes to electing players to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Finally, John talks about how the attempt to hold out the best players of the steroid's era are causing lesser players to get more consideration than they deserve.

Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame voting process is broken! Chicago Cubs legend Sammy Sosa is off the ballot after 10 years, and will NOT be enshrined in Cooperstown by the voting writers! Joining him on their way home are San Francisco Giants great Barry Bonds, the legendary Roger Clemens, and Curt Schilling as well. The MLB Lockout rolls on, with the MLBPA and MLB now at least meeting face to face. Can Commissioner Rob Manfred see this through and end the lockout before we lose any baseball? JOIN US!

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Seattle Mariners 9, Detroit Tigers 6 – F/11 Toronto Blue Jays 6, Chicago White Sox 2 Chicago Cubs 3, San Diego Padres 1 Mariners 9, Tigers 6 – F/11 – Fraley's catch, single in 11th leads M's over Tigers 9-6 Jake Fraley made a game-saving catch in the ninth inning, then drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th to lead the Seattle Mariners over the Detroit Tigers 9-6. Fraley robbed Isaac Paredes of a game-ending homer with one out in the ninth, reaching well over the left-field fence to make the catch, then threw to first for an inning-ending double play. After both teams scored one run in the 10th, Fraley gave the Mariners a 5-4 lead with a one-out RBI single in the 11th. Blue Jays 6, White Sox 2 – Grichuk homers, Blue Jays beat sloppy White Sox 6-2 Randal Grichuk hit a long home run and the Toronto Blue Jays took advantage of a season-high four errors by Chicago as well as a bases-loaded walk to beat the AL Central-leading White Sox 6-2. Grichuk hit a 451-foot drive leading off the second inning. Toronto rookie Alek Manoah threw five solid innings in his third major league start and the Blue Jays won despite another strong outing by Chicago's Lance Lynn. The White Sox were sailing along with a 2-1 lead after Lynn struck out nine over seven innings. But a shaky bullpen and poor defense spoiled things for Chicago. Toronto scored three runs in the eighth and tacked on two more in the ninth. Cubs 3, Padres 1 – Pederson, Arrieta lead Cubs to 3-1 win over Darvish, Padres Joc Pederson and Sergio Alcantara homered, and Jake Arrieta threw five strong innings for the Chicago Cubs, who beat former teammate Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres 3-1 to take two of three. The Cubs beat the Padres five times in six games in a 10-day stretch, including a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field last week. Darvish retired the first nine Cubs batters before Pederson hit a towering home run to right-center field leading off the fourth to tie the game at 1. Pederson mimicked Fernando Tatis Jr.'s stutter step as he approached third base on his trot. It was Pederson's seventh. Today Seattle Mariners at Detroit Tigers, 1:10 p.m.          94.9 WSJM/103.7 Cosy-FM 12:50 Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox, 8:00 p.m. Cubs are off MLB – Mets' Alonso claims MLB manipulating baseballs to harm FAs New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso accused Major League Baseball of manipulating the baseballs to harm the earning potential for star free agents and players eligible for arbitration. Alonso's comments came before New York's game at Baltimore. He was responding to a question about the crackdown on sticky substances used by pitchers. Alonso's implied that the balls are friendlier to hitters in a year when a number of top pitchers are about to hit free agency, and vice versa. MLB – White Sox return to 100% at Guaranteed Rate Field on June 25 The Chicago White Sox will return to 100% capacity at Guaranteed Rate Field starting with a June 25 game against Seattle. The announcement comes five days after the Chicago Cubs said they will move to 100% at Wrigley Field for their June 11 game against St. Louis. The White Sox say the June 25 game will be followed by postgame fireworks. Season ticket holders will return to their regular locations, and seating pods will be eliminated. More than half the 30 teams have announced returns to full capacity. MLB – Baseball Hall delays induction to Sept 8. to allow crowd Baseball's Hall of Fame is moving this year's induction ceremony for Derek Jeter, Larry Walker, Ted Simmons and the late Marvin Miller from July 25 to Sept. 8 so a crowd may attend as coronavirus restrictions ease. The ceremony will take place outdoors on the Hall's lawn as a ticketed event with a limit on crowd size. The inductions were to have taken place in July 2020 but were postponed due to the pandemic. No candidates were elected in 2021.
