(May 14, 2025)In these parts of California, making under $100,000 means ‘low income.' ‘Original Sin' a damning portrait of an enfeebled Biden protected by his inner circle. Pete Rose & ‘Shoeless' Joe Jackson removed from MLB's permanently ineligible list. How many adults still get money from their parents in 2025?
If you're a baseball fan, yesterday's biggest news didn't happen on the field; it came from the commissioner's office. Yesterday, they announced that 17 players previously banned from baseball are being reinstated. The catch: all of these former players were deceased. The real story is that with this change, both Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, from the 1919 Black Sox scandal, are now eligible for the Hall of Fame. After being banned in 1989 for betting on baseball, Pete Rose did everything he could to get reinstated. He tried for three decades to no avail. But now that he has passed, he'll finally come up for a vote this Summer...

Here's a brief teaser for season 3, where I open with a 3-part series on the fascinating 1919 Black Sox scandal and the endless myths that surround the event. I also describe a review contest and some of the prizes I'll be giving away.
On the second installment of Friday Flicks, the CHGO White Sox crew reviews the 1988 film “Eight Men Out” starring John Cusack, Charlie Sheen and who's who of Hollywood that guys. What was learned about the 1919 Black Sox scandal from the film? Should Eddie Cicotte and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson be enshrined in the Hall of Fame? Sean Anderson, Herb Lawrence and Vinnie Duber do their best Siskel & Ebert impressions on the CHGO White Sox Podcast.
Prior to Babe Ruth and Judge Landis, perhaps no person was as synonymous with baseball as Ban Johnson, the visionary who founded the American League, outfought the National League, and ran the National Baseball Commission until the Black Sox scandal. But his tenure was not always a smooth one, and he was not well liked. So much so that 104 years ago this week, the Yankees, Red Sox, and White Sox all tried to abandon the AL and form a super Senior Circuit with the NL teams. While that plan was thwarted, it signalled the beginning of the end for Johnson's reign, which Mike and Bill look back at this week. Plus, happy birthday to Tommy Leach and Jim McCormick! And farewell to Bob Blaylock and Wayne Graham.

The infamous cheating scandal from the 1919 World Series, between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds, broke America's belief in the purity and innocence of baseball. As the story slowly unfolded, it became filled with all the colorful characters you'd expect from 1920s America: baseball players with catchy nicknames, short-tempered gangsters/gamblers immaculately dressed in business pinstripe suits, newspaper reporters and radio broadcasters with flowery descriptions of the trial as if itself was a baseball game, and even New York mob boss Arnold Rothstein, who was alleged (but never proven …) to be the impetus of the scandal. Unfortunately, the Black Sox trial transcripts were lost long ago, requiring modern-day historians to rely on newspaper reports of trial testimony, which sometimes were sensationalized for their readers and at other times were directly contrary to one another. From this reality, admittedly many of the facts about the scandal we examine in this episode are (true to this show's title) In Dispute.

Author Scott H. Longert joins the show this week to talk about his latest book, "Love and Loss: The Short Life of Ray Chapman" (Ohio Univ. Press 2024). Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman was hit by a pitched ball in the temple during a ballgame against the Yankees at the Polo Grounds on August 16, 1920. He succumbed to his injuries the next morning. He is the only player in Major League history to die from injuries sustained during an MLB ballgame. Longert's book examines Chapman's idyllic life and his sudden, tragic death, combining detailed research with compassion for the ballplayer and his family, friends and teammates.

With Mike out on vacation and the annual SABR convention just on the horizon, it's a great time to revisit one of our earliest episodes with our favorite person from SABR, Jacob Pomrenke (@buckweaver), on the 103rd anniversary of the start of the Black Sox trial.
