In 1956 New York Yankees center fielder Mickey Mantle won the Triple Crown. And his spectacular catch in the 8th inning of Game 5 of the World Series preserved Don Larsen's perfect game In this 1991 interview Mantle discusses his book My Favorite Summer: 1956 Get My Favorite Summer 1956 by Mickey MantleAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything earns from qualifying purchases.You may also enjoy my interviews with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron For more vintage interviews with celebrities, leaders, and influencers, subscribe to Now I've Heard Everything on Spotify, Apple Podcasts. and now on YouTube #MLB #baseball #Yankees #WorldSeries
Top 5 Reasons This World Series is Special | BrandStack Podcast - 003The transcript below was provided by Substack and cleaned up by ChatGPT.Hey Gang,The World Series is about to get started, and I wanted to share an interview I did with a legendary player who wore both the Yankees and Dodgers uniforms and pitched in the last three World Series between the two teams. Does anybody know who that player might be? We'll come back to that in just a few minutes.Why The 2024 World Series is SpecialBut first, I wanted to share why I think this World Series is so special and why there's so much interest in the series between the Yankees and the Dodgers.Massive Star PowerNumber one, it's got massive star power. The MVPs and best players in each league are in it: Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Shohei Otani of the Dodgers. You've also got other stars like Juan Soto and Garrett Cole on the Yankees' side, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman on the Dodgers' side, although Freeman isn't in top form right now. These are among the biggest names in the game. It's going to be exciting to have all these stars under the bright lights.Two Best Teams in BaseballNumber two, it's the two best teams in baseball. The Dodgers and Yankees both finished with the best record in their league during the regular season. Nothing that happened during the playoffs changed the perception that these are the two best teams, and we've got a matchup of the best of the best.Broadway vs HollywoodNumber three, it's New York and L.A. You're talking about the two biggest media markets in the U.S., so the hype and the media attention is going to be massive, and the TV audience should be much bigger than usual for a World Series.Storied RivalryNumber four, it's a storied rivalry. Great tradition and history, going back to when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn and the two teams would meet in the Subway Series, the World Series, as it was called when two New York teams were playing. You're talking, again, about some of the greatest players in the history of the game: Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax—although Koufax was more so in the 60s after the move to L.A. There's only been one perfect game in the entire World Series, and that was Don Larsen of the Yankees beating the Dodgers in Game 6 of the 1956 World Series. There's also the famous play where Jackie Robinson steals home off Whitey Ford, and Yogi swore till his final day that he got the tag down and got Robinson out, but he argued to no avail, and Jackie Robinson was safe. That was the 1955 series, the one World Series between the Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, in which the Dodgers broke through and won the series. I believe they were 6-1, the Yankees against the Dodgers in the World Series when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn. The Yankees lead 8-3 overall between the two teams.It's Been 43 YearsAnd number five, this doesn't happen very often. These two teams haven't met in the World Series in 43 years. The last three times they met—'77, '78, and '81—the Yankees won in '77 and '78, and the Dodgers won in '81. If memory serves me correctly, in both '78 and '81, the team that won the first two games ended up losing the series and losing the next four straight games. Of course, the biggest memory, the greatest memory most people have who were around for those series, was Game 6, 1977, when Reggie Jackson hit three home runs off of three different Dodgers pitchers. Again, the Yankees won in '77 and '78. The Dodgers bounced back and won in 1981.The InterviewSo I want to bring up an interview that I did. I did this back in 2017 in October, just before the World Series back then. It was with a player who...
