October 23, 1993 The sixth game in the Toronto Blue Jays -- Philadelphia Phillies World Series was a rematch between Game 2 starters Terry Mulholland and Dave Stewart. Toronto scored in the bottom of the first on a Paul Molitor triple, Joe Carter sacrifice fly, and Roberto Alomar RBI single. Paul Molitor added a solo home run in the fifth inning while the Toronto fans were chanting "MVP" for Paul, bringing the score to 5--1 for Toronto. Ultimately, Molitor became the first player in World Series history to have at least two home runs, two doubles, and two triples.In the seventh inning, Philadelphia fought back with five runs to take a 6--5 lead. The big hit of the inning was a Lenny Dykstra three-run homer. The inning brought an end to Stewart's night, leaving the game with six innings pitched and four runs given up. Philadelphia closer, Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams came on to pitch the bottom of the ninth with his team clinging to a 6--5 lead. After beginning the inning by walking Rickey Henderson, Williams tried to counter Henderson's speed by using a slide-step pitching delivery. This was the first time in his career he used the slide step and his pitch speed may have been decreased as a result. The walk to Henderson was followed by a Devon White fly out and Paul Molitor would single, moving Henderson to second. Joe Carter came up next and with the count 2--2, he hit a three-run home run to win the game and the World Series crown. That pitch allowed Blue Jays radio announcer Tom Cheek the opportunity to utter his famous quote "Touch 'em all, Joe" when Joe Carter ended the series. Carter joined Bill Mazeroski as one of the only two players to win a World Series with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of the deciding game.

October 13, 1960 – With the World Series between the Yankees and Pirates knotted at 3 games apiece, Game 7 at Pittsburgh's cavernous Forbes Field would provide one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history. In the top of the 9th, with a 9-7 lead the Pirates sent eighteen game winner Bob Friend to the mound but the Yankees would manage to tie things up. The Yankees would send Ralph Terry to the mound in the bottom of the 9th to face Pirate 2nd baseman Bill Mazeroski and with a 1-0 count Mel Allen's call of the game tells the rest: “There's a drive into deep left field, look out now… that ball is going, going gone! And the World Series is over! Mazeroski… hits it over the left field fence, and the Pirates win it 10-9 and win the World Series!”As the Pirates erupted, the Yankees stood across the field in stunned disbelief. The improbable champions were outscored, outhit, and outplayed, but had managed to pull out a victory anyhow. Years later, Mickey Mantle was quoted as saying that losing the 1960 series was the biggest disappointment of his career. The only loss, amateur or professional, he cried actual tears over. For Bill Mazeroski, it was the highlight.Bing Crosby, part owner of the Pirates, was too superstitious to watch the series live. Crosby hired a company to record the game and would only watch it a day later if the Pirates won. His tape of game 7 is the only recording of the 1960 series known to survive as television stations routinely taped over televised sporting events. The tape sat untouched for 49 years when it was found in Crosby's wine cellar in December of 2009. On November 13, 2010, for the 50th anniversary of the series winning home run, a gala emceed by Bob Costas was hosted in downtown Pittsburgh. The MLB Network would air the game and gala on December 15, 2010.

The Pittsburgh Pirates were the doormat of the National League for much of the 1950s but began to turn things around late in the decade. Through changes in the front office and management, the Bucs had their first winning season in a decade in 1958 but slipped to fourth place the following year. 1960: When the Pittsburgh Pirates Had Them All the Way is the story of that magical run, from spring training to a wild World Series against the New York Yankees. Wayne Stewart brings his love of baseball, plus extensive research and player interviews to the table in this comprehensive look at a unique team that won 95 games and then took the Yankees the distance. Shortstop Dick Groat earned the NL MVP Award, 20-game winner Vernon Law took Cy Young honors, and an outfielder named Roberto Clemente hit .314 with a then career-high 16 home runs. Players such as Harvey "The Kitten" Haddix, Roy Face, Hal Smith, and Bill Mazeroski made their respective marks; the latter was mostly a defensive specialist who hit the series-clinching homer. A native of Pittsburgh, Wayne Stewart grew up in Donora, Pennsylvania. The town produced several athletes who made it in the pros, including Stan Musial and Ken Griffey, Senior, and Junior (Stewart in fact was a high school teammate of the elder Griffey). Stewart is the author of a string of books on baseball, football and basketball, and has interviewed some of the biggest names in professional sports. "A must-read for every baseball fan." -- Vernon Law

John Kruk is a beloved sports personality and former MLB All-Star who played for the Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox. He was inducted into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2011. In this episode, Kruk talks about his love for his home state of West Virginia and why he proudly represents his roots even during Phillies broadcasts, which he provides color commentary. He also recounts a hilarious story where golf legend, Arnold Palmer, shared some valuable tips about his golf swing. Kruk's West Virginia background instilled humility and a strong work ethic, guiding him to the highest levels of baseball and into the television booth. His inspiring journey from a small-town kid to a sports icon shows how perseverance and embracing West Virginia roots can positively shape a person's life.