This Day in Legal History: Black Sox Scandal Jury SelectionOn July 5, 1921, jury selection commenced for one of the most infamous trials in baseball history: the Chicago "Black Sox" trial. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox, including the legendary "Shoeless Joe" Jackson, stood accused of conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. The scandal shocked the nation, casting a shadow over America's beloved pastime and questioning the integrity of the sport.The players were charged with accepting bribes from gamblers in exchange for intentionally losing the series. The trial attracted immense public and media attention, with fans eagerly following every development. Despite compelling evidence and confessions from some players, the jury ultimately acquitted all eight defendants.However, the acquittal did not mean exoneration in the eyes of baseball's governing bodies. Newly appointed Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis took decisive action to restore the sport's integrity. On August 3, 1921, Landis issued a lifetime ban on all eight players involved in the scandal, regardless of the trial's outcome.The "Black Sox" trial remains a significant moment in legal and sports history, illustrating the complex interplay between law, ethics, and professional sports. The trial's legacy endures, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of corruption and the importance of maintaining trust in public institutions.A federal judge rejected Boehringer Ingelheim's attempt to block the Biden administration's Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, which aims to reduce prescription drug costs. Chief Judge Michael P. Shea ruled against all of Boehringer Ingelheim's claims, stating the program is constitutional. The case centered on whether the Inflation Reduction Act's provision forcing drug companies to agree to a maximum fair price for selected drugs violates constitutional rights.Boehringer Ingelheim argued that the program infringed on the First Amendment (compelled speech), Fifth Amendment (due process and takings clauses), Eighth Amendment (excessive fines), the Administrative Procedure Act, and the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. However, Judge Shea determined that participation in Medicare and Medicaid is voluntary, even if economically incentivized, and the federal government can place conditions on participation in its programs. He clarified that Boehringer Ingelheim was not deprived of property interest since it had the option to withdraw before any data submission was required.Regarding the First Amendment claim, Shea found no support in precedent, likening required communications to standard price regulations. On the Eighth Amendment claim, he noted that Boehringer Ingelheim could not demonstrate a likelihood of success as the argument was novel and lacked precedent.The case, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, highlights ongoing legal challenges to the Biden administration's health plan, specifically targeting the reduction of high drug prices under the Inflation Reduction Act. The key issue here is the First Amendment argument, which was a central but unsupported claim in this case. Judge Shea's ruling emphasized that required communications for regulatory compliance do not constitute compelled speech under the First Amendment.Judge Tosses Boehringer Bid to Block Biden Drug Price PlanThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) faced a significant legal challenge when a Texas federal judge halted its rule banning noncompete clauses across the U.S. Judge Ada Brown sided with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a Texas tax firm, arguing that the FTC exceeded its authority. This decision, following recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agency powers, underscores the difficulties the FTC may encounter in implementing new regulations.The FTC's noncompete rule, which was to take effect on September 4, would have impacted around 30 million U.S. workers by prohibiting noncompete clauses that restrict job mobility within the same industry. FTC Chair Lina Khan has been advocating for broader antitrust regulation, including labor markets, but faced opposition from major business groups.This rule, adopted in April with a narrow 3-2 vote, was a rare move for the FTC, which has traditionally addressed competition issues through legal actions rather than broad rulemaking. Despite the FTC's assertion that it has the authority to issue such a rule, Brown ruled that the FTC Act of 1914 does not permit the agency to create substantive rules on unfair competition.Legal experts noted that the FTC's limited history with rulemaking poses challenges for the agency, especially in light of recent Supreme Court decisions that reduce judicial deference to regulatory interpretations. This context complicates the FTC's efforts to enforce the noncompete ban, potentially leading to further legal battles.Brown's ruling referenced the recent Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overturned the Chevron deference principle, further complicating regulatory actions by the FTC. While this particular decision was limited to the plaintiffs in the case, it sets a precedent that could hinder future FTC regulations.FTC Noncompete Ban Freeze Signals Tough Legal Road for AgencyUS judge partially blocks FTC ban on worker noncompete agreements | ReutersA liberal group, Accountable.US, filed a complaint with the Washington DC Attorney General alleging that the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), a nonprofit organization employing former White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows, improperly funneled money to cover Meadows' legal bills related to investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The complaint states that CPI gave a $1.2 million grant to Personnel Policy Operations (PPO), another nonprofit, which then transferred $1.1 million to the Constitutional Rights Defense Fund to fund legal defenses for Trump allies, including Meadows.Accountable.US argues that CPI's actions violate its nonprofit status, which