The 13th year of the Best Podcast in Baseball begins with a conversation about something new for the Cardinals and their fan base, something that hasn't been discussed around Busch Stadium in decades, and something some might argue was overdue. "For the first time in forever, (they're) trying to sell hope," says Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon. The first BPIB episode of 2025 welcomes Gordon, longtime author of Tipsheet at StlToday.com, as a regular contributor to the weekly baseball podcast and puts him right to work on cross-examination. Continuing what's become an annual feature on the podcast, host and baseball writer Derrick Goold reveals his ballot for the upcoming class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro Suzuki is eligible for the first time and brings more than 3,000 hits in the majors and 4,200 hits as a professional to his bid to become the first unanimously selected position player.  Ichiro, five holdovers from last year's ballot, and four newcomers, all pitchers, appear on Goold's 10-full ballot. Gordon and Goold discuss the layup decisions and the other choices that forced a look at how the modern game uses starting pitchers and, thus, how voters should consider that when looking at this generation of starters for the Hall of Fame. After the Cooperstown conversation, the two Post-Dispatch staff writers discuss new year's resolution for the 2025 Cardinals, and that brings the discussion around to the team's messaging. How do they sell a fan base and tickets to that fan base without the stars that fan base is used to seeing, without the contending club the fan base is accustomed to the team promising? Gordon has some thoughts on who should deliver that message and soon. That brings the podcast around to its conclusion -- and a potential historic end for a Cardinals' continuity. For more than 100 years, the Cardinals have had an eventual Hall of Famer in uniform. From Roger Bresnahan to Stan Musial, Dizzy Dean to Bob Gibson, Lou Brock to Ozzie Gibson, and certainly through 2011 when Albert Pujols went west until returning in 2022. Carlos Beltran is currently on the ballot and is a candidate to extend that streak through 2012 and 2013, and Yadier Molina has a claim to take it all the way through 2022, when then Adam Wainwright, Paul Goldschmidt, and Nolan Arenado are potential Cooperstown inductees to keep it going. Wainwright is now retired. Goldschmidt is now a Yankee. And the Cardinals actively exploring trade talks for Arenado. If all three are gone, is that streak?

In 1948, Dizzy Dean was firmly established in his second career as a baseball broadcaster, having retired from playing in 1947. This was Dean's third year calling games for the St. Louis Browns and Cardinals, a role he began in 1941 shortly after his playing days ended. Dean's unique style of broadcasting, characterized by his folksy humor and unorthodox grammar, had already made him a fan favorite behind the microphone.The Dizzy Dean Show was a regular feature on radio during this period, showcasing Dean's personality and baseball knowledge. 1948 was a significant year in baseball, with the Cleveland Indians winning the World Series and Babe Ruth passing away in August. Dean's show likely touched on these major events while providing his signature commentary on the current baseball season. His perspective as a former star pitcher, particularly his experiences with the St. Louis Cardinals' Gashouse Gang in the 1930s, added depth to his analysis of the game.#DizzyDean #BaseballBroadcasting #1948MLBSeason #RadioSportsShow #FormerPlayerAnalyst

- Dizzy Dean- Bob HopeIn 1941, Dizzy Dean was in the twilight of his playing career, having last pitched regularly in 1938 for the Chicago Cubs. Despite his diminished on-field role, Dean remained a popular figure in baseball due to his colorful personality and broadcasting work. At this point, he was transitioning from player to full-time broadcaster, a role that would define the latter part of his career.Bob Hope, on the other hand, was at the height of his entertainment career in 1941. He had established himself as a top radio personality with his NBC show, The Pepsodent Show Starring Bob Hope, which began in 1938. Hope was known for his rapid-fire delivery of jokes and his willingness to engage with guests from various fields, including sports. This radio interview likely showcases the interplay between Dean's folksy baseball wisdom and Hope's quick wit, providing listeners with a blend of sports insight and entertainment.#DizzyDean #BobHope #BaseballBroadcasting #1940sRadio #SportsEntertainment

Known for his colorful personality and deep knowledge of the game, Dean brought a unique blend of insight and entertainment to his radio shows, making him one of the most popular voices in sports broadcasting.The year 1948 was significant in baseball, as it marked the end of an era with the retirement of several prominent players and the rise of new stars who would dominate the next decade.