SERIES 3 EPISODE 54: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Ignore, for the moment, the horserace numbers in the national and even swing state polls and consider two "interior numbers." Emerson says those 20% or so of voters who hadn't decided for whom to vote until the last week or last month are breaking 60/36 for Harris. The implications for this are profound. With two percent still undecided (around 3,250,000 people) if the pattern holds, Harris could see a net gain of 648,000 votes (perhaps a net 28,000 in Pennsylvania alone). That kind of gain applied to her swing state leads from The Washington Post poll could secure victory. There's also some impressive work out of CNN's Harry Enten and his analysis of a small but important decline in the core of Trump's support: Non-College Whites in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Polls show he's down about 13% in that demographic and since in those states that demographic is a majority of likely voters, that's a world of hurt. And then there is the Associated Press polling on economic issues where Harris is ahead of Trump on everything but handling gas and grocery prices (and trailing him by only two points in that). Be of good cheer. PLUS TRUMP KEEPS SAYING STUPID THINGS: Assassination attempt survivor Trump has now endorsed the threatening of FEMA officials by armed gunmen in North Carolina, and has said we have to go back to 1798 (you know, when it was illegal to criticize the government but legal to own other human beings). I wonder how a pro-slavery position polls with late deciders?. B-Block (20:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Dr. Said Masih Noori certainly appears to be what he claims: a British doctor who wrote that he would like to "vanish" Jews. His fulsome apology didn't work, so he went back on the attack and just to ratchet it up a notch he endorsed the Trump-Musk campaign. New York Magazine asks 57 experts you've never heard of if Media can survive. Not if people like those running New York Magazine keep running the field. Hours after publication they fired Olivia Nuzzi. And National Review promotes Rich Lowry's non-insightful criticism of the WNBA basketball finals. All 83 words of it. Which, like anything else he writes about women, requires another reading of his 2008 masturbatory paean to Sarah Palin after the VP debate. C-Block (32:00) SPORTSBALLCENTER: We're on the eve of the World Series! Well, the eve of the eve OF the eve, because baseball can't get anything right. It's another legendary match-up between the legendary Yankees and legendary Dodgers who are, unfortunately, now legendary for being two of the most under-performing franchises in sports. But I can offer you an amazing fact you can stun your friends with, about how the starting pitching in THIS World Series is likely to be better than that in the 1955 Dodgers-Yankees clash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

October 8, 1956 - Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitched the only perfect game in World Series history for a 2 - 0 triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sal Maglie, the opposing pitcher, gave up five hits. This would be the only post season no hitter until Roy Halladay's gem for the Phillies against Cincinnati on October 6th 2010.October 8, 1973 - Rusty Staub's two home runs powered the New York Mets to a 9 - 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a 2-1 lead in the NLCS. Pete Rose of the Reds and Bud Harrelson of the Mets scuffled at second base in the fifth inning after Rose slid hard into the base. The benches cleared and when the dust settled, the 140 pound Harrelson ended up on losing end of both conflicts.October 8, 1989 - The Oakland Athletics beat Toronto 4 - 3 in Game Five of their AL division series to advance to the World Series for the second straight year. Rickey Henderson, who hit .400 with eight stolen bases, was named Series MVP.October 8, 2009 - The Los Angeles Angels open their fourth Division Series in recent years against the Boston Red Sox in an unusual manner - with a win. John Lackey pitches 7 1/3 scoreless innings and Torii Hunter hits a three-run homer off Jon Lester in the 5th to drive the 5 - 0 win.October 8, 1919 - Ed Cicotte pitched Game Seven of the World Series and the Chicago White Sox played like they meant it. Joe Jackson and Happy Felsch drove in two runs each for a 4- 1 win to cut the Cincinnati Reds lead of four games to three in the best-of-nine Series.