requires operations to benefit the public, not partisan operatives. The complaint calls for the dissolution of CPI and PPO, claiming they serve private interests rather than public purposes. The DC Attorney General has the authority to dissolve nonprofits that fail to operate in the public interest.CPI, a key organization in conservative circles preparing for a potential second Trump administration, paid Meadows a substantial salary in 2022. The complaint underscores that nonprofits must not engage in political campaigning or private benefit operations to maintain their tax-exempt status. Additionally, another liberal group, Campaign for Accountability, previously filed a similar complaint with the IRS against CPI.The takeaway here is the requirement for nonprofits to operate for public benefit to retain tax-exempt status. This case raises questions about whether CPI and PPO violated these rules by financially supporting Meadows and other Trump allies.Mark Meadows Nonprofit Funneled Cash for Legal Bills, Group SaysA $170 million legal fee request from lawyers at Grant & Eisenhofer and three other firms remains unresolved after a Brooklyn federal judge rejected their antitrust settlement with Visa and Mastercard. The settlement, following nearly 20 years of litigation, aimed to reduce the interchange fees merchants pay for credit card transactions. Visa and Mastercard would have paid up to $113.3 million and $56.6 million, respectively, to cover the legal fees if the settlement was approved.Judge Margo Brodie ruled that the settlement did not sufficiently address the merchants' concerns, despite agreeing with the fee request terms. She argued that Visa and Mastercard could withstand a more substantial settlement, noting that merchants paid $100 billion in interchange fees in 2023 alone. The proposed agreement would have marginally reduced swipe fees and imposed caps for five years but still required merchants to honor all Visa and Mastercard transactions.The ruling means lawyers must renegotiate better terms with Visa and Mastercard, extending the timeline for any resolution. Despite rejecting the settlement, Brodie's decision cannot be appealed and would be difficult to overturn.Opposition to the settlement came from major retailers and trade groups, who deemed it inadequate. The National Retail Federation, while not yet addressing the legal fee request, expressed broader concerns over the deal.In related legal fee news, Tesla and the legal team that voided Elon Musk's $56 billion stock options will argue over compensation, with the plaintiffs seeking around $7 billion, contrasting Tesla's suggestion of $13.6 million. Additionally, firms involved in a $48 million settlement with Progressive over undervalued wrecked cars seek up to $16 million in fees, and Hagens Berman and Cohen Milstein were awarded $51.6 million in a chicken price-fixing case.Legal Fee Tracker: Lawyers' $170 million payday in limbo in credit card swipe fee case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by John Philip Sousa.This week's closing theme features the renowned American composer and conductor, John Philip Sousa. Known as "The March King," Sousa is celebrated for his extraordinary contributions to military and patriotic music. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1854, Sousa's career spanned more than five decades, during which he composed over 130 marches, as well as numerous operettas, suites, songs, and waltzes. His music epitomizes the spirit and vibrancy of American patriotism, making him a household name and a significant figure in American music history.Sousa began his musical journey at a young age, joining the U.S. Marine Band as an apprentice when he was only 13. He later became the band's conductor, elevating its status to the finest military band in the country. After leaving the Marine Band, Sousa formed his own civilian band, which gained international fame and toured extensively. His impact on American music extends beyond composition; he also championed music education and the development of the sousaphone, a marching band instrument named in his honor.Today, we highlight one of his most famous marches, "The Liberty Bell." Composed in 1893, this piece is instantly recognizable and has been used in various contexts, including as the theme for the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus." "The Liberty Bell" was originally intended for an operetta that never came to fruition, but it found new life as a standalone march. The piece is a perfect example of Sousa's ability to blend melodic ingenuity with rousing rhythmic patterns, capturing the essence of American optimism and pride.

"Field of Dreams," directed by Phil Alden Robinson and released in 1989, is a film that transcends the boundaries of sports and delves into the heart of human experience. Starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, and Burt Lancaster in his final film role, this cinematic gem explores themes of redemption, the power of belief, and the importance of following one's dreams. Set against the backdrop of America's favourite pastime, baseball, "Field of Dreams" is not just a movie about the sport; it's a poignant story about family, reconciliation, and the magic that can happen when you dare to dream.Plot SummaryThe story begins with Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), a novice Iowa farmer who lives with his wife, Annie (Amy Madigan), and their daughter, Karin (Gaby Hoffmann). Ray is haunted by the unresolved issues with his late father, John Kinsella, a baseball enthusiast who dreamed of becoming a professional player. Ray's peaceful life takes a dramatic turn when he hears a mysterious voice whispering, "If you build it, he will come." Despite the absurdity of the message, Ray interprets it as an instruction to build a baseball diamond in his cornfield, believing it will somehow bring back his father's spirit.Cinematography and VisualsJohn Lindley's cinematography captures the bucolic beauty of the Iowa landscape, transforming it into a timeless, almost mythical place where the impossible becomes possible. The scenes of the baseball