The former home of dem bums, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Throughout sports, there are certain franchises, that have such a storied tradition, that their legacy never dies.

You can't do the big things if you can't do the little things. A friend of mine used to say this all the time. And it reminds me of the Democratic Party - a party that can't seem to move the needle on the big, meaningful stuff because they're always fighting about procedural issues that prevent the nation from moving forward. Has the right wing lost its fucking mind in this country? Sure. But they're not the reason democrats are so dysfunctional. The Democratic Party is riddled with self-inflicted wounds, some of which we expose in today's episode including a profile of one of the party's worst actors: Josh Gottheimer.

SIT AND RUN #99 - Dem Bums by Michael Caceres
The Robins. The Bridegrooms. The Superbas. The Dizziness Boys. Dem Bums. The Boys of Summer. Whatever you call them, they will always be known in the hearts of New Yorkers as the Brooklyn Dodgers, the legendary baseball team that almost literally defined the spirit of Brooklyn in the early and mid 20th century. Equally as heralded is their former home Ebbets Field, a tiny stadium east of Prospect Park that saw several spectacular moments in sports history. This tiny but mighty field was also witness to many heart-breaking events for the Dodgers' unique die-hard fans. In this show, we review Dodgers history from the perspective of the team's fans and the surrounding neighborhood. This episode features recollections from Brooklynites who grew up around Ebbets Field, a sampling of stories from the Brooklyn Historical Society Oral History Collection. What was it like to grow up just a couple blocks from Ebbets Field? What makes Dodgers fans particularly unique in the world of sports? And what were the unfortunate series of events that led to the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn forever? FEATURING: Jackie Robinson, Robert Moses, Branch Rickey, Leo Durocher and a wild lady named Hilda Chester, armed with her vicious cowbell. Support the show.

Host Matt Sammon looks back at the groundbreaking '57 Topps set, and how this Pee Wee Reese card is rather appropriate for looking back on "Dem Bums", the Brooklyn Dodgers
August 1, 2016 - In this episode, our time machine takes us out to the ballgame, where we'll root, root, root for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The year is 1947, and Dem Bums just signed Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player in Major League History. Sitting next to us in the 50¢ grandstand seats, is Geoff Griffin, author of the children's book, Brooklyn Bat Boy: A Story of the 1947 Season that Changed Baseball Forever. In it, young readers will witness the challenges Robinson faced through the eyes of 12-year-old Bobby Kelly -- the bat boy in the title.

Lyrics by George Merrick. Music by Andy Roninson. A woman in Brooklyn 1961 sings about why she'll never forget the Dodgers leaving town. TONI - Jessica Phillips
The Brooklyn Dodgers TV Series' research process continues with the latest edition of the Bedford & Sullivan podcast! It was clear there was much more to talk about when Carl Erskine and I last left off discussing the 1955 World Series Championship, the only World Series the Dodgers won in Brooklyn. Oisk calls in once more to continue giving us his fantastic insight regarding Dem Bums. So, join us at 10:00AM ET for the latest edition of the Bedford & Sullivan podcast!
Larry King is still a very busy man after all these years, and I (Sam Maxwell) advise you all to keep up with his show on ora.tv/larrykingnow. They are taping a bunch today, and they tried to accommodate me to the best of their abilities. I went on and on for most of the show about Dodger/Cardinal rivalry history, as well as talking some playoff baseball with the NL and AL Championship series ready to get underway. And I also started talking about where I am in the writing process. After riding solo for most of the way, Larry was finally able to call around 27 minutes into the show. Though most of you may jump to that clip, I certainly wasn't too shabby holding down the fort.