Terry could have been remembered only as the man who gave up Bill Mazeroski's legendary Series-winning homer in 1960, but he redeemed himself with an All-Star season in 1962 that was capped by an outstanding World Series.Terry came up with the Yankees in 1956, but was traded to Kansas City in June 1957 in the eight-player deal that exiled Billy Martin and brought Ryne Duren to New York. He went 4-11 the rest of the season for the seventh-place Athletics, but was reacquired by the Yankees in May 1959 after going 11-13 in 1958, impressive considering the lack of offensive and defensive support the A's offered. He went 10-8 in 1960 as the Yankees' fourth starter. He started and lost Game Four of the World Series to the Pirates, 3-2. After warming up five times while Bobby Shantz, who had a sore arm, pitched five valiant innings in relief, Terry finally relieved in the eighth inning of Game Seven with the Pirates in the midst of a go-ahead rally. He got the last out with no further damage, and the Yankees came back in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game at 9-9. But Terry surrendered a home run to Bill Mazeroski, the Pirates' first batter, on a 1-0 pitch: it might be the most famous homer in World Series history. It was Terry's second loss of the Series, and deprived manager Casey Stengel of one last World Championship.Terry emerged as New York's second-best pitcher in 1961 with an excellent 16-3 mark and a 3.15 ERA. He lost Game Two of the World Series 6-2, the Reds' only victory, but only two of the Reds' four runs off him were earned. Terry was hit hard in Game Five and departed after allowing three runs in 2.1 innings, but the Yankees had already scored six runs by that point and won 13-5.In 1962 Terry had the best season of his career and finally achieved World Series redemption. He went 23-12 with a 3.19 ERA and led the AL in wins, starts (39), and innings (298.2). He lost Game Two of the WS 2-0 as the Yankees managed only three hits, but finally garnered his first WS win in Game Five, a complete-game 5-3 victory. A three-day rain delay before Game Six allowed him to come back for Game Seven. Pitching a superb four-hit shutout, he won 1-0 after getting Willie McCovey to line right at second baseman Bobby Richardson with two out and two on.Terry went 17-15 in 1963 with a 3.22 ERA and led the AL with 37 starts and 18 complete games. He also showed the best control of his career, walking just 39 batters in 268 innings. He was only needed in relief in that year's World Series as the Yankees were swept by the Dodgers. Dropping to 7-11 in 1964, he was moved to the bullpen and then traded to Cleveland during the September pennant drive with Buddy Daley and $75,000 for Pedro Ramos, whose relief brilliance down the stretch was crucial to the Yankees' pennant. Terry rebounded to 11-6, 3.59 in 1965 but was out of the majors within two years. He went on to become a golf pro.Classic Broadcasts are old-time broadcasts that have been put together from various sources. Many are found on the Internet Archives in a raw form.

On June 30, 1972, journalist Clifford Evans interviewed President Richard Nixon in the White House for RKO General Broadcasting. This meeting was captured by recording devices in the Oval Office.Prior to this meeting, Evans had asked President Nixon to name his favorite baseball players during a June 22, 1972 press conference. President Nixon subsequently prepared a list and explanatory notes that were distributed via the Associated Press on June 30.In this conversation segment, President Nixon explains the process, methodology, and rationale for building his all-star teams, which included distinctions between pre-World War II and post-World War II rosters as well as American League and National League all-stars. He mentions working with son-in-law David Eisenhower at Camp David to generate the lists. President Nixon also discussed Lou Gehrig, whom he named “Most Courageous Baseball Player.” President Nixon references the movie, The Pride of the Yankees; Gehrig's farewell speech; and correspondence with Gehrig's widow, Eleanor. President Nixon also lauds Red Schoendienst's comeback after tuberculosis, recalling his own brother Harold's struggle with the disease. President Nixon then mentions Bill Mazeroski‘s grand slam performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1960 World Series, the crowd's response, and comparison to the teams of Pie Traynor‘s day. President Nixon also notes the 1951 “shot heard 'round the world” by New York Giants' Bobby Thomson against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Evans then ends the official RKO General broadcast.After the formal broadcast, the two men continue chatting, touching on New York Yankee Don Larsen‘s “perfect game” in the 1956 World Series as well as Los Angeles Dodger Sandy Koufax's breaking of the strike-out record in 1965. President Nixon ends by sharing the crowd's response at Dodger Stadium during Koufax's attempt for the record.Classic Broadcasts are old-time broadcasts that have been put together from various sources.