diamond at dusk, with its perfectly manicured grass and ethereal lighting, evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The visual contrast between the golden cornfields and the lush green of the baseball field symbolises the intersection of reality and fantasy, grounding the film's magical realism in a tangible world.Character DevelopmentKevin Costner's portrayal of Ray Kinsella is a perfect blend of earnestness and vulnerability. His journey from scepticism to belief is the emotional core of the film. Costner's performance is subtle yet powerful, conveying Ray's internal struggle and ultimate redemption with a quiet intensity. Amy Madigan's Annie is a supportive and fiery counterpart, providing comic relief and grounding the story in reality. Her unwavering belief in Ray's vision is a testament to the strength of their relationship.James Earl Jones delivers a standout performance as Terence Mann, a reclusive author who becomes an unlikely ally in Ray's quest. Initially cynical and disillusioned, Mann's character undergoes a transformation that parallels Ray's, culminating in a poignant speech about the enduring power of baseball. Ray Liotta's portrayal of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is haunting and enigmatic, embodying the unresolved injustices of the past. In his final role, Burt Lancaster brings a touching grace to the character of Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham, a man whose dreams of playing baseball were never realised.Themes and Symbolism"Field of Dreams" has rich themes that resonate deeply with audiences. The film explores the concept of redemption, not just for individuals but for entire communities. The ghostly baseball players who emerge from the cornfield represent not only the past legends but also the dreams and aspirations that never came to fruition. Ray's act of building the baseball field becomes a form of penance, a way to atone for his estrangement from his father and to honour the unfulfilled dreams of others.The film also delves into belief and the courage to follow one's dreams, even when they seem irrational or impossible. Ray's leap of faith in building the baseball diamond is a powerful metaphor for the risks we take in pursuing our passions. The voice that guides Ray is never fully explained, adding to the film's mystical quality and leaving the interpretation open to the audience.Historical and Cultural Significance"Field of Dreams" is steeped in American cultural history, particularly the lore of baseball. Including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the Black Sox Scandal of 1919 adds historical depth to the story. The film pays homage to baseball as a unifying force in American culture, a sport that connects generations and embodies the nation's spirit.The movie's release in 1989 coincided with a renewed interest in baseball films, with other notable releases like "Major League" and "Eight Men Out." However, "Field of Dreams" stands out for its introspective and philosophical approach, appealing to sports fans and those who appreciate good human drama.Impact and LegacyOver three decades since its release, "Field of Dreams" has cemented its status as a classic, continually referenced in popular culture and often cited as one of the greatest sports movies ever made. Its famous line, "If you build it, he will come," has entered the lexicon, symbolising the power of belief and the magic of dreams.The film's impact extends beyond the screen; the actual field built for the movie has become a tourist destination in Dyersville, Iowa, drawing fans worldwide eager to experience the magic. Major League Baseball even hosted a "Field of Dreams" game in 2021, bringing the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox to play in a specially constructed stadium near the original film set, further testament to the film's enduring legacy."Field of Dreams" is a film that speaks to the dreamer in all of us. Its blend of magical realism, heartfelt performances, and profound themes creates a timeless story that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. By intertwining the simple joys of baseball with the complexities of human emotion, it reminds us of the importance of following our dreams and the possibility of finding redemption along the way. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or simply a lover of great cinema, "Field of Dreams" is a movie that will leave you believing in the impossible and cherishing the power of dreams.Check out the new website and leave us a message or a voicemail.https://www.borntowatch.com.au/Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below. https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Opening Day - Gambling & Charlie Hustle w/ Keith O'Brien + History of the World Series by Tyler Kepler NYT Baseball Writer AZ TRT S05 EP14 (229) 4-7-2024 What We Learned This Week Gambling Scandal parallels of Pete Rose vs Dodger's Shohei Othani Charlie Hustle the icon - Rise & Fall Business of Baseball - Drafting Players to Analytics & how the Game has evolved History of the World Series - Did Babe Ruth call his shot? Guest: Keith O'Brien Website: https://keithob.com/ Keith is the New York Times best-selling author of Paradise Falls, Fly Girls, and Outside Shot, a finalist for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, and an award-winning journalist. O'Brien has written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Politico, and his stories have also appeared on National Public Radio and This American Life. He lives in New Hampshire. About the Book “CHARLIE HUSTLE: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball” Pete Rose bounded out of the dugout like a hurricane spinning unfettered through the world. He slid head-first into bases in a mist of dust and fury. He sprinted out walks like a teenager. He was loud. Brash. Supremely confident. Entirely focused. He approached every game with ferocity and raw emotion—often like he was in the middle of a bar room brawl—and endeared himself to the fans because of it. He seemed to manufacture runs out of pure will power. He racked up mind-boggling stats and