On The Kenny & JT Show we welcome back Bob Ibach from Nikco Sports. Bob is offering a very cool Cincinnati Reds collectible bat featuring the Big Red Machine teams from the 1970's.

In the spring of 1975, the Red Sox came racing out of the gate led by a trio of outfielders who were making a mark in the American League… Dwight Evans first came on the scene in 1972 and was now the everyday right fielder. Joining him in '75 in left was future Hall of Famer Jim Rice who would have a spectacular rookie season finishing 3rd in the league in the MVP race and 2nd in Rookie of the Year. That's because the guy manning center in Fenway had an even better first season in the bigs. Fred Lynn would go on to become the first player ever to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season, a feat only matched one other time when Ichiro Suzuki did it in 2001. And for Lynn and the Sox fans, it was love at first sight. The 23-year old kid won the CF job out of Spring Training and never looked back… He would finish the season with a .331 average, 21 home runs and 105 RBI's while also winning a Gold Glove for his defensive prowess in centerfield. It was a season for the ages for Lynn and the Sox that culminated in one of the All-time classic World Series matchups between the Sox and the Big Red Machine that went 7 games after one of the most famous October HR's ever... a shot by Carlton Fisk that won arguably the greatest World Series game ever played…  That Game 6 contest was a moment in sports where the people of Boston for years would ask… ‘Where were you for Game 6?” The answer for a young Dan Shaughnessy was… Fenway Park… Years before the Hall of Fame writer was hired by the Boston Globe to cover the team he grew up loving, Dan was there with his sister taking in one of the greatest games he ever witnessed… and he's seen a lot… from that Game 6, to Bucky Dent's blast in '78, to the euphoria of Dave Henderson's HR that helped propel the '86 Sox back to the World Series to the Buckner play that same October that kept the curse alive to Boone's HR in '03 and the comeback that ended 86 years of futility in 2004… Shaughnessy has literally covered it all. The author of a dozen books including One Strike Away, The Curse of the Bambino, and Reversing the Curse: Inside the 2004 Boston Red Sox, nobody knows the Sox of the last 50 years better than this kid from Groton, MA who's had a birds eye view of it all and access to the players and team like no other. Shaughnessy tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how his friend and mentor Peter Gammons told them all to watch out for this kid from USC who was going to be the next big thing in Boston and how Freddie Lynn started hot, and never stopped in that magical Rookie season of '75. It would be almost 30 more years before the Red Sox broke the curse and Shaughnessy relives the highs, the lows, the ups and the downs of that Sox ride beginning 50 years ago, when a young phenom from L.A. took New England by storm and had a season we're still talking about on the Past Our Prime podcast.

The 1975 Cincinnati Reds, known as the Big Red Machine, were at the height of their dominance and delivered one of the most iconic seasons in baseball history. Managed by Sparky Anderson, the team finished with a 108–54 record, cruising to the National League West title and eventually capturing the World Series crownThe roster was loaded with star power, including Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and Tony Pérez—each contributing in different ways to the team's relentless offense and cohesive chemistry. Joe Morgan, in particular, had an MVP season, showcasing a rare combination of power, speed, and plate discipline. Pete Rose continued to be the heartbeat of the lineup, hitting .317 and playing with unmatched intensity. Bench and Pérez delivered consistent power, while George Foster and Dave Concepción added key production and strong defense. On the pitching side, the staff wasn't overpowering, but it was highly effective. Don Gullett, Gary Nolan, and Fred Norman anchored the rotation, while Rawly Eastwick emerged as a dominant force out of the bullpenThe Reds' balance, depth, and aggressive base running made them a nightmare matchup for opponents. After sweeping the Pirates in the NLCS, Cincinnati faced the Boston Red Sox in a dramatic World Series that went seven games. Game 6, featuring Carlton Fisk's legendary walk-off home run, remains one of the most famous in MLB historyThe Reds responded with a Game 7 victory, securing their first World Series title since 1940.

In this episode of The Runway Decade Podcast, Bill and Pete discuss the intersection of baseball and financial planning. They explore how teamwork, coaching, and early financial education shape success, drawing insightful parallels between the sport they love and the business they live in day-to-day. From the importance of visualization and mindset to the timeless principles that stand the test of time, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways for both baseball enthusiasts and financial planners alike. Key Topics: 00:01 – Introduction Bill and Pete kick off the episode with the familiar pre-flight announcement. Spring is around the corner, and baseball season is officially underway. 02:11 – Baseball Season & Personal Connections Discussing LSU baseball's strong start and high expectations. The Bush brothers' personal history with baseball, from childhood games to watching the Big Red Machine. Baseball's role in shaping their competitive mindset and teamwork skills. 06:15 – Teamwork in Baseball & Financial Planning Success in baseball depends on specialized roles—just like in financial planning. Every player has a position, just as financial professionals (advisors, tax professionals, attorneys) each play a key role. Why building a solid financial team is crucial for long-term success. 09:35 – The Role of Coaching in Both Worlds The best baseball teams have great coaches—so do successful investors. A financial advisor acts as a coach, guiding clients through financial decisions. "You can't see the whole picture when you're inside the frame"—how external coaching provides crucial perspective. 12:27 – The Impact of Early Financial Education How childhood lessons about money shape financial habits. The contrast between scarcity vs. abundance mindsets in financial upbringing. Lessons learned from past generations, including those who lived through the Great Depression. 14:49 – Timeless Principles in Baseball & Finance The game of baseball has remained largely the same for over a century—just like financial fundamentals. Human behavior cycles through fear and greed, much like the ups and downs of the market. The importance of having a long-term perspective and not reacting emotionally to short-term financial fluctuations. 17:27 – The Importance of Visualization & Mindset Skip Bertman's coaching philosophy and the power of mental rehearsal. Envisioning financial success just as athletes visualize their victories. The "retirement party" exercise from The Runway Decade book—defining what success looks like before it happens. 22:46 – Conclusion & Call to Action "If it is to be, it's up to me." – The importance of personal responsibility in financial success. Encouragement for listeners to take proactive steps in their financial planning. Connect with Bill and Pete at HorizonFG.com or TheRunwayDecade.com. Sound Bites: "Expectations are pretty high for the LSU Tigers." "You can't hold up the mirror to yourself and see it." "Money is talked about in terms of scarcity or abundance." "If it is to be, it's up to me." Final Thoughts: This episode highlights the deep connection between baseball and financial planning, demonstrating how teamwork, coaching, and strategic thinking apply to both. Whether you're a baseball fan, an investor, or someone navigating financial decisions, the lessons from this discussion will help you step up to the plate with confidence.

What if we told you we're going back to the Midnights era? For this season of The Taylor Seminars, we're going to examine the tracks of the 2024 Album of the Year Midnights by Taylor Swift. But before we dive into the album, we need to do some context. That's why for this pre-Midnights episode, Exquisite and Hannah discuss two songs that have not been released on a Taylor Swift album: "Renegade," in which Taylor collaborates with Big Red Machine and "You're Losing Me," which was released during the Eras tour, was written in 2021 (!!!), and released as a separate Midnights vault track (but not on any of the deluxe albums). Listen in so you can see why these two songs are crucial for understanding Midnights--and why they're both amazing songs and standouts in Taylor's discography.