- Dizzy Dean- Bucky Walters- Frank EschenIn this 1948 audio clip, listeners are offered a unique glimpse into baseball's past through the voices of two legendary pitchers, Dizzy Dean and Bucky Walters. Dean, known for his charismatic personality and dominant pitching with the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1930s, had transitioned into a successful broadcasting career by this time. Bucky Walters, on the other hand, was still an active player, known for his time with the Cincinnati Reds and being one of the National League's leading pitchers. This clip provides an opportunity to hear from Dean, who had been retired for a few years, and Walters, who was at the latter stages of his career, as they discuss the game, possibly reflecting on their experiences, the state of baseball post-World War II, and the changes the sport was undergoing.The year 1948 was significant in baseball history, marked by great players and memorable games. Having Dean and Walters together offers listeners insights from both sides of the pitching mound – from Dean's retrospective view of his playing days and transition into broadcasting, to Walters' perspective as an active player facing the challenges of the modern game. This audio serves as a valuable piece of sports history, capturing the thoughts and sentiments of two of baseball's greats during a time of transition for both the sport and the nation. It's a candid conversation that sheds light on personal and professional paths in baseball during the mid-20th century.#DizzyDean #BuckyWalters #1948Baseball #PitchingLegends #BaseballHistory

- Dizzy Dean- Lefty Gomez- Frank EschenIn this 1948 audio clip, two of baseball's most colorful and celebrated characters, Dizzy Dean and Lefty Gomez, come together for a memorable radio segment. By this time, both Dean and Gomez had retired from their active playing careers, Dean having made a name for himself primarily with the St. Louis Cardinals and Gomez with the New York Yankees. Both were known not just for their exceptional pitching skills but also for their unique personalities, which made them fan favorites and natural entertainers. The clip likely captures the two in a light-hearted dialogue, reflecting on their careers, the state of baseball post-World War II, and possibly sharing anecdotes that showcase their humor and wit.The timing of the clip is significant, as 1948 was a period of transition in baseball, with the integration of the sport underway and the old guard of stars making way for new talent. Dean and Gomez, as representatives of the previous generation, provide insights into the game's golden era, offering a bridge between the past and the future of baseball. Their discussion is not only a historical record but also a showcase of the personalities that helped shape the narrative of the sport. This clip serves as a valuable piece for anyone interested in the history of baseball, the evolution of sports media, and the personal stories of two of the game's legendary figures.#DizzyDean #LeftyGomez #1948Baseball #BaseballHistory #SportsBroadcasting

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the Best Cardinals to the table for discussion. 