awards and streaks and wins and pennants and titles with seeming ease. When his team needed clutch hits, he provided them. When glory was 90 feet away, he reached for it. He bowled over catchers at home plate, shouted at pitchers to intimidate them, and ripped through middle infielders to break up the play. He would beat them all. One way or another. Pete Rose would never back down. Could never back down. This spring, author Keith O'Brien and Pantheon Books will present the gritty and gripping new biography of the flawed legend—baseball's tragic character—the man who could never return to the game he lived to play: “CHARLIE HUSTLE: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball” (Pantheon Books, March 26, 2024). It is a story unlike any other in baseball history. A story of virtuosity and success; addictions and secrets; recklessness and many missed opportunities for salvation. For over 25 years in Major League Baseball—from 1963 to 1989—Pete Rose was the sport's unquestioned hero on the field. He was the heart of the Big Red Machine dynasty in Cincinnati. Rookie of the Year in 1963. MVP in 1973. He won three batting titles. Two gold gloves. Six National League pennants. Three World Series titles. He was named to 17 NL All-Star games at five different positions. He became the all-time hit king in the process, surpassing the legendary Ty Cobb. He was extraordinary while seemingly ordinary in equal measure, and the fans loved him for what they knew to be true. Pete Rose wasn't physically gifted or a particularly special athlete. He was like the rest of us. He was Charlie Hustle. The American Dream in red stirrup socks. Baseball personified. With bat in hand, Pete Rose was the hero, forever young, forever relevant, but a storm was coming. Yes, Rose was both a miracle and a disaster. His opponents viewed him with both reverence and disdain. While some of them believed that his Charlie Hustle routine was a joke or that his aggressive antics were just plain dangerous, they respected his greatness and his longevity in the game. There was no doubt that he often came off as uneducated, unpolished, boorish, and rude, but most figured that he had earned the right to his “unique” perspective over the years. But then the rumors started to circulate that he was mingling with an unsavory crowd. Shady characters that included well-known bookies and gamblers. It wasn't a secret that Rose had always been a gambler, but now there was growing evidence that he was betting on the sport that had made him a household name. With the 1919 Black Sox scandal looming as the cautionary tale still fresh in the game's history, this growing storm threatened to destroy everything Rose had built. He could lose his livelihood and the game itself. It could strip away the mythology and dismantle the icon and reveal the very flawed human being he was off the field. So he did the only thing Pete Rose could do in the face of overwhelming evidence and his impending exile. He lied. And continued to lie for 15 long years. CHARLIE HUSTLE also covers: * His fraught relationship with his father—Pete Rose Sr.—the semi pro, Cincinnati sports legend * How Rose overcame his lack of athleticism as a child with the intangibles that personified “Charlie Hustle” * The terms of his first professional contract—enthusiastically signing for $7000 * His early seasons of darkness in the lowest rungs of professional baseball * The public relations bonanza when the local West High boy made the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day roster * Rose's long relationship with the city of Cincinnati * His courtship and marriage to Karolyn Ann Engelhardt, which ended in divorce in 1979 * Rose's batting philosophies and the roots of his unusual crouching batting stance * Rose's early entrees into gambling at spring training in Tampa—his infamous “triple headers” * How Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford came up with his “Charlie Hustle” nickname and how they had intended it to be an insult * Rose's game-winning run in the 1970 All Star Game and how he and Ray Fosse were dinner companions the night before * How "The Big Red Machine”—the nearly unbeatable Cincinnati Reds dynasty of the 1970s—took shape * The details surrounding Rose's affair with a girl half his age—a teenager—in the mid-1970s * The early divide and rivalry between Pete Rose and teammate Johnny Bench * The revelation that Tony Perez was the true leader in the locker room for those Reds dynasty teams * Rose's rivalry with the Oakland A's ace Jim “Catfish” Hunter during the 1972 World Series * Rose's dust up with Bud Harrelson in the 1973 NLCS which left the Reds players fearful for their safety * How Curt Flood's fight for free agency affected Pete's contract negotiations during the era * Rose's relentless pursuit of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in the summer of 1978 * His brazen longtime affair with a woman named Terry Rubio, who would ultimately file a paternity suit against Rose * Rose's incomprehensible ability to play extremely well while going through all manners of personal turmoil * Rose's role as savior of the Philadelphia Phillies, a team that had never won a World Series, but soon would in 1980 after signing Rose as a free agent in 1979 * The details surrounding Rose's single off of San Diego Padres' pitcher Eric Show for hit number 4,192 * The rumors that Rose had been using a corked bat in his later years and may have even used them for his march to the hits record * Background on the shady collection of bookies, railbirds, lackeys, dope dealers, and gofers who surrounded Rose in those later years * The evidence that not only was Pete Rose a gambler, but a terrible gambler—he lost a lot * How and why a manager betting on his home team harms the game * The self-deprecating, chain-smoking academic from Yale University—A. Bartlett Giamatti—whose handling of the scandal as the Commissioner of Baseball was a master class in crisis management * How an impending Sports Illustrated story about Pete Rose betting on baseball backed to baseball into a corner in how it dealt with the matter * How if Pete Rose had