Grab it here.   After disclosing way to much personal information about someone, we kick the show off discussing the return of the Brooklyn Sewer Men, and of course Brian has a very interesting conspiracy people about all of it.   And we are only five weeks out from the 19th annual Laugh For Sight at Gotham Comedy club go get your tickets here.    Google is getting ready to send an A.I. not a Super Intelligence satellite up in to space next week. We ask what could go wrong?   Then we're talking baseball, and Dummy Hoy, Baseball's first deaf pioneer and the push to get Mr. Hoy in to the Baseball Hall of Fame.   We then dive in to our thoughts and review of iOS 27 and the issues that some of us have been having with the new operating system. Brian starts with an awful review of his experiences with the new Siri. Jeanine then dives in to her experiences with iOS 27. Brian then brings up the massive security issue in iOS 27, the entering of your password with VoiceOver and being told the wrong number of characters entered. Next up Brian discusses the disaster that Downcast has become in iOS 27. And then there's the Notification Center, yuck.   Jeanine then gives us her thoughts of Mac OS golden Gate.        The long rumored Apple Home Pod is rumored to be arriving next month. Would you want Siri runninng your household?   The article title says CahtGPT's Voice mode is getting some big upgrades, yet we couldn't find anything big about this at all.   The Colonel, Bernie Sanders is proposing the elimination of the development of all Super Intelligence and jail time for people who do develop it.

Confession: I didn't want to watch Justin Verlander's final game. With the lack of starts this year, his age, and how the Tigers' season has gone, I thought it would just be depressing. Instead, it was a complete emotional rollercoaster and realize I might've been wrong. In this video, I break down Verlander's emotional rollercoaster of a game, his stats from the outing, and some of the incredible numbers from his career. We already know Justin Verlander is headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame — that part isn't really up for debate.But there's one question that got me thinking:What hat does Justin Verlander wear into the Hall of Fame?

Tony Mullane hurt his right arm in a distance-throwing contest, taught himself to throw left-handed, and on July 18, 1882, became the first pitcher in Major League history to throw with both arms in the same game. Two months later he threw the first no-hitter in American Association history, a game that also featured Pete Browning getting called out as an illegal baserunner after forgetting he had a pinch runner. Jeff follows "The Apollo of the Box" from running away from home in Erie, Pennsylvania, to the Louisville Eclipse, the St. Louis Browns, Toledo, and Cincinnati: 284 wins, the all-time wild pitch record, contract jumping, a full-season suspension, and a game-fixing accusation. Then there's the other side of Tony Mullane: his treatment of Moses Fleetwood Walker, the first openly Black major leaguer, threatening his own team president, an arrest over a whiskey bill, a divorce granted on grounds of extreme cruelty, and a lawsuit claiming he hit a man with a baseball bat. It all ends with a stint as a Chicago police sergeant and a Hall of Fame case that Cooperstown has never answered.   Also in this episode: Bernie Williams joins Jose Iglesias in the Buena Vista Social Club on Broadway. Jeff quizzes Mark on the Hall of Famers who debuted after 1950 but don't have their numbers retired by any team. The guys run through the best teammate name combos in baseball history, from Black & Decker to Abbott & Costello to the Days of Wine and Rojas. An awkward Mets fan encounter at the grocery store, a check-in on Broccoli Man, and Mel Allen returns with a This Week in Baseball quiz about the last second baseman to hit 20 home runs before 1989.