rWotD Episode 2564: 1938 Chicago Cubs season Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Saturday, 11 May 2024 is 1938 Chicago Cubs season.The 1938 Chicago Cubs season was the 67th season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 63rd in the National League and the 23rd at Wrigley Field. The Cubs finished first in the National League with a record of 89–63. The team was swept four games to none by the New York Yankees in the World Series.The team is known for the season of pitcher Dizzy Dean. While pitching for the NL in the 1937 All-Star Game, Dean suffered a big toe fracture. Coming back too soon from the injury, Dean changed his pitching motion to avoid landing too hard on his sore toe enough to affect his mechanics. As a result, he hurt his arm, losing his great fastball. By 1938, Dean's arm was largely gone. Cubs scout Clarence "Pants" Rowland was tasked with the unenviable job of obeying owner Philip K. Wrigley's direct order to buy a washed-up Dean's contract at any cost. Rowland signed the ragged righty for $185,000, one of the most expensive loss-leader contracts in baseball history. Dean still helped the Cubs win the 1938 pennant.On July 20, Wrigley named 37-year-old Gabby Hartnett as the team's player-manager, replacing Charlie Grimm. When Hartnett took over, the Cubs were in third place, six games behind the first place Pittsburgh Pirates who were led by Pie Traynor. By September 27, with one week left in the season, the Cubs had battled back to within a game and a half game of the Pirates in the National League standings as the two teams met for a crucial three-game series. Dean pitched the opening game of the series and with his ailing arm, relied more on his experience and grit to defeat the Pirates by a score of 2 to 1. Dean would later call it the greatest outing of his career. The Cubs cut the Pirates' lead to a half game and set the stage for one of baseball's most memorable moments.On September 28, the two teams met for the second game of the series, where Hartnett experienced the highlight of his career. With darkness descending on the lightless Wrigley Field and the score tied at 5 runs apiece, the umpires ruled that the ninth inning would be the last to be played. The entire game would have to be replayed the following day if the score remained tied. Hartnett came to bat with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning. With a count of 0 balls and 2 strikes, Hartnett connected on a Mace Brown pitch, launching the ball into the darkness, before it eventually landed in the left-center field bleachers. The stadium erupted into pandemonium as players and fans stormed the field to escort Hartnett around the bases. Hartnett's walk-off home run became immortalized as the Homer in the Gloamin'. The Cubs were now in first place, culminating an impressive 19–3–1 record in September, and the pennant would be clinched three days later.It would be 50 years before lights were installed at Wrigley Field.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:06 UTC on Saturday, 11 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see 1938 Chicago Cubs season on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Emma Standard.

On March 28, 1913, the St. Louis Browns make an unusual “trade,” sending infielder Clyde “Buzzy” Wares to the Montgomery Rebels a minor league team in exchange for the rental of a stadium. The Montgomery Rebels will allow the Browns to use their stadium during spring training-rent free. he Southern Association Class-A team will return the 26 year-old infielder to St. Louis later in the season. He will debut on September 15, 1913 vs. BOS and he goes 0-1. Wares will play part of the 1913 and 1914 season in St Louis and hang around in the minors until 1920.The Browns didn't tell Wares about the deal until the last minute. When the manager called Buzzy into his office on the last day of spring training, Wares thought it was to tell him he had made the team with his strong play. However, skipper, George Stovall informed Wares that he was staying in Montgomery, telling him “You're the payment for our grounds rental.” He played over 250 games of Montgomery. Wares will later rejoin the Cardinals as a coach for the Gas House Gang teams. https://thisdayinbaseball.com/st-louis-browns-make-an-unusual-trade-sending-infielder-clyde-buzzy-wares-to-a-minor-league-team-in-exchange-for-the-rental-of-a-stadium/Also on the Show - Dizzy Dean talking about Frankie Frisch and the Strat O Matic replay - Day 3

Dizzy Dean 48-07-17 (03) Results of the All-Star Game

In this audio clip from 1948, we're presented with a piece of baseball history featuring the inimitable Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean. By this time, Dean, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, had hung up his gloves after a prolific career from 1930 to 1947. Known for his vibrant personality and exceptional pitching skills, Dean was a standout figure in the baseball world. His contributions to the sport would later earn him a well-deserved spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953.