Whose job to keep them healthy Yamamoto moved to 60-day IL, out until at least mid-August Tyler Glasnow Forearm TJ Oblique Back “It's certainly not ideal,” Roberts conceded. “But my job is to keep this thing moving forward.” Drew Smith Tommy John surgery “We're going to need guys to step up,” general manager David Stearns said. “This is not unique to us.” “Our job is to help him,” Mendoza said. “He'll get back on the field. Lance McCullers TJ/ Flexor Tendon surgery shoulder issues The team has “pulled back” on McCullers' rehab progression with what manager Joe Espada described as “soreness in his arm,” intensifying Houston's need for rotation help at the July 30 trade deadline. “He's just not feeling well after his bullpens and his throwing programs,” Espada said on Tuesday. “He's going to be no-throw for a few days until we sit back down and re-evaluate how we're going to move forward.” Ben Joyce ANAHEIM -- Don't blink. You might just miss one of Ben Joyce's fastballs. Joyce has been lighting up radar guns yet again this season, including uncorking a 104.5 mph fastball in a scoreless seventh inning of the Angels' 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings on Friday, the hardest pitch thrown by any pitcher this season. “I've been feeling really good, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time,” Joyce said. “I was trying to go out there and get some outs. But yeah, overall, the body felt great and everything felt really good.” There's no doubt about it,” Washington said. “He's growing, man. He's starting to believe in himself and his ability to throw the ball over the plate. If he can do that, he's going to be a real good one.” Whitely #1 to #21 MLB.com Feb 2024 Whitley, the 6-foot-7-inch right-hander who was Houston's first-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, has thrown only 267 innings in his Minor League career thanks to a suspension, a series of injuries, including Tommy John surgery two years ago and a lat injury last season. Whitley said the TrackMan data collected Friday provided promising information about his arsenal. “Everything looked really good,” he said. “[Pitch] shapes were good. I threw a slider with almost 25 inches of horizontal break [Friday]. I don't know how accurate that is, but it was good to see. Yeah, stuff's right back to where it was. Got up to 98 [mph] in November, so velocity is still there and I'm bouncing back health-wise and not getting too sore.” “I've gone through so much the last three years,” he said. I feel like I've attained so much knowledge on the pitching side. Last year Whitley pitched for Triple-A Sugar Land and went 1-2 in eight appearances with a 5.70 ERA. He posted a solid strikeout rate, fanning 32 batters in 30 innings. But he missed the back half of the season with a lat strain. The towering righty revamped his routine this offseason, hoping an off-the-mound overhaul would make him a regular at Minute Maid Park. Connecting the MLB Dots River Ryan Dodgers Dot #1: MLB teams are purchasing damaged goods. Whether college coaches can't teach /do not wont to teach, doesn't change reality. These 2 hurlers are doppelgängers for what MLB is purchasing. Dot #2: MLB takes these damaged hurlers, places them on minor league teams for purpose of Development (see Damon Oppenheimer quote). But just like college, there is no teaching /no development to repair the damaged goods, only focus - Velo /Spin. Dot #3: Takes us to the Show, see Dodgers analysis below - absolute mess. As there is also no teaching/development in the Show, only focus - Velo/Spin, the hurlers remain damaged goods Dot #4: To solve any problem one needs to understand what caused the problem. If they do not recognize they're purchasing damaged goods, they're wasting their breath. More to the point, if they all believe - Wake Forest to Dodger Land - this throwing motion is the only way to maximize velocity they're sadly misguided and misinformed. Waldrep elbow injury braves #2 prospect Waldrep has made two starts in the big leagues in 2024, giving up 13 runs over seven innings, so he'll look to find a groove with Gwinnett in order to potentially get another shot with Atlanta down the road. Pitchers are better than ever MLB Team ERA 2024 #1 3.21 50% teams 4.00 + 29th Dodgers 4.67 $700mm Oh 2014 #1 3.03 30% teams 4.00+ 1984 #1 3.11 31% 4.00+ 1974 #1 2.95 4% 4.00+ 1353 pitchers during a July stretch: 45% 3.80+ Severino: The right-hander had a rough start in Pittsburgh near the close of the first half that caused his ERA to balloon, but otherwise was consistent for the Mets in providing both length and quality. Severino has pitched to a 3.78 ERA and logged 