Hour 2: The Pirates championship drought is going on 43 years. Will they win another World Series in your lifetime? Callers gave their thoughts. Donny says he feels bad for Steve Bartman. One caller shares what it was like being around for Mazeroski's title-winning home run in 1960. Would the Pirates have won a World Series by now if Mark Cuban bought the team in 2005? We listened to clips of Guy Junker talking about Stan Savran.

Richard Hajas, chairman of the Casitas Municipal Water District, and a lifelong water industry veteran, has been through many drought-flood cycles in his life. Born in Ventura, he's lived in Ojai for 40 years, and is a former operations manager of two major water districts: Casitas Municipal Water District and Camrosa Water District in eastern Camarillo. He's built important projects, including the innovative Camrosa Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Conejo Creek Project, the largest water recycling project in the county. He's managed every aspect of watershed planning for both residential, prime farm land and rare wetlands. In 2007 he helped organize Ojai Flow, which brought to the ballot an initiative to wrest the sale of publicly traded Golden State Mutual Water Company to Casitas, a public entity answerable to voters. He's earned a B.A. and Master's in public administration from CSU-Northridge. He joins the podcast with good news and not-so-good news for listeners; the well-above average rains may bring Lake Casitas storage to nearly 75 percent capacity from below 30 percent after five long years of drought. Casitas has enough supply for many years with proper management and the looming threat of moving to onerous Stage IV drought restrictions was avoided. Richard leads a lively session with the history of water projects in America, the future of the state, and the trends and changes in Ojai's water use from farming to residential, and what that might mean for wildland fires and the next drought. We also talk about climate change, steelhead trout and eventually hooking up Ojai's closed system to the state water projects through either Santa Barbara or Ventura. We did not talk about Bill Mazeroski's heroic deeds for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1960 World Series, the Blue Lagoon in Iceland or Khazak eagle hunters.

EPISODE 136: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:41) The death of baseball's legendary television analyst Tim McCarver, easily one of the most beloved people in the sport, and in broadcasting. I knew him for 42 years and for whatever criticisms he took late in his career from listeners who didn't realize all the other ones were merely doing impressions of him, in 1983 he literally, personally, saved my love of the game. He was a pleasure to work with, and as I have been saying for 20 years, his insight in literally the last 60 seconds of the bottom of the 9th inning of the 7th Game of the most emotional season in baseball history was the television equivalent of Bill Mazeroski's home run to win the 1960 World Series. B-Block (19:55) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The Fox News texts are out. Tucker Carlson was afraid Trump would destroy them, but telling the truth about him would tank the stock price. He, Ingraham and Hannity all thought Rudy Giuliani was crazy. The News Chief tried to stop news. Perjury in the Trump Atlanta case? How many people did Senator Fetterman help yesterday? Now that he's proven he can live on his own, why is the Central Park Zoo setting a honey trap to re-capture Flaco the Owl? And can anyone stop the Killer Windows of Russia? (25:48) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Nikki Haley would struggle with the math part of her own Presidential Candidate Mental Competency Test, Ann Coulter makes you feel sympathy for Nikki Haley, and a German choreographer says: I am an artist and you have criticized me, so, I will now smear my dog's feces on your face. C-Block (31:50) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Falcon, Rio, Titan, Torino, and Tundra - five pups with Parvo in Texas (32:50) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: fittingly on the occasion of the loss of a great baseball broadcaster, Thurber's story that begins with the words of another great baseball broadcaster: "The Catbird Seat."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sculptor Susan Wagner joins Tim to talk about a life as an American sculptor, some of her iconic works, and the creative process.  Listen to Susan give insights into what it is about three-dimensional art, sculpture, that taps the human imagination, and draws us to it. She'll also talk about what it means to “dance with clay.” https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/American_Sculptor_auphonic.mp3 If you were to travel to the Vatican in Rome, or the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, or just about any major destination in the city of Pittsburgh, you may have seen Susan Wagner's work. She's a sculptor who focuses on classic depictions of famous and not so famous people. Art draws us to it. Whether it's a painting or a sculpture, it catches our attention and pulls us in. Whether it's modern, abstract or classic, depending on our tastes, and maybe just the mood we're in at the time, a certain piece of art may stop us in our tracks and make is look, and then think. Why is that?  That's what we'll be talking about today with Susan. Since this is a podcast, and you can only experience this through your ears, you cannot see everything we'll be discussing. We'll do our best to describe the subjects, but you can also see for yourself by visiting our episode page at ShapingOpinion.com, or go to Susan Wagner's website at Classic-Scultpure.com. I first met Susan recently when I was doing research for a project that I'm helping with. But I had seen her work before. If you live in Pittsburgh and travel to any of the hottest tourism destinations in the city, you'll see several of her works. She was commissioned to create larger than life versions of baseball greats Roberto Clemente, Bill Mazeroski and Willie Stargell. A short walk away, her sculpture of a police officer stands watch over the city at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. She's created historical figures, works depicting medical pioneers, saints, and others. But my favorite one, I have to admit, is a fictional figure of a little girl in a garden at Pittsburgh's UPMC's Passavant Hospital.