He hasn't homered as a Met yet, and Jonathan Araúz went 0-for-3 yesterday to fall from .333 to .167 (DJ Stewart now has a .259-.256 lead on Brandon Nimmo for active roster batting average, regardless of plate appearance totals), but let's go ahead and head into the weekend with Araúz's home run chain.* Jonathan Araúz hit his first home run off Josh Tomlin, 9/27/20* Josh Tomlin gave up his first home run to José Molina, 7/31/10* José Molina hit his first home run off Rocky Biddle, 5/10/01* Rocky Biddle gave up his first home run to Joe Oliver, 8/10/00* Joe Oliver hit his first home run off Ricky Horton, 8/18/89* Ricky Horton gave up his first home run to Jeffrey Leonard, 4/7/84* Jeffrey Leonard hit his first home run off Pete Falcone, 4/25/80* Pete Falcone gave up his first home run to Vic Correll, 4/13/75* Vic Correll hit his first home run off Randy Moffitt, 7/31/74* Randy Moffitt gave up his first home run to Garry Jestadt, 6/25/72* Garry Jestadt hit his first home run off Mike Torrez, 5/14/72* Mike Torrez gave up his first home run to Adolfo Phillips, 4/19/68* Adolfo Phillips hit his first home run off Barney Schultz, 9/6/65* Barney Schultz gave up his first home run to Ernie Banks, 4/16/55* Ernie Banks hit his first home run off Gerry Staley, 9/20/53* Gerry Staley gave up his first home run to Sid Gordon, 7/11/47* Sid Gordon hit his first home run off Jim Tobin, 4/27/43* Jim Tobin gave up his first home run to Dizzy Dean, 8/22/37* Dizzy Dean hit his first home run off Ed Brandt, 7/31/32* Ed Brandt gave up his first home run to Andy Reese, 4/19/28* Andy Reese hit his first home run off Bill Sherdel, 6/19/27* Bill Sherdel gave up his first home run to Heinie Groh, 6/22/18* Heinie Groh hit his first home run off Frank Allen, 7/28/13* Frank Allen gave up his first home run to Owen Wilson, 7/15/12* Owen Wilson hit his first home run off Johnny Lush, 4/23/08* Johnny Lush gave up his first home run to Johnny King, 5/18/06* Johnny King hit his first home run off Ed Poole, 4/29/03* Ed Poole gave up his first home run to Elmer Flick, 5/16/01* Elmer Flick hit his first home run off Red Ehret, 6/1/98* Red Ehret gave up his first home run to Billy Shindle, 7/7/88This was the first home run allowed by Ehret, pitching for the Kansas City Cowboys in the American Association against Shindle and the Baltimore Orioles. Ehret was sold after the season to the Louisville Colonels for $500, and stayed there for three years. In the 1890 proto-World Series against the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Ehret pitched two complete games, winning both, and he closed out Louisville's other win in the series, which went down as a 3-3-1 tie. Ehret also was 3-for-7 with a triple in the series, but the real hitting stars were Germany Smith with two triples and seven runs batted in for Brooklyn, and Chicken Wolf, who knocked in eight of Louisville's 32 runs in the series, while going 9-for-25 with four extra-base hits and four more runs scored.Chicken Wolf's given name was William Van Winkle Wolf, and he led the American Association that year with 197 hits, 260 total bases, and a .363 average. He was Louisville's all-time leader in games played, with 1,193, and collected 1,437 hits to lead the franchise, as well as 109 triples and 591 RBI.Ehret didn't stick around that long. In 1892, he joined the National League's Pittsburgh Pirates, and in 1893 led the league with four shutouts — and 23 hit batsmen. He was traded to St. Louis after the 1894 season, and on to Cincinnati a year later. Finally, Ehret was dealt back to Louisville before the 1898 season, but the real prize for the Colonels in that deal was Billy Hoy, the deaf player who in his age 36 and 37 seasons racked up 29 triples and scored 221 runs. Hoy was previously a tangent at the end of the Jeff McNeil home run chain, so that's fun. More fun than the Mets are having. This is a public episode.