109 ⅔ innings. Phil Mushnick Saturday, the Mets beat the Marlins, 1-0, despite Carlos Mendoza, who was mentored by Boone. After six, Mendoza pulled Luis Severino who had allowed just two hits. On SNY, Gary Cohen offered a weak explanation: Severino was about to face the decisive “third time through the order.” As if both Cone, 25 years ago, and Don Larsen, in 1956, should have been yanked after six. Besides, with a lineup loaded with .215 batters, the Marlins all become Rod Carew come the seventh inning .203 .239 .230 .214 .213 .231 .249 .243 .245 Bigger Stronger ? Tanner Houck The All-Star pitcher finished the first half with a 2.54 ERA through 19 starts. On Tuesday in Arlington, Texas, he pitched one inning in the All-Star Game, Before the break, manager Alex Cora suggested they would reorganize the rotation to give Houck extra time off, Houck's Monday start means he won't have pitched more than an inning since July 11, giving him 10 days between starts. Houck is already at 117 innings, but Cora said they think Houck's physicality puts him in a good spot to carry him through the season. Garrett Crochet Max Fried: MLB Facts “Because obviously, it scares you or alarms you,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “That's why he wanted to get in front of it and make sure it wasn't anything big. 2 forearm injuries successive seasons: MLB's MO is to play wac-a -mole. “Definitely a relief to know it's just a little bit of a freak accident. Just going to let it calm down for a little bit, and it should be good to go with no issues.” Not a freak accident, Fried's throwing motion maximizes the forces on his shoulder/elbow Fried, 30, was limited to 14 starts in 2023, when he was out for three months with a forearm strain FACT: MLB hurlers will not make adjustments to their throwing motion. FACT: MLB Pitching coaches do not encourage pitchers to make adjustments FACT: Minor league pitchers will not make adjustments to their throwing motion FACT: Minor league pitching coaches do not encourage prospects to make adjustments FACT: The Analytic's experts have re-defined and reduced the art of pitching to Velocity and Spin from the 4 tenets of pitching Command, Change of Speed, Movement, Velocity REALITY: With all due respect to the experts who have been quoted in the numerous articles, unless they start teaching/developing in the minor leagues nothing will change. FACT: This throwing motion, i.e phase movements and lower half /ball timing maximizes the forces on the shoulder and elbow. They're not willing to address, nothing changes Yes, The game has changed - Phil Mushnick We've lately tuned in to Mets telecasts to hear that their bullpen is exhausted, as if that's a matter of bad fortune as opposed to managerial design. So Thursday, the Mets led the Nationals, 5-0, after six, when Carlos Mendoza brought in new guy Phil Maton, who made one, two, three with two strikeouts on 10 pitches. And then he was pulled. In a 7-0 final, Mendoza used five pitchers. Why? I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

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.

October 8, 1956 - Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitched the only perfect game inWorld Series history for a 2 - 0 triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sal Maglie,the opposing pitcher, gave up five hits. This would be the only post season no hitter until Roy Halladay's gem for the Phillies against Cincinnati on October 6th 2010.October 8, 1973 - Rusty Staub's two home runs powered theNew York Mets to a 9 - 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a 2-1 lead in theNLCS. Pete Rose of the Reds and Bud Harrelson of the Mets scuffled at secondbase in the fifth inning after Rose slid hard into the base. The benchescleared and when the dust settled, the 140 pound Harrelson ended up on losingend of both conflicts. October 8, 1989 - The Oakland Athletics beat Toronto 4 - 3 in Game Five of their ALdivision series to advance to the World Series for the second straight year.Rickey Henderson, who hit .400 with eight stolen bases, was named Series MVP. October 8, 2009 - The Los Angeles Angels open their fourth Division Series in recent yearsagainst the Boston Red Sox in an unusual manner - with a win. John Lackeypitches 7 1/3 scoreless innings and Torii Hunter hits a three-run homer off JonLester in the 5th to drive the 5 - 0 win. October 8, 1919 - Ed Cicotte pitched Game Seven of the World Series and the Chicago White Sox played like they meant it. Joe Jackson and Happy Felsch drove in two runs each for a 4- 1 win to cut the Cincinnati Reds lead of four games to three in the best-of-nine Series.