Her mastery of the human anatomy and her ability to capture likeness and convey emotion through both clay and canvas is evident in her sculpture and painting portfolios and truly what makes her works outstanding and unique. Susan's art is now displayed in public forums and private households around the world ─ from her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the Vatican. Susan's art and work ethic are heavily influenced by her roots in the Pittsburgh area. Her drive to create was evident at an early age, she remembers digging the red clay from newly bulldozed ground around her home and using it to make sculptures.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - DANA KING Dana King was born in New Kensington PA; the building is no longer a hospital. He spent the first four years of his life living in an apartment in Arnold PA; that building has since burned to the ground and is now a vacant lot. Dana grew up in Lower Burrell PA, which is still there, though everyone is nervous when he comes to visit. The first memory he can attach to a time and place is riding in the car to the new house on October 13, 1960, as Bill Mazeroski hit the home run that won the World Series. A classically-trained musician, Dana holds a Bachelor's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (no, not the other one), and a Master's in Trumpet Performance from New England Conservatory, where he studied with Charles Schlueter of the Boston Symphony.  ABOUT THE BOOK - WHITE OUT It's been a tough winter in Penns River and things aren't getting any better. A major snowstorm looms as a police officer shoots and kills a man after a bar fight. There are four complicating factors: 1. No weapon is found on the dead man. 2. The cop is Black; the victim is white. 3. The victim is not just white; he's a white supremacist. 4. A national leader of the movement wants to use Penns River to set an example and create a martyr for the cause. Fellow travelers from several neighboring states converge on the town for the funeral as an even bigger snowstorm roars in with them.

Ahead of the Yankees-Pirates series, Sweeny Murti is joined by Darren Mazeroski, son of Pirates 1960 World Series Hero and Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski. Darren is also the Pirates scout who signed Pittsburgh's 9th round pick in 2011, pitcher Clay Holmes.

Steve Blass is a Pittsburgh legend whose career with the Bucs spans a half a century both as an ace pitcher and then as one of the best broadcasters of his generation.   He and Sean take a trip down memory lane with some of the most amazing stories.   He poetically describes playing with Bill Mazeroski, Willie Stargell, and Roberto Clemente.   He takes us back to that horrible day when Clemente passed and how the team coped with it.   And he reminds us of the night the Pirates became the first team in MLB history to field an all-black lineup.   Plus, Steve Blass may be one of the funniest guests we've ever had on and that's saying a lot!  Match that with the legendary energy of The Mayor, Sean Casey, and you're in for a heck of a good time on this edition of The Mayor's Office!    As always, for the full broadcast experience head over to our Youtube page.   It would be awesome if you could like, subscribe and join us there as well!    Link below: https://youtu.be/2UNSnzfxDS8

The Pittsburgh Kid recalls his time with the Pirates from taking tips from Bill Mazeroski in Spring Training to listening to the roar of the blackout crowd at the 2013 Wild Card Game and beyond. Plus, the journey from a 52-win team in 2010 to the 98-win Wild Card team in 2015. All in all, it was always easy to root for Neil Walker.

