Two tales of children whose adult life in baseball might have been influenced by childhood fears real and imagined (but mostly real). First, the speed-king of 1880s baseball (since dethroned or at least debunked) has to watch his parents await the arrival and Robert E. Lee and his hordes on their doorstep. Then we return to John McGraw, his dangerous youth, his possible encounters with Mark Twain, and an afterlife wish-list of writers, actors, and cartoonists posted by an obscure writer who soon thereafter journeyed to the next world to meet them himself. We then conclude by debating if young McGraw had better options for escaping his dilemma than we do today. 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?

Two stories featuring one of the more rage-addicted pitchers of all time (no, not Johnny Allen, but good guess), one in which he overestimated a Hall of Famer's rigidity and got ejected for it, another when he had simply had enough and removed himself from the situation—a self-destructive impulse that, in select circumstances, it might well be liberating to emulate. Plus: We revisit a segment on Tommy John, who passed away this week, and an occasion when his pitching arm was badly hurt—no, not that time. Another one!

Two stories in which the players' absence from the narrative is the point: First, we go back to John McGraw's first right fielder with the Giants, a speed-based player who was supposed to be a nice guy, but still found occasion to heave this bat at the opposition. Then we visit a St. Louis Stars great who took a drink—or a lot of them—from the wrong bottle and ended up stiff and cold in San Diego. We ought to know more. Why don't we?

Over a hundred years ago, a forward-thinking sportswriter suggests that a certain Yankees slugger might solve a munitions crisis much like the one the United States military is reportedly suffering from today. Then we turn to the Giants of the John McGraw era for one of the more obscure Hall of Famers, one very different from Ruth but, like the Babe and the “platinum blonde” actress Jean Harlow, he got a raw deal from his own body.

In 1922, two New York teams make July trades that provoke a change in the way the game is played. Both were successful in their way, but how successful were they, really? And why did one of them involve a pitcher throwing up on Casey Stengel's floor and a future Hall of Fame third baseman possibly passing blood? And we stop in on Babe Ruth in his last days and contrast a life of actual experience with a life of artificial experience. Trigger Warning: There's a cussword at about 19:35. Hide the dog!

Then we visit the win-or-go-home American League playoff game between the Red Sox and the Indians, a contest famously mishandled by Joe McCarthy, another future Hall of Famer.

Two instructive tales of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who, as Casey Stengel said, were at that time in Brooklyn. The 26-inning man places a clever comeback among his last words, but not before pilfering some stocks that didn't belong to him, marrying the bosses daughter, and going broke, not necessarily in that order. Then a Deadball Era shortstop is spectacularly overrated compared to his betters, which included one of the best of all time, Honus Wagner. We also wing past one of the great forgotten offensive seasons in Cincinnati Reds history, revisit an oft-repeated Maya Angelou line, quote a key paragraph or two from Bleak House as it pertains to Charles Ebbets' estate, and so much more!The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine.

We ask of various figures past and present (as Mark Twain once did) “Is He Alive or Is He Dead?” finishing with the time Babe Ruth was reported to have fatally crashed his car.

Why the New Drop-6 Bats in HS Probably Won't Do What You ThinkRecording from his deck with a borrowed gaming headset before an afternoon game, host Deven Morgan brings you the world's most dangerous youth baseball podcast, Youth Bat Madness edition. He breaks down the new USA Baseball rule allowing USABat -4, -5, and -6 bats in high school play starting in 2028, and the fear that comes with it: let bigger kids swing lighter bats and pitchers eat harder comebackers. Deven explains why that's mostly unfounded, walking through coefficient of restitution, the trampoline effect off the barrel that's capped at 0.50 for both standards, so the pop shouldn't change. The variable that actually matters is swing weight, and it's the one the rule may have left open. Since drop weight only defines length to total weight and not where that weight sits, he lays out the loophole a bat maker could exploit absent a swing-weight floor: a -6 that feels like a -3, easier to swing but giving up nothing on the collision, the one real path to higher exit velocity. He closes on the bigger question of whether this is an equipment fix for what's really a development problem, and whether two years is enough to build the strength to handle BBCOR anyway.00:16 – Welcome from the deck, borrowed headset and all00:50 – The new rule: USABat -4, -5, and -6 legal for high school starting 202801:20 – The parent fear driving this episode: harder comebackers off bigger kids' bats01:58 – The setup: exit velocity is capped, but there's a loophole02:58 – What coefficient of restitution actually means and why it's capped at 0.5004:32 – Swing weight, and why two bats can weigh the same but feel different05:43 – The finger-balance test for reading a bat's swing weight07:36 – The loophole: how a bat maker could build a -6 that performs like a -310:40 – What we don't know: the bats don't exist and the swing-weight floor is unconfirmed11:28 – Why it's personal, and the contact-rate concern that actually has teeth12:22 – The real problem: losing kids who can't handle BBCOR at 1413:31 – The case for development over equipment14:34 – The two-year window from 12 to 14 and what to do with it16:00 – Bottom line, Dr. Alan Nathan's research, and where he might be wrong19:38 – SignoffLinks:https://t.co/R7TLVHE2EU

Remembering Rob Hahne: Without Him, There Is No UsBroadcasting from "the world's most dangerous youth baseball podcast," host Deven Morgan records on location from the Great Park in Irvine - a $1.2 billion youth sports complex that prompts a hard look at where the game is headed and who it's being built for. He's there because his son drew a Perfect Game UBC invite against elite arms touching 97–98, a showcase he frames as deep learning more than competition. The heart of the episode is a tribute to his friend Rob Hahne, who passed unexpectedly at 57 - the connective force behind the universal pitch count push and the ABCA work that made it real. Deven revisits their last time together at ABCA in Columbus and the gut-punch of returning to the field Rob built for the eulogy, then widens into mortality, the Michael Mann line "time is luck," and the end of Max Rojas's high school career. He closes with a teaser for new, more accessible youth training products and a reminder to tell the people you love them, because you have less time than you think.Timestamps:00:00 On location at the Great Park, Irvine01:00 A $1.2 billion youth complex and what it signals04:00 The "$20 hamburger" and the cost of youth baseball05:30 Access, affordability, and $300K in scholarships06:55 Why we're here: the Perfect Game UBC showcase07:40 Facing 97–98 and the deep learning of elite competition09:54 Losing Rob Hahne 11:00 Rob, universal pitch counts, and the MLB meeting12:18 "I'll never get to thank him again"13:00 ABCA in Columbus: watching Kyle watch his dad16:27 The eulogy and the field Rob built18:22 The stage of life where friends start dying19:21 Miami Vice and "time is luck"20:43 Max Rojas and the end of a chapter22:06 The Ted Williams treatment and why nothing lasts forever24:15 New youth training products coming28:00 Carrying it forward, for Rob29:37 Tell your people you love themLinks:https://t.co/R7TLVHE2EU