Continuing with Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Andy Billman. Andy gets into the duality of Dick Allen. He was a great ballplayer but also was a very controversial figure. He was cast as a moody, combative, arrogant individual... but was he? And why did it take so long for Dick Allen to make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Host Bill Donohue looks back at memorable careers in hockey and baseball. Bill opens the show by talking with former New York Islanders goaltender Chico Resch, who shares stories about his journey from Moose Jaw to Long Island, including his early nerves, the origin of his painted goalie mask, and how he became known as “Chico.” He also recalls the excitement of playing at Nassau Coliseum and explains how teammates such as Billy Smith, Clark Gillies, and Bobby Nystrom, along with coach Al Arbour, helped turn the Islanders from a struggling expansion team into a championship organization.Resch discusses the different personalities and playing styles on those Islanders teams, including Billy Smith's natural instincts in goal and his own efforts to stand out and help the team. He also talks about the Islanders' rivalries with the Rangers and Flyers, the strong connection between the team and its fans, and the difficult business side of hockey, including trades and roster changes.Later, Vada Pinson Jr. joins the program and reflects on his father's outstanding baseball career. He highlights Pinson's breakout 1961 season, his place among Major League Baseball's leading hitters during the 1960s, and his Gold Glove defense. He also discusses the racism, negative media coverage, and other barriers his father faced, including the well-known incident involving sportswriter Earl Lawson. Pinson Jr. explains why he believes those issues may have hurt his father's chances of being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.In a special bonus hour, Bill talks with Savannah Bananas pitcher Frankie Moscatiello, followed by Barry Goudreau, an original member of the legendary rock band Boston.Throughout the show, Donohue keeps the conversations relaxed and personal while giving his guests room to share their memories. The episode offers an entertaining look at two important sports careers and the people, challenges, and experiences that shaped them.Takeaways:Bill Donohue moderated a relaxed two‑hour program in which he steered substantive interviews, cultivating an affable yet earnest atmosphere for extended reminiscence and analysis.Chico Resch reminisced about Long Island's communal fervor and explained how his painted goalie mask together with the 'Chico' sobriquet materially amplified his public persona and professional prospects.He delineated the performative and psychological dynamics of goaltending, portraying Billy Smith as a quasi‑phenomenon whose ritualized mentality and clutch orientation materially influenced playoff success.They unpacked the Islanders' strategic metamorphosis under Bill Torrey and Al Arbour, emphasizing the imperative for a secondary scoring nucleus and the sometimes merciless calculus of roster transactions.Vada Pinson III delivered a measured, data‑driven appraisal of his father's career, juxtaposing prolific hitting totals and defensive excellence against the institutional and media forces that complicated Hall of Fame recognition.He recounted racially charged episodes in Cincinnati — notably the Lawson altercation and insinuations of a 'Negro clique' — situating those incidents within broader patterns of regional prejudice and media power dynamics.They highlighted the mentorship and camaraderie among Black players like Vada Pinson Sr., Frank Robinson, and their welcoming of rookies such as Pete Rose, illustrating how interpersonal bonds shaped clubhouse culture and career trajectories.Collectively, the interviews foregrounded the entanglement of athletic performance, personal identity, and organizational decision‑making, offering listeners nuanced perspectives on legacy formation, memory, and the contingencies that define professional sport.

Jim is joined by author and sports historian Clayton Trutor to break down the HOF candidacy of former MLB right fielder Jack Clark. First, Clayton and Jim discuss just how rare it is for a ballplayer to record 130+ walks in a season, a feat Clark accomplished twice (14:59). Next, they cover Clark's huge home run in the 1985 NLCS, why Clark did not reach the level of fame his talent warranted, and where Clark ranks among the best right fielders of his era (19:05). Finally, Jim makes a confession about his longtime Will Clark/Jack Clark mixup (44:18), before making a final call on whether Clark belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame (46:34).