Joe Carter (born March 7, 1960) was as an outfielder and first baseman for the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, and San Francisco Giants. Carter is best known for hitting a walk-off home run to win the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays, their second consecutive championship. Carter is one of only two players to end a World Series with a home run, the other being Bill Mazeroski. In Game 6, with the Blue Jays leading three games to two, Carter came to bat with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Blue Jays trailing 6–5 and Rickey Henderson and Paul Molitor on base. On a 2–2 count, Carter hit a three-run walk-off home run off Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams (against whom he had previously been 0–4 in his career) to win the World Series, only the second time a Series has ended with a home run (the other being in 1960, when Bill Mazeroski did it for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the New York Yankees), and the only time the home run has been hit by a player whose team was trailing in the bottom of the 9th inning in a potential championship clinching game. Upon hitting the home run, Carter jumped up and down many times, most notably while rounding first base, where his helmet came off. Tom Cheek, the Blue Jays' radio broadcaster, called the play: "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"(wikipedia)This is our fourth and final season of Radio Baseball Cards.

This week, 1971 World Series champion Dave Cash, who in his 12 year career, was a three-time All-Star, a lifetime .283 infielder for the Pirates, Phillies, Expos and Padres.

October 13, 1960 -- With the World Series between the Yankees and Pirates knotted at 3 games apiece, Game 7 at Pittsburgh's cavernous Forbes Field would provide one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history. In the top of the 9th, with a 9-7 lead, the Pirates sent eighteen game winner Bob Friend to the mound but the Yankees would manage to tie things up. The Yankees would send Ralph Terry to the mound in the bottom of the 9th to face Pirate 2nd baseman Bill Mazeroski and with a 1-0 count, Mel Allen's call of the game tells the rest: "There's a drive into deep left field, look out now... that ball is going, going gone! And the World Series is over! Mazeroski... hits it over the left field fence, and the Pirates win it 10-9 and win the World Series!" As the Pirates erupted, the Yankees stood across the field in stunned disbelief. The improbable champions were outscored, outhit, and outplayed, but had managed to pull out a victory anyhow. Years later, Mickey Mantle was quoted as saying that losing the 1960 series was the biggest disappointment of his career. The only loss, amateur or professional, he cried actual tears over. For Bill Mazeroski, it was the highlight. Bing Crosby, part owner of the Pirates, was too superstitious to watch the series live. Crosby hired a company to record the game and would only watch it a day later if the Pirates won. His tape of game 7 is the only recording of the 1960 series known to survive as television stations routinely taped over televised sporting events. The tape sat untouched for 49 years when it was found in Crosby's wine cellar in December of 2009. On November 13, 2010, for the 50th anniversary of the series-winning home run, a gala emceed by Bob Costas was hosted in downtown Pittsburgh. The MLB Network would air the game and gala on December 15, 2010.

A Special Episode this week as we will hear from 3 men involved in some of The Games most Historic HR Moments.

There's a LOT in here, but you won't want to stop listening.

Baseball fans know about the most 'famous' plays in the game's history. Babe Ruth's called shot (or was it?) in the 1932 World Series, Bill Mazeroski's WS-winning homer in 1960. And for Met fans, there's Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner. There's no specific corridor in the HOF for the more memorable plays although they do appear in random places. We talk about 6 memorable plays that are hall-worthy for different reasons.

Bobby Richardson was one of the pillars of the great Yankees teams of the late 1950’s and early ’60’s.  A member of 8 All-Star teams and a 5-time Gold Glove Award Winner, Richardson helped the Yankees to World Series Championships in 1958, 1961, and 1962.   On the latest "30 With Murti” podcast, Richardson looks back on the most famous moment of his career—catching the line drive off Willie McCovey’s bat for the final out of the 1962 World Series.  The only World Series MVP from a losing team (1960, when the Yankees lost to the Pirates on Bill Mazeroski’s famous home run), Richardson also explains why he traded in his prize Corvette for a station wagon.   At 84, Richardson still is a regular at Old-Timers Day and loves following the Yankees from his home in Sumter, South Carolina.

Bill Mazeroski's ninth-inning walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series gave the Pittsburgh Pirates one of the most dramatic championships baseball has ever seen. Veteran sportswriter Jay Greenberg recounts the story of the 'never say die' '60 Bucs and their epic victory over the New York Yankees.

