A pope who supposedly wanted baseball but caved to the Nazis instead, an amateur pitcher who cost a team a pennant, the Perdicaris incident, a Pirates manager is fired and the way his predecessor resigned, and the 2025 Colorado Rockies versus the 1932 Boston Red Sox and both in the hands of the President of the United States.   The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large.

Let's remember Baseball Talk Radio's first live podcast with Rich Baxter, Gary Mack and Ed Kasputis as we prepared for Game 6 of the 2016 National League Championship Series.  Will it be the Dodgers or the Cubs headed to Cleveland for the 112th edition of the Fall Classic?

We consider the legacy of the great Venezuelan players who have graced the game going back to Alex Carrasquel in 1939, constructing an all-star team of players from that beleaguered nation. What can any one of them tell us about Venezuelans as a whole? Hint: it's the same thing that a highway serial killer can tell us about your best friend's gramma. Then we return to the strange, inebriated world of Shufflin' Phil Douglas. Did he betray not just the game and himself, but his wife as well?The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind.

Tennessee's series against LSU wasn't that great, Missouri has the ability to go winless in the SEC, and Mississippi State needs a new coach. Chris Phillips from SEC Unfiltered joins to talk all things going on in SEC baseball. Speaking of baseball, Alberto Osuna trying again to gain any eligibility he can.

EP 133: This week Alex and Travis open by putting Aaron Judge's current stretch of dominance into a historical context. Then, they review the biggest surprises teams, both good and bad, thus far in 2025, before shedding some light on some breakout Nationals stars that came from the 2022 Juan Soto trade.

We begin with two players who would have been crowded off of modern rosters, and also couldn't have made the 1970s Oakland A's due to the owner's insistence on carrying two pinch-runners at once. Then we travel to Philadelphia and visit two pitchers seemingly on parallel tracks, one who might pitch forever as the other confronts a life-threatening illness.The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind.

We examine the Los Angeles Angels' hot start in light of the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers' hot start and what happened afterwards, and stumble across a writer saying inappropriate things about Spike Owen and Teddy Higuera. Then we talk about the tragic loss of Octavio Dotel, “The Pitt,” and Philadelphia's 1903 “Black Saturday.” Trigger Warning: There's nothing graphic about any of the above, but we do talk a bit about more than one tragic building collapse. It's tasteful, it's respectful and, we hope, totally not exploitative, but thinking about it too much still might be troubling. The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind.

Infinite Inning 324: The Way We Live Now (Again) In a largely improvised episode we reexperience current events through the lens of Joe DiMaggio's 1941 hitting streak, counting the days while the war stays away, while once again a government effort requires us to rally ‘round Jackie Robinson—and Abraham Lincoln too, and we do so while checking in on the better brand of shortstops offered by the Negro Leagues' Newark Eagles and Philadelphia Stars (and shame Connie Mack one more time).

Jamie McLennan was the first guest on today's show! He gave his initial thoughts from last night's game, touched on Calvin Pickard's play, and finished with his thoughts on the Kings dominance from home this season…   We dipped into The Fan Zone presented by FansFirst to discuss how far Pickard can lead this Oilers team in the playoffs… right before our Coolbet Hotline of The Day!   It was then time for Free Advice from Damon Bunting. We gave some fantasy advice, some movie advice and first date advice.   To finish off hour one, it was time for Eric Macramalla. He spoke about their potentially being two suns, touched on Rogers agreeing to a 12-year $11 billion extension on NHL broadcasting rights, and finished with his thoughts on torpedo bats.

We go over a few of the firsts that happened on Opening Day, like Austin Wells becoming the first catcher to hit a leadoff home run on opening day and only the 21st batter to do so in the history of the sport. Then we get into a discussion about the Los Angeles Angels Opening Day woes, and we get into a long form talk about the Phillies first game of the season.After the commercial break we come back to discuss our fantasy baseball league and how we each feel about our teams.