7/7/1936 - MLB All-Star Game - Braves Field in Boston - The 1936 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was held at Braves Field in Boston, and is most notable for the appearance of rookie Joe DiMaggio in the starting lineup. Joe didn't do much in this game, but at the break he was hitting .354 with 11 homeruns, 27 doubles, and 62 RBI. The National League was looking to win their first All-Star game after 3 straight losses by throwing Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals on the mound to start the game. Dizzy led the majors with 30 wins in 1934 and 28 in 1935. The game was broadcast by the Mutual Radio Network by announcers Fred Hoey and Linus Travers.American League Starting Lineup1 - SS - Luke Appling2 - 2B - Charlie Gehringer3 - RF - Joe DiMaggio4 - 1B - Lou Gehrig5 - CF - Earl Averill6 - C - Rick Ferrell7 - LF - Rip Radcliff8 - 3B - Pinky Higgins9 - P - Lefty Grove.National League Starting Lineup1 - CF - Augie Galan2 - 2B - Billy Herman3 - 1B - Ripper Collins4 - LF - Joe Medwick5 - RF - Frank Demaree6 - C - Gabby Hartnett7 - 3B - Pinky Whitney8 - SS - Leo Durocher9 - P - Dizzy Dean

Leo Durocher may best be remembered for uttering the famous phrase, "Nice guys finish last." Yet he was far more than a footnote person in baseball history. He roomed with Babe Ruth, won a World Series title with Dizzy Dean, tutored Pee Wee Reese, dated and married movie starlets, was suspended for a full year for consorting with gamblers, gave Roy Campanella the Dodgers' catching job, was friends with gangster Bugsy Siegel, managed the Giants to the famous playoff game that produced Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World", led the Giants to their last World Series title in New York City, nearly coaxed the Cubs to a pennant in 1969, and wore the orange and black of the Houston Astros. When the dust had settled on his controversial and colorful career, Durocher had played in more than 1,600 games and won 2,008 as a skipper. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1994.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.

The man had a fantastic career, led a humble life, and never seemed to let the terrible disease that took his life get him down.Yet another new pair hall of famers come to the across our gaze and we were less than impressed with their credentials. Our Phillies have looked just sad and that 2023 Phillies Eulogy has arrived. Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.TimestampsPhillies Segment - 14:09Hall of Fame Discussion - 31:30Parting Shots - 50:13

A recent acquisition by our Milford House Press imprint, J.B. Manheim brings the murky past of old-time baseball to life in "The Federal Case," the latest release in The Deadball Files series. Over a century ago, Major League Baseball and the upstart Federal League were embroiled in a legal dispute. An ancient legal document falls into the hands of night-schooled lawyer Andy Dennum, which pits him against baseball's establishment, the firm that hired him, and a mystery out of his own past. At state is the viability of baseball's business model, and Andy's career. "You win some, you lose some. Some get rained out." Sunbury Press Books welcomes J.B. Manheim to the program, and Milford House will re-release his previous series of works, "This Never Happened," "Doubleday Doubletake," and "The Gamekeepers." Professor Emeritus at George Washington University, J.B. Manheim developed the world's first degree-granting program in Political Communication, and was founding director of the School of Media & Public Affairs. His love of baseball began watching Dizzy Dean on the Game of the Week, and watching games at Cleveland Municipal Stadium with his grandfather. Manheim is also a member of the Society for American Baseball Research, the Internet Baseball Writers Assocation of America and the Authors Guild.

1968 is known as 'The Year Of The Pitcher', and no other pitcher stood out more than the Detroit Tigers' Denny McLain. With a winning record for the last three years, his achievement in the '68 season would become one of the greatest pitching performances in history. Because the wins just kept coming. It's September 14th, and the Tigers welcome the Oakland Athletic to Detroit. McLain is first up at the mound, sitting on a 29-5 record. The last pitcher to hit 30 wins was Dizzy Dean of the 1934 St Louis Cardinal. We join Ernie Harwell and Detroit Tigers Baseball Radio as McLain chases one more win to reach the historic high-water mark. You can find the boxscore here. This game was played on September 14th 1968. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

Perhaps more than any other sport, baseball is a game that seems to have cultivated weirdos. It's a home for people who probably wouldn't fit in anywhere else. Maybe the weirdest of those is Turk Wendell, who signed a three year, $9,999,999.99 contract with the Mets 22 years ago this week. Mike and Bill use this as an excuse to talk about him and several of their other favorite weirdos from the annals of baseball history. Plus, happy birthday to Mike Scioscia and Wayne Garrett!