admitted to betting on baseball in an initial meeting with Peter Ueberroth, Bart Giamatti, and Fay Vincent, he most likely would have incurred a light punishment * The release of the Dowd Report, and the background of its special counsel, John Dowd * The details surrounding Bart Giamatti's death in 1989 * The Baseball Hall of Fame's response to Pete Rose's candidacy * How, in 2004, he published a book where he admitted to betting on baseball and on the Cincinnati Reds * How reinstatement eluded him—in 2004, 2015, 2020, and 2022—and, if anything, his situation grew worse * Theories why Rose hasn't I been forgiven to date * Baseball's ever-evolving relationship with sports gambling and what that means for Pete Rose and for the future of the sport * The six simple words that might have changed everything: “I'm sorry I bet on baseball.” New York Times bestselling author Keith O'Brien grew up in Cincinnati when Pete Rose was at the peak of his fame and witnessed his shocking downfall first-hand. More than three decades later, it's hard to appreciate how much the controversy became such a part of the American conversation. The mythology surrounding Pete Rose was so fixed and strong that the disgust, frustration, pity, and confusion that followed his banishment stirred endless debates about the man, the allegations he faced, and, in turn, about the game of baseball itself as arbiter. Rose quickly became a fault line in the collective American conscience, and it clearly marked the end of the age of innocence in sports. O'Brien documents all of this like never before in CHARLIE HUSTLE, with unprecedented reporting and access. He met with Rose in person and they spoke on the record for 27 hours, before Rose stopped calling back, before he shut down. O'Brien is the only biographer that Rose has ever spoken to when he didn't have any editorial control. Beyond those conversations, O'Brien delved into thousands of pages of previously unutilized federal court documents, newly released FBI files, raw TV footage, decades of newspaper articles, Major League Baseball's voluminous 1989 investigation into Rose's misdeeds; and nearly 150 hours of interviews with Rose's friends, enemies, former teammates, family members, two former Commissioners of baseball, three people who placed his bets, four different investigators who dug up his secrets, and the special counsel who led the charge, John Dowd. Pete Rose loved baseball and wanted to play forever. Keep hitting forever. Never grow old. Never stop swinging. Never go home. But the same qualities that made him a successful baseball player—and one of the greatest hitters of all time—ensured his banishment. He couldn't be vulnerable. Couldn't beg for forgiveness. Or even apologize until it was far too late. Doomed by his own ignorance and hubris, Pete Rose was going down. Guest: TYLER KEPNER Website: https://www.nytimes.com/by/tyler-kepner Tyler is the author of the New York Times bestseller K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches. He has covered every World Series game of the last two decades for The New York Times. He started his career as a teenager, interviewing players for a homemade magazine in the early 1990s. He attended Vanderbilt University on the Grantland Rice/Fred Russell sportswriting scholarship, then covered the Angels for the Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise and the Mariners for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He joined The New York Times in 2000, covering the Mets for two seasons, the Yankees for eight, and serving as the national baseball writer since 2010. From the New York Times bestselling author of K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, a highly entertaining, revelatory history of the World Series, filled with gripping behind-the-scenes stories from 117 years of the Fall Classic. The World Series is the most enduring showcase in American team sports. It's the place where legends are made, where celebration and devastation can hinge on a fly ball off a foul pole or a grounder beneath a first baseman's glove. And there's no one better to bring this rich history to life than New York Times national baseball columnist Tyler Kepner, whose bestselling book about pitching, K, was lauded as “Michelangelo explaining the brush strokes on the Sistine Chapel” by Newsday. In seven scintillating chapters, Kepner delivers an indelible portrait of baseball's signature event. He digs deep for essential tales dating back to the beginning in 1903, adding insights from Hall of Famers like Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, Jim Palmer, Dennis Eckersley and many others who have thrived – and failed – when it mattered most. Why do some players, like Madison Bumgarner, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz, crave the pressure? How do players handle a dream that comes up short? What's it like to manage in the World Series, and what are the secrets of building a champion? Kepner celebrates unexpected heroes like Bill Wambsganss, who pulled off an unassisted triple play in 1920, probes the mysteries behind magic moments (Did Babe Ruth call his shot in 1932? How could Eckersley walk Mike Davis to get to Kirk Gibson in 1988?) and busts some long-time myths (the 1919 Reds were much better than the Black Sox, anyway). The result is a vivid portrait of baseball at its finest and most intense, filled with humor, lore, analysis and fascinating stories. THE GRANDEST STAGE is the ultimate history of the World Series, the perfect gift for all the fans who feel their hearts pounding in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game Seven. https://www.nytimes.com/by/tyler-kepner @TylerKepner https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634030/the-grandest-stage-by-tyler-kepner/?ref=PRHC184D6440 Notes: Tyler Kepner wrote the grander stage the history of the World Series about baseballs October classic. Is the New York Times national baseball radar and has a background in being a bit writer for teams. He's originally from Philly. He was an intern at the Boston Globe and then the Washington post. Got a job out of college covering the Angels. Then got a job covering the Seattle Mariners for a newspaper in Seattle. In 2000 he got a job at the New York Times covering the mats for two years. Then he was covering the Yankees for eight years. 