Las Vegas has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in the world of sports—and few people have had a better view of that evolution than longtime sports anchor and reporter Ron Futrell of 8NewsNow. This week on "Talk About Las Vegas With Ira," Ron returns to the podcast for a fascinating conversation about the people, events and decisions that helped transform Southern Nevada into one of the world's premier sports destinations. Ron discusses the remarkable success of Paseo Verde Little League of Henderson, Nevada, including its extraordinary run of four appearances in the Little League World Series during five years. He also talks about Carsynn Meyer, who made history as the first girl to play in the Little League World Series—and whose gloves were requested by the Baseball Hall of Fame. The conversation also explores the explosive growth of professional sports in Las Vegas. Ron explains why the city's emergence as a major sports market “didn't happen by accident,” the impact of the landmark 2018 U.S. Supreme Court sports betting decision, and how that ruling helped open the floodgates for major league sports and sports-related investment in Las Vegas. Ira and Ron also discuss the role of private-public partnerships, the debate over when public funding may be necessary for major sports projects, and the remarkable coalescing of arenas and stadiums on or near the Las Vegas Strip. Having covered Las Vegas sports since arriving in the city in 1984, Ron shares his choic-es for the three biggest sporting events he has witnessed—including the unforgettable moment when the Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup. And what happened to boxing? Ron reflects on the glory days of boxing in Las Vegas, why the sport no longer holds the same position it once did in the city, and how MMA has emerged as a major force in the modern Las Vegas sports landscape. From Little League dreams to championship celebrations, from sports betting to billion-dollar stadium projects, this episode is a compelling look at how Las Vegas became a global sports powerhouse. Listen to “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira” and discover why the biggest game in Las Vegas may be the city's continuing rise as one of the world's great sports capitals.

Major League Baseball awards separate MVPs in the American and National Leagues, but what would happen if there were only one award for the entire sport?The leading candidates present a fascinating contrast.Pete Crow-Armstrong offers elite defense, speed, power and enormous all-around value. Traditional value measurements such as WAR make a compelling case that the Chicago Cubs center fielder has been the most valuable player in baseball.Yordan Alvarez presents a different argument. The Houston Astros slugger may not match Crow-Armstrong's defensive value, but his bat changes games. Measures such as Win Probability Added give Alvarez credit for delivering in the moments that have most directly affected whether his team wins or loses.That raises a larger question: What should “most valuable” actually mean?Should the award go to the player who accumulates the greatest overall value across hitting, defense and baserunning? Or should greater weight be given to the player whose biggest performances come in the most important moments?In Episode 723 of Almost Cooperstown, Mark and Gordon compare Pete Crow-Armstrong and Yordan Alvarez and consider what WAR, WPA and other measurements reveal—and sometimes fail to reveal—about player value.They also discuss whether clutch performance should influence MVP voting, whether a designated hitter can overcome the value contributed by an elite defensive center fielder and whether one statistic should ever settle an MVP debate.If Major League Baseball selected only one overall MVP, would you vote for PCA or Yordan Alvarez?Almost Cooperstown is a weekly baseball podcast featuring thoughtful conversations about the Baseball Hall of Fame, baseball history, current MLB topics, player comparisons, statistics and the stories that connect today's game with its rich history.Thanks again to Mercury Maid for the Intro & Outro music.Visit AlmostCooperstown.com for original baseball articles, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow Almost Cooperstown on YouTube.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Bruce F. Rosen, award-winning writer, journalist, financial professional, and author of the deeply personal memoir If You Ever Need Me, I Won't Be Far Away. Rosen has written professionally for decades, with work appearing in the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, and Asian Week. His writing has also reached the BBC, while an essay about his childhood baseball hero Sandy Koufax was featured by the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rosen holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from UC Santa Barbara and a master's degree in international relations from San Francisco State University. At the emotional heart of Rosen's memoir is his extraordinary relationship with his mother, Alma Lorraine Rosen, to whom the book is dedicated. Alma was known for what she and others regarded as psychic abilities and supported her family in part by giving tea-leaf readings. Rosen recounts that she read for people from many walks of life, including celebrities such as Marlon Brando. For Bruce, however, her greatest gift was not prediction but the love, compassion, guidance, and sense of joy that continued to influence him long after her death. If You Ever Need Me, I Won't Be Far Away travels far beyond the story of a mother and son. Rosen reflects upon the breakdown of his 25-year marriage, fatherhood, an abusive relationship with his own father and his eventual decision to forgive, friendship, loss, spirituality, music, politics, economics, and extensive travels around the world. He also examines the intriguing question of fate versus free will—how much of our lives do we actually choose, and how much seems to unfold along a path we could never have anticipated? Join Rob McConnell and Bruce F. Rosen on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a conversation about family, psychic experiences, love, loss, forgiveness, fate, spirituality, and finding joy after life changes in ways we never expected. Rosen's message ultimately comes back to something remarkably simple: the people we love may leave our physical lives, but what they gave us can remain profoundly present. And behind the title is a beautiful promise from a mother to her son: If You Ever Need Me, I Won't Be Far Away. Rosen's original conversation with Rob is preserved in The 'X' Zone archives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Jim is joined by baseball podcaster Nick Murawski to break down the HOF candidacy of former MLB right fielder Jermaine Dye. First, they cover Dye's MVP performance in the 2005 World Series (7:50). Next, they discuss why Dye's 300th home run stands out more than most, whether Dye's 2006 regular season is the best by a Chicago White Sox player in the 21st century, and where Dye ranks among the best right fielders of the 1990s/2000s (18:00). Finally, they review if Dye's defense was as bad as defensive metrics would leave you believe (43:48), before making a final call on whether Dye belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame (48:33).