When Luis Urías hit a grand slam on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, it was the first time that a Red Sox number nine hitter collected a salami in the Bronx, and only the second time ever for the man at the bottom of the Boston order to go deep against the Yanks with the bases loaded. Luis Rivera had done it at Fenway Park on August 31, 1990, and that was it.Overall, the Yankees still have a 4-2 lead in ninth-hitter grand slams against their rivals, three by pitchers: Red Ruffing in 1933, Don Larsen in 1956 (months before his World Series perfect game, what a year), and Mel Stottlemyre (inside the park) in 1965, all at Yankee Stadium. Fred Stanley took Mike Torrez out of Fenway on June 20, 1978 – sort of the opposite of Larsen, as Torrez would go on to give up Bucky Dent's division-deciding blast over the Green Monster.The Yankees last had their No. 9 batter hit a grand slam in 2021, Gary Sánchez off Baltimore's Keegan Akin. The Red Sox's last No. 9 slam before Urías was… also Urías. Last Thursday. Two days earlier.So, in a span of three days, Urías went from having hit 46 home runs as a major leaguer without a grand slam to 48 homers with two grand slams, both out of the No. 9 hole. Only three players have done that more in an entire career: Rich Reese (for the Twins in 1969, 1970, and 1972), Dick Schofield (for the 1985 and 1986 Angels, and 1994 Blue Jays), and Yuniesky Betancourt (for the 2007 Mariners, then two for the 2010 Royals).Betancourt's pair in 2010 came on July 17 and August 21, but there are 29 players now, including Urías, with two career grand slams out of the No. 9 hole, and 34 days was not the record for temporal proximity there.The record for games between grand slams by a number nine hitter is 0, set by Tony Cloninger when the Atlanta pitcher gave himself all the run support he would need on a first-inning slam off Bob Priddy, grounded out against Priddy in the third, then hit another granny off Ray Sadecki in the fourth. Cloninger gave up a solo shot to Sadecki in the fifth, but got himself a ninth RBI in the eighth, driving in more than half the runs on his way to a 17-3 complete game win.There have been a few other No. 9 hitters with two slams in a season. Brandon Inge had a week for the 2004 Tigers, hitting a grand slam off Cleveland's Jason Anderson on April 23 and Anaheim's Scot Shields on the 27th, the closest anyone got to Cloninger until Urías.In 1996, Kevin Elster hit grand slams out of the nine-hole for the Rangers on April 19 and August 5. Like Don Larsen, Madison Bumgarner had a more memorable moment in the 2014 World Series, but also hit grand slams on April 14 and July 13, both in San Francisco. The following year, Hank Conger hit grand slams for the Astros as the number nine hitter on August 1 and September 4.The players who did it in back-to-back seasons, in addition to Reese and Schofield?* Dizzy Trout (1949 and 1950 Tigers)* Tom Brookens (1987 and 1988 Tigers)* Milt Cuyler (1991 and 1992 Tigers)* Jose Valentin (1994 and 1995 Brewers)* Sean Berry (1995 Expos and 1996 Astros)* Mike Matheny (1996 and 1997 Brewers)* Darren Bragg (1996 and 1997 Red Sox)* Hunter Renfroe (2018 and 2019 Padres)* Raimel Tapia (2018 and 2019 Rockies)* Martín Maldonado (2021 and 2022 Astros)And the ones for whom the second grand slam was a repeat of more years gone by?* Rick Wise (1971 Phillies and 1973 Cardinals)* Casey Blake (2006 and 2008 Cleveland)* Jake Rogers (2021 and 2023 Tigers)* Omar Vizquel (1993 Mariners and 1996 Cleveland)* Byron Buxton (2016 and 2019 Twins)* Julio Lugo (2003 Devil Rays and 2007 Red Sox)* Camilo Pascual (1960 Senators and 1965 Twins)* Denny Neagle (1995 Pirates and 2001 Rockies)* Bob Gibson (1965 and 1973 Cardinals)* Kelly Johnson (2008 Atlanta and 2016 Mets)* Champ Summers (1975 Cubs and 1984 Padres)* Glenallen Hill (1989 Blue Jays and 1998 Cubs)And the record for the longest time between grand slams as a number nine hitter? Jim Sundberg, at Fenway Park for the Rangers off Rick Wise (who should've known to be careful with No. 9 hitters, shouldn't he?) on June 9, 1975, and then 12 years later as a Cubs pinch-hitter, blasting a game-tying slam off Lance McCullers (Sr.) of the Padres, followed by four more Chicago runs for a wild 12-8 triumph.