2010 he became the New York Times national baseball writer. Writing the book on the history of the World Series was a lifelong goal. He had written a previous book about pitching called K. The book was a three-year project to write. Tyler has covered 24 World Series dating back to 1998 as well as gone to two as a fan, 1983 series with the Phillies as a kid and then 1993. Tyler always follows good stories for his baseball writing. The 2022 baseball playoffs started in St. Louis to see about Albert polos last games. Then moved on to cover the New York Yankees. And then he's going to see the Seattle Mariners as they are in the playoffs for the first time in years. TV ratings for baseball have been decent. Still gets very good ratings in local markets. Baseball like other sports is still live programming and and they jam of TV. Sports creates appointment setting type TV. When you cover baseball as a rider, you will go to the ball park about 2 PM for a 7 PM game. He would mall around the stadium and clubhouse talk with players the manager may be the GM. Most days he's writing, with a deadline by the night time to be able to post by the next day. Player access in baseball is pretty open, it's an every day business and they give the media plenty of room to work. Tyler missed game seven of the 2001 World Series in Arizona versus the Yankees because of a family commitment. Baseball business as no hard salary cap, just some luxury taxes. It is expensive to build a team as you need free agents but also good scouting and player development. There's a lot of have and have Nots. Many of the smaller teams like the Oakland A's I've had player stolen by big teams like the Yankees or the Red Sox, almost acting like farm systems for the bigger teams. Baseball has changed over the years with the introduction of analytics and stats that now dominate the game. The teams that use at the best and can communicate the info to the players usually win. A great example of this is the GM of the Dodgers Andrew Friedman, who previously had been the GM of the Tampa Bay rays. Dodgers are well run team have a little bit of a small team mentality where they draft and develop players well, but also of the big resources and money to get the free agents. Teams have to convince the players how data will help their game. It isn't that hard since the new generation has been raised on their cell phones and data. The idea being a singing how are you can swing better, or what is a better pitch for a pitcher to use so that players can play well. Older guys in baseball lament the analytics and how it's changed the game. Amateur players understand how they have to do well on the metrics, and how hard they hit the ball, and swing playing in velocity. The older scouts and baseball people dislike the fact that it's not about moving the runner over in contact anymore. The game has evolved and the analytics and the data shows you what you need to do to win. Sports, including baseball is good for TV because it has live programming and people still watch live programming. Baseball games still may take longer but they still get OK national ratings and very good local ratings. Baseball is working on a little changes for more balls in the way and excitement. There is a lot of home runs and strikeouts right now. Baseball making some rule changes to affect us like regulating the shift and how the defense fields, changes to the baseball and maybe bigger bases to encourage base running aggressiveness in more stolen bases as examples. Billy Beane of Moneyball and the Oakland A's popularized baseball analytics and data. Been had a classic line I pay you to get on base, not to get caught stealing. No risky place. Tyler wanted to write World Series stories that people don't know. An example is what happened in the next game after Don Larsen throws a perfect game for the Dodgers. What happened to setup Kirk Gibson home run in 1988 vs As Tyler loves the art of pitching and the slider and the knuckleball. He had written a previous book K the history of baseball and 10 pitches. Did Babe Ruth call his shot? That is the legend, but it is not true. Babe Ruth told the Cubs he was going to do some thing, but did not point at offense. Back then the cubs pitchers would've thrown at Babe Ruth if he was showboating like that.

Shohei Ohtani is a 21st century superstar, but he's making folks look backwards – think the movie “Damn Yankees,” and the 1919 Black Sox gambling scandal. Plus, Donald Trump had a wild week: His appeal bond was slashed by $300 million, but he has a rendezvous with the Stormy Daniels jury, on tax day.
Eight Men Out (1988) is a dramatization of professional baseball's infamous Black Sox scandal, in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with gamblers to intentionally lose the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. The film, which was directed by John Sayles, is based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book, Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It recounts how a group of White Sox players conspired with an array of gamblers, including notorious underworld financier Arnold Rothstein (a/k/a “The Big Bankroll”), to throw the series in return for cash. After the Sox, who some consider one of the greatest baseball teams of all time, lose the series, suspicions grow that there had been a fix based on rumors and the nature of some players' poor performances. Eight players are charged with conspiracy and tried in Chicago in 1921. Although the players are all acquitted, baseball's new commissioner, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, banishes them all for life from baseball, a bold move that some believe saved the game of baseball, which was still in its relative infancy, and enabled it to become “America's pastime.” Debates around the events continue to this day, including over the level of involvement of some players and the draconian nature of the punishment.