Mark and Andy take on a new type of topic: the players that make up--or were excluded from--the 1999 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. This particular ballot was chock full of players who eventually were elected to the Hall of Fame, as well as plenty of others who have come very close. Your hosts highlight a player at each position whose career was noteworthy for one reason or another. As usual, they wrap it up with a scintillating round of Roll The Stat. Come along and relive some baseball memories, and maybe see some players in a new light thanks to advanced metrics.

Discussing the 2026 class - totaling 3. Jeff KentAndruw JonesCarlos BeltranREOCCURRING GUEST: Jon Shestakofsky is the Vice President of Communications and Content (formerly Communications and Education) for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. He joined the Hall of Fame in 2016 after working for a decade in media relations and baseball information for the Boston Red Sox. 

The 2026 Mets have been a mess—but are they actually better positioned for 2027 than their record suggests?Mark and Gordon, two Mets fans who have suffered through the season firsthand, look at what went wrong, why a brutal 12-game losing streak essentially destroyed the season, and why the emergence of young players may give Mets fans legitimate reasons for optimism next year.Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing could be part of a young outfield alongside Juan Soto. Nolan McLean and Christian Scott are emerging as potential rotation anchors. Kodai Senga may have found a new role in the bullpen. And despite plenty of questionable decisions, the Mets may finally be developing enough young talent that free-agent signings can become luxuries rather than necessities.Before getting to the Mets, there's plenty happening around baseball.The American League wild-card race has become a dogfight, with Toronto making an unexpected charge and several teams packed together in the standings. Cal Raleigh's dramatic offensive decline is hurting Seattle, while the entire AL West continues to struggle.We also remember Tommy John, who passed away this week. John finished with 288 career wins—the most ever by a pitcher outside the Hall of Fame other than Roger Clemens—and his death immediately renews the debate over whether Cooperstown has waited far too long.There's also a remarkable MLB debut: Cardinals rookie Joshua Baez homered on the first pitch he saw, then homered again—and again—becoming the first player in Major League history to hit three home runs in his first game.Plus: Paul Skenes' declining fastball velocity, what 100-mph pitching may be doing to starting pitchers, the sale of the Dodgers, the competitive advantages created by baseball's revenue structure, Hunter Greene's injury, and whether Cincinnati should rethink its direction.It's another week where today's baseball collides with history, statistics and plenty of opinion on Almost Cooperstown.Almost Cooperstown is a weekly baseball podcast featuring thoughtful conversations about the Baseball Hall of Fame, baseball history, current MLB topics, player comparisons, statistics and the stories that connect today's game with its rich history.Thanks again to Mercury Maid for the Intro & Outro music.Visit AlmostCooperstown.com for original baseball articles, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow Almost Cooperstown on YouTube.