7/4/1983 - Red Sox vs Yankees - Yankee Stadium in New York -On July 4, 1983, Dave Righetti of the New York Yankees pitched a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox, marking a highlight in his career.

It's Game 5 of the 1956 World Series. Pitching for the Yankees is Don Larsen. Following four walks and four unearned runs given up in Game 2 before the end of the second inning, there was little indication that Larsen was about to throw the only perfect game in World Series history. Bob Wolff and Bob Neal call the game for MBS Radio, and as is tradition, never mention the no-hitter is on, let alone a perfect game… although Wolff might drop a few hints. See if you can spot them. The box score can be found here. This game was played on October 8th, 1956. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

EPISODE 70: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: It goes without saying Trump should not merely already be under indictment - he should be under 24/7 guard in a SuperMax Prison. But he's not. So we have to view last night's leak about the Department of Justice considering a Special Trump Counsel as "good news." (2:45) CNN's report says the Special Counsel would be appointed as soon as Trump officially declares he's running (he came close last night at one of his Cult Rallies) (3:53) CNN also reported something strange: that DOJ has hired two high-priced prosecutors in advance, just in case they do decide to prosecute. Are you kidding? Who does this? You don't hire guys away from Law Firm Partnerships 'just in case' (5:55) Plus CNN discovered one of the hirings because the guy UPDATED HIS LINKED-IN PROFILE! (8:23) In actual stuff that's happened, CREW, which got a New Mexico County Commissioner removed from office for insurrection based on the 14th Amendment, says it will sue to get Trump similarly barred from serving (11:00) All of which leads me to invoke 19th Century British Prime Minister William E. Gladstone and an immortal quote about him supplied by one of his fiercest critics, Henry Labouchere. B-Block (14:25) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Calto, in New York (15:17) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Golly, I guessed right: Elon Musk IS willing to sell YOUR Twitter identity to somebody else. I think we call this "blackmail." Plus CNBC fires Shepard "I Come From A Town Full Of Secrets" Smith. (17:54) IN SPORTS: World Series Game 5 Nailbiter; maybe those Phillies Powder Blue unis aren't good luck; and an imperfection in Don Larsen's 1956 Perfect Game you may not know about. Finally, Kyrie Irving is suspended.

A day after making history with five home runs against one pitcher in the World Series, the Phillies get no-hit at home against Cristian Javier and three relievers. We may know about Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, but why else was this such a rare occurrence? What other infamous group did the Phillies join in Game Four? Plus, we preview Game Five and try to figure out which version of Justin Verlander we'll get tonight and if this will be the biggest slugfest of the series since Game One.