Bill Lamb is our guest this week to discuss the sad and tragic Len Koenecke. Koenecke played three seasons for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the Great Depression. The Dodgers released Koenicke in September, 1935 while the team was in St. Louis and sent him home to New York by plane with two other players.

A World War II hero battles his way back to the mound and is given both rough and tender treatment by Ted Williams, a discussion of the Black Sox and the 14th Amendment, and the wildest pitching day in history fails to end a career. The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman, rotating cohosts Jesse Spector, Cliff Corcoran, and David Roth, and occasional guests discuss the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they'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?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3569757/advertisement

The story of baseball's Black Sox scandal, when a group of ballplayers conspired with gamblers to throw the 1919 World Series, has been the subject of countless books and articles—not to mention at least two Hollywood movies. But what's now largely forgotten is a subsequent civil trial when one of those ballplayers, the famed "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, dragged his former team to court. However, that trial is forgotten no more with the recent publication of the unabridged court transcripts, once believed to be lost to time. The transcripts, edited by historians Jacob Pomrenke and David Fletcher, show how Jackson sued the Chicago White Sox for back pay and actually won in front of a jury, only to have the judge hearing the case nullify the verdict and then convict Jackson of perjury. Pomrenke and Fletcher join this episode of our weekly podcast, On The Merits, to talk about why Jackson went to court, how the trial went so wrong for him, and how they came across the long-lost transcripts. They also talk about the relevance of the Black Sox scandal today, when sports gambling is more pervasive than it's ever been. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

Play ball!~~~You've heard of the “Curse of the Bambino”, “Curse of the Billy Goat”, and even “Merkle's Boner.“ But the case that changed baseball forever was The 1919 World Series Scandal, better known as ”The Black Sox Scandal," because it was discovered that players were betting against their own team!Ray teaches Rob about players like “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, “Buck” Weaver, and “Chick” Gandil, who, when they'd had enough of their manager, Charles Comisky, engaged in the first major baseball scandal; the naming of the first commissioner of baseball, Judge Kennesaw Mountain (yes, you read that correctly); the theory that famous gambler, Arnold Rothstein, was behind the fix; how baseball redeemed itself; and honestly, what's with all of these nicknames?!?If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

Scandal beset baseball's biggest contest on 9th October, 1919, when members of the Chicago White Sox conspired to lose the World Series to underdogs the Cincinnati Reds, in return for a slice of gambling profits. There had been numerous attempts to fix high-profile games before, but the ‘Black Sox' affair was the first time America at large became aware of dodgy dealings behind-the-scenes - and the outrage rocked the country. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the role of notorious gangster Arnold Rothstein; question whether White Sox players were in fact underpaid in the era; and explain why the lines between truth and fiction were deliberately blurred in ‘Eight Men Out', Eliot Asinof's 1963 book about the case...

August 2, 1979, 32-year-old Thurman Munson of the New York Yankees is killed in the crash of his private plane in Canton, Ohio. The following day the Yankees will honor their captain before their game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fans will give Munson, who helped the Yankees to titles in 1977 and 1978, a thundering 10-minute ovationAugust 2, 1960, In an agreement with the major leagues, the Continental League abandons plans to join the American League and National League as a third major league. Walter O'Malley, chairman of the NL Expansion Committee, says, "We immediately will recommend expansion and that we would like to do it in 1961." Braves owner Lou Perini proposes a compromise that four of the CL territories be admitted to the current majors in orderly expansion. Branch Rickey's group quickly accepts. The Continental League ends without playing a game. August 2, 1938, the Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals use yellow baseballs in the first game of a doubleheader. The experiment will end quickly, as the two teams switch to white baseballs in the second game. The Dodgers sweep both games, winning 6-2 and 9-3.August 2, 1930, Smoky Joe Williams of the Homestead Grays strikes out 27 Kansas City Monarchs in a memorable 12-inning night game. The 54-year-old Williams, who outduels Chet Brewer, 1-0, benefits from pitching under a portable light system that makes it difficult for hitters to see the baseball.August 2, 1921 - With the jurors lifting the men onto their shoulders, the eight White Sox players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series are acquitted by the jury. The next day, Commissioner Kenesaw Landis will say the overwhelming evidence clearly shows the Black Sox fixed the games with gamblers and all involved will be banned from playing professional baseball again. August 2, 1907, Walter Johnson makes his major league debut. The Washington Senators' rookie loses a 3-2 decision to the Detroit Tigers. In an interesting twist, Ty Cobb collects the first hit against Johnson. Cobb would go on to collect more hits against Johnson than any other batter, and bat .366 against the hard-throwing righthander. In 1936, both players will become part of the inaugural class of the Hall of Fame.Born on this day in 1966 - Tim Wakefield,