We debate whether a victim of the First World War and the 1918 influenza pandemic was the heretofore unidentifiable Greatest Lost Prospect, we make a quick stop to compare takes on the 1915 World Series to Social Darwinism, and rediscover a dirty owners' trick after a pitcher gathers up all his many girlfriends and drives into a wall.

EP 132: Alex opens with a discussion on the stacked crop of right fielders going into the new season, and then he previews the 2025 MLB season by breaking down the win-loss projections for each division on Fangraphs.

A pitcher reaching a breaking point with his creator sends us scurrying back to the Old Testament for guidance, and then we unpack the stories behind Steve's Baseball Prospectus column this week, a reaction to the Department of Defense labeling Jackie Robinson as “deisports.” Should you wish to read the column, it's available free (no paywall) at BP. Trigger Warning: There are extensive discussions of slavery, and a brief one of rape, in the second part of the show. There is also perhaps one mild cussword in here.

Casey Stengel (our mascot, hero, and deity) steals a couple of uniforms and feels bad about it, and then a successful manager of the Red Sox is fired under dubious circumstances, and then virtually everyone in the story catches tuberculosis.

A sportswriter faces his own irrelevance on the morning after Pearl Harbor and finds a way back to baseball, and then a pitcher loses it and reignites a brawl that had already ended—featuring more future Hall of Famers than wound up in the Hall of Fame.

A minor leaguer gets involved with the wrong woman, but who does she get involved with in the aftermath? And why did the pitcher throw the inkstand? Tigger Warning: There is one mild cussword early on, but one supposes there are a few adult matters related to sexuality that come up in passing.

Bernie Carbo was the 16th pick in the 1965 MLB draft. He played 12 seasons in the majors, most notably with Boston and Cincinatti. He shined as one of MLB's next bright stars but, began diminishing that shine through choices he made. His full story can be found in his book, "Saving Bernie Carbo." In this conversation, Bernie told me he only wanted to talk about Jesus. Bernie is one of the most passionate people I have ever met.

We begin with a brief threnody on those who would say ballplayers are overpaid, spanning Babe Ruth to Juan Soto and the arbitrary nature of those ‘plaints. We then head into the darkness for the thwarted careers and prematurely-concluded marriages of two 1930s middle infielders and how they reacted to a very specific, cruel form of tragedy.

Episode 269 features former Major League Baseball pitcher, Bill Pulsipher, telling his story to help others, Bubb'n Mutha's founder, John Fuhrman dishing out barbecue and baseball talk, Leonard rants, and we celebrate our show's seven year anniversary. Bill Pulsipher is one third of what New York Mets fans once knew as "Generation K."  It was a moniker he shared with his two other teammates, Jason Isringhausen and Paul Wilson.  The media dubbed them as the members and the fans, desperate for players to help their team, bought into the hype.  The amount of pressure this placed on Bill and the other two Generation K members was extreme and Bill tells all, including a career derailed by injuries and severe depression.  Bill spent parts of six Major League Baseball seasons with the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and St. Louis Cardinals.  We tend to put these talented athletes on pedestals and revere them as heroes, but pulling back the curtain reveals they are as human as everyone else and, after listening to Bill's story you may have a new appreciation for what some of them deal with. John Fuhrman is the founder of Bubb'n Mutha's which manufactures premium spice rub blends.  After serving in the United States Navy, John, worked in the auto industry and ended up in North Carolina.  While there he fell in love with barbecue and learned how to cook it and experimented with different spices and rubs.  John returned to Maine and started this company, making his products with special real Maine ingredients like organic blueberry powder, maple crystals and even Raye's Mustard which is the oldest mustard company in America. John loves baseball and barbecue and we delve deeply into both topics.  For more information on John or to order his products go to https://www.bubnmuthas.com We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

On the road to grandmother's house, we ask whether a 19th-century game purported to be the greatest of all time was any fun, stopping along the way to admire the marital problems of a star second baseman and various other acts of criminality.