EPISODE 69: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) It's hard to believe a Presidential speech about domestic threats to democracy would have to take a back seat to another story (2:20) But the Department of Justice has given "Use Immunity" to Trump flunky Kash Patel so he can be brought back before the Documents Grand Jury and tell the truth about whether or not he witnessed Trump verbally declassifying all the stolen documents (Spoiler alert: he didn't) (5:40) Patel's testimony suggests DOJ is still on a timeline towards indicting Trump in the first week of January (6:02) There was nothing WRONG with Biden's Democracy-In-Danger speech but it lacked the controlled rage he mastered in his speech in Philadelphia in September. Thus, the advice he asked me for 15 years ago about channeling anger into righteous indignation was either too good or not good enough (7:52) Unless this was some kind of "this is the last time I say it nicely" speech, Biden's call to the better angels of our nature will completely elude those who disagree with him and believe America IS a zero-sum game, like Stewart Rhodes, whose terrifying manifesto for Trump was released (9:30) And there's no use throwing the new facts in the DePape/Pelosis case at the Right Wing. It's case closed for them and any new facts can be dismissed as Cover-ups or Conspiracies (11:55) IN SPORTS: What if they gave a World Series no-hitter and nobody cared? B-Block (17:45) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Lia in Staten Island (18:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Elon Musk not knowing that +$8 and -$8 are different things fights Captain Obvious from The New York Times and Kyrie Irving and the NBA trying to fight their way out of the antisemitism mess, for the honors (22:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's 22 years ago now when Roger Clemens of the Yankees threw part of the broken bat of Mike Piazza of the Mets - threw it either AT him or inadvertently NEAR him. I had to do the first interview with Clemens, and then I asked a question that has haunted me for 22 years - what happened to the shattered bat?

Four Houston Astros pitchers combined to throw the second no-hitter in World Series history, as the Astros blanked the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0 in Game 4 of the World Series. As I point out in this episode, Don Larsen, the only pitcher to throw a perfect game in the World Series, need not move over despite the historic accomplishment by the Astros pitching staff.
BRT Game Night - The Saban Process + the History of the World Series w/ NYT National Baseball writer Tyler Kepner - BRT S03 EP52 (151) 10-16-2022 What We Learned This Week Business of Baseball Drafting Players to Analytics, & How the game has evolved History of World Series – Game Changers - Did babe Ruth call his shot? The Process – Nick Saban's success formula to focus on the moment, and being more fundamental & sound for each play Sports Gambling – who are the big players in the industry from sports books to Casinos Chess Strategy – how to train the mind to make better decisions Guests: TYLER KEPNER 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. Seg 1: Nick Saban – The Process Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, has more than 250 wins, & 7 national titles His coaching philosophy centers on a mental model called “process thinking” — or as he calls it: “The Process.” With links to behavioral psychology, process thinking is a framework that emphasizes preparation over the prize. Each step of a process is executed with diligence and precision, the desired outcome becomes all but inevitable. Nick Saban's was a the Coach at Michigan State University, where he created the Process with the help of a Psych professor named Dr. Lionel Rosen. The main idea was to win individual moments, can you be better than your opponent for 7 seconds (1 play). If your play is consistently better 7 seconds at a time, the score takes care of itself. Saban's philosophy of practicing well, and operating within the Process system. He uses mental models to simplify the complex, and focus on the details. Mental models are frameworks we use to examine problems, make decisions, and understand the world. As Farnam Street's Shane Parrish explains: “Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand, but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason.” Train people (employees) to think within the system. You cannot have a system for all things. There will always be situations that arise that were not thought of, but systems and checklists will cover 80 – 90% of what employee will face. Look at the New England Patriots in sports – same coach (Bill Belichick), system, but different players for 15 years, and yet the same Super Bowl winning results. Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban (multiple college championships) is a big believer in systems and process. Saban also happens to be a former assistant of Belichick. Bill Walsh, the legendary football coach of the San Francisco 49ers created the west coast offense. It was all about the system, and timing of the passing game to setup the entire offense. Walsh was known for taking average Quarterbacks and producing above average results (and winning). Walsh was so organized he scripted the first 15 plays of the game. He created the idea of ‘situational football'. He had certain plays for certain moments within a game, like the last 2 minutes of a game, etc. Many teams copied the 49ers system, and this changed how the game was played in the late 1980s to even today's football. What is common today in football, did not exist before Walsh. More on Saban and recruiting the best – Dave Kline telling a story of how Saban is a master recruiter. Football players can go somewhere else and play an Alabama 1x / year. Or they can go to Alabama and practice and play vs Alabama everyday. Over the long term the level of competition just on the team propels a player to greatness and the Pro level of the NFL.