On this episode of the NYS Halls of Fame Podcast, we welcome Steve Sigler, a true pioneer in adult amateur baseball and the driving force behind the growth of the Men's Senior Baseball League (MSBL)/Men's Adult Baseball League (MABL).  In 1985, he placed a simple notice in a Long Island, New York, newspaper looking for men interested in forming a baseball team. That small advertisement became the beginning of something much bigger — a national baseball organization that has helped thousands of players continue doing what they loved as kids and young men: playing baseball.  More than two decades later, Sigler was leading an organization that had grown to 325 local affiliates, 3,200 teams and approximately 45,000 members, with organized amateur baseball being played in communities across the country.  Steve is a member of the Class of 2026 New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.

With roughly 40 games remaining in the 2026 MLB regular season, the postseason picture is beginning to take shape—but there's still plenty of time for everything to change.The Boston Red Sox have come roaring back into the American League race after a remarkable stretch of winning baseball. Would you rather be a Red Sox fan right now—or a Dodgers fan? Los Angeles has suddenly hit a rough patch, but is this really cause for concern, or is a veteran championship team simply waiting for October?We look around baseball at the contenders, pretenders and teams hanging onto the edges of the playoff race. The Rays continue to prove us wrong, the Yankees are waiting for reinforcements, and with only about a quarter of the season remaining, one terrible week could effectively end a team's postseason hopes.We also discuss Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr. and the pressure that comes with playing shortstop in New York; the remarkable extra-inning Red Sox-White Sox game that produced scoring in five consecutive innings; and why games like that make a pretty good argument for MLB's regular-season extra-inning rule.Then there's Tommy John. With news about John's health prompting renewed discussion of his Hall of Fame candidacy, we debate a fascinating question: Is his 288-win, 26-year pitching career worthy of Cooperstown on its own—or are people inevitably giving him extra credit because the revolutionary surgery bears his name?Plus, Jacob Wilson sets a Major League record for consecutive errorless games by a shortstop, Matt Olson reaches 900 consecutive games played, and we consider whether Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2,632-game streak may be the most unbreakable record in baseball.Finally, there's actually a reason for optimism about MLB's looming labor confrontation. Every owner lockout in MLB history has ended before costing baseball a regular-season game. Could history—and the enormous amount of money now at stake—make a 2027 work stoppage less likely than many fans fear?We finish with Craig Kimbrel joining his 12th MLB franchise and a Chicago Cubs defense that isn't merely good—it has a chance to rank among the best defensive teams we've ever seen.It's another week of baseball history colliding with the game we're watching right now on Almost Cooperstown.Almost Cooperstown is a weekly baseball podcast featuring thoughtful conversations about the Baseball Hall of Fame, baseball history, current MLB topics, player comparisons, statistics and the stories that connect today's game with its rich history.Thanks again to Mercury Maid for the Intro & Outro music.Visit AlmostCooperstown.com for original baseball articles, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow Almost Cooperstown on YouTube.

Can the Philadelphia 76ers turn a roster featuring LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, and VJ Edgecombe into a championship team?Basketball analytics pioneer and ESPN data scientist Dean Oliver joins the Wharton Moneyball team to examine how Philadelphia might distribute possessions among so many high-usage players, whether LeBron can succeed as a point forward, and who should control the ball in critical late-game situations. The conversation also explores three-point shooting, defensive concerns, and why analytics can measure player performance more easily than it can predict chemistry and fit.Plus, the hosts discuss the enduring appeal of the Baseball Hall of Fame and the arrival of corporate jersey sponsorships in college football. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Athletic's and co-host of the Starkville Podcast Jayson Stark (1:09) joins Jeff and Kevin to discuss the Boston Red Sox's turnaround on both end of the field, whether Aroldis Chapman will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame once his career ends, how the Blue Jays and Phillies came out of the trade deadline, why he doesnt' understand AL Central-leading Tigers trading away Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, and if the day of the trade deadline should be moved. Then, Red Sox analyst and former MLB infielder Lou Merloni (28:46) jumps on to chat about why Willson Contreras is a definition of what it means to be a Red Sox, Wilyer Abreu's hitting, how Garrett Crochet could be used once he return from the IL, and Chad Tracy's impact as interim manager.