The 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates, as he put it, were a team of destiny. Dick Groat, the National League’s Most Valuable Player that season, was one of many key contributors who led the Bucs to their first title in 35 years – culminating in the unforgettable Game 7 bottom-of-the-ninth home run off the bat of Bill Mazeroski. An MVP and two World Series rings are feats not many major leaguers get to experience. But Groat has an additional accomplishment on his athletic resume – a two-time All-American basketball player at Duke University and a short stint in the NBA before choosing to stick with baseball. That knowledge and love of basketball hasn’t left him, and is currently used in his long-standing position as radio analyst for the Pittsburgh Panthers.

My wife is a sports fan. Together, we have cheered from the stands at college football games and track meets, for local minor-league baseball clubs and hockey teams. We’ve spent Sunday afternoons watching the National Football League, October nights watching the World Series, and summer afternoons watching the World Cup. We once waited in line for hours for tickets to the national college basketball tournament, and another time we awoke in the early-morning darkness, while living in Europe, to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic hockey final. She has cheered, groaned, jumped from her seat in excitement, and slumped in despair. But now, after lifetime of following sports, she has declared that her days as a fan are coming to an end. What has brought this turn away from sports? It’s not the outrageous salaries or loutish behavior of athletes. It’s not scandals or cheating or excess. It’s her sons–our sons. At ages 14 and 11, our boys talk sports constantly. And they talk in obsessive detail, like typical males: statistics, standings, predictions, post-game analyses, historical debates, and hypothetical speculations. For my wife, who has been an athlete and a fan since childhood, the incessant talk is more than she can bear. My wife’s dilemma is common to female sports fans. As Andy Markovits and Emily Albertson explain in their new book, female fans think and talk about sports in a vastly different way than do male fans. Even the most avid women fans, whom Andy and Emily call “sportistas,” do not debate potential transfer signings, or recite from memory the announcer’s call from a classic match, or quiz each other on starting lineups from decades ago. Unfortunately, however, women who follow sports find that male fans use these kinds of conversations as an entrance requirement to their circle. “You don’t know who hit the winning home run in the 1960 World Series! How can you be a REAL fan?!!” Yet, even when a woman does know the name Bill Mazeroski, she still is not accepted.  Instead, the male fan sees her as a threat. Sportista: Female Fandom in the United States (Temple University Press, 2012) looks at the barriers that women fans face as they follow sports. Andy and Emily discuss the different ways that males and females talk about and consume sports and the roots of those differences. Their conclusions, based on interviews with women fans and sports journalists, match what my wife has discovered in our household. For her, sports are drama and entertainment and a spectacle of human accomplishment. For our sons, sports is life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We once waited in line for hours for tickets to the national college basketball tournament, and another time we awoke in the early-morning darkness, while living in Europe, to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic hockey final. She has cheered, groaned, jumped from her seat in excitement, and slumped in despair. But now, after lifetime of following sports, she has declared that her days as a fan are coming to an end. What has brought this turn away from sports? It’s not the outrageous salaries or loutish behavior of athletes. It’s not scandals or cheating or excess. It’s her sons–our sons. At ages 14 and 11, our boys talk sports constantly. And they talk in obsessive detail, like typical males: statistics, standings, predictions, post-game analyses, historical debates, and hypothetical speculations. For my wife, who has been an athlete and a fan since childhood, the incessant talk is more than she can bear. My wife’s dilemma is common to female sports fans. As Andy Markovits and Emily Albertson explain in their new book, female fans think and talk about sports in a vastly different way than do male fans. Even the most avid women fans, whom Andy and Emily call “sportistas,” do not debate potential transfer signings, or recite from memory the announcer’s call from a classic match, or quiz each other on starting lineups from decades ago. Unfortunately, however, women who follow sports find that male fans use these kinds of conversations as an entrance requirement to their circle. “You don’t know who hit the winning home run in the 1960 World Series! How can you be a REAL fan?!!” Yet, even when a woman does know the name Bill Mazeroski, she still is not accepted.  Instead, the male fan sees her as a threat. Sportista: Female Fandom in the United States (Temple University Press, 2012) looks at the barriers that women fans face as they follow sports. Andy and Emily discuss the different ways that males and females talk about and consume sports and the roots of those differences. Their conclusions, based on interviews with women fans and sports journalists, match what my wife has discovered in our household. For her, sports are drama and entertainment and a spectacle of human accomplishment. For our sons, sports is life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