Long-term thinking also is part of their culture and processes. The average investor, it's tough to compete with big hedge funds, who have armies of people and data. Single investor really does not have those types of resources to compete. Single investor if they take the long term, get good at capital preservation and wait.

We are joined by Lindsay Berra, who gives us the inside scoop about "It Ain't Over," an upcoming documentary about her grandfather, Yogi, which will be shown at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival. Lindsay brings us back to July 18, 1999, where we will accompany her to Yankee Stadium for 'Yogi Berra Day,' marking her grampa's return to the Bronx after nearly 15 years following a falling out with principal owner George M. Steinbrenner. It was a magical afternoon, with Don Larsen tossing the ceremonial first pitch to Yogi, tapping the gloves used by pitcher David Cone and catcher Joe Girardi. Cone, of course, went on to pitch the 16th perfect game in Major League history, a 6-0 blanking of the Montreal Expos. We'll share Yogi stories, discuss '90's pop culture (who knew Yogi was such a Seinfeld fan?) and much more!
Yankees pitcher Don Larsen achieves a feat so incredible nobody else has achieved it since. In game 5 of the 1956 World Series, he retired all 27 Brooklyn Dodgers batters he faced, throwing the first and only “perfect game” in World Series history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Caught Listening continues it's "In Memoriam" series by remembering the life and legacy of two legends of the game who passed away in 2020. Don Larsen and Whitey Ford are synonamous with the New York Yankees franchise but their lives and statsheets could not be more different. Helping us remember these two giants of baseball, and the differences between them, is longtime New York Times sports columnist George Vescey. From how Larsen's perfect game in the World Series defined his career, to his military career before making the Majors, George helps expand on the life and career of Larsen. As a man who covered Ford during his career in Pinstripes, Vescey reminisces on the man known as "The Chariman of the Board" and his impact on one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the world.Vescey also answers the question of who now holds the title of "Greatest Living Yankee" after the passing of Ford.

Don Larsen's perfect game broken down, well at least the 9th inning of it, Cy Young, Dennis Eckersley, best Braves right fielder of all time like we don't already know, pro sports is back in Arizona and Florida, California has surrendered, Louisville Slugger back in the batter's box, baseball and pop culture, is Sammy Watkins insane or a prophet? petedavis.buzzsprout.com, Pete's Tweets, This Day in Baseball History, my rants on masks and Kroger and arrhythmia and Chick-fil-A and chicken pot pies and other detritus. Listen and I shall tell you a story...
Don Larsen died this month, at the age of 90. He played baseball professionally from 1953 to 1967, and had a less than stellar career. As a pitcher, his lifetime record was 81 wins and 91 losses. He played five of those years with the powerhouse New York Yankees during their dynastic heyday in the 1950s; his record for lesser teams was a dismal 36 wins and 67 losses. And yet he's one of my favorite players of all time.
On this episode Maury discusses listening to Don Larsen's perfect game on radio at school.
Talkin' w/Slade Heathcott; Interview w/Former Yankees Outfielder, Slade Heathcott! Slade talks about his project with More Than Baseball, why Mike Francesca can't get his name right on WFAN, Alex Rodriguez's mentorship in 2015, spring training stories + so much more! Also, we discuss the Dodgers' pursuit of both Mookie Betts + Francisco Lindor, the Red Sox alleged sign-stealing scandal, Don Larsen stories + more!
Still known as the only player in baseball history to pitch a perfect game in the World Series, New York Yankee pitcher Don Larsen appeared on "Coping Conversations" in 1996 (to celebrate the 40th anniversary of that unbelievable achievement). Now, twenty-four years later, in honor of the 64th anniversary of Don's historic event, this show has been digitally-remastered and it is the first time it's been available on this website.

We continue to wreak havoc with the space time continuum this week as we travel back to 1999. While prepping for Y2K we managed to relive the entire 1999 MLB season, the highs, the lows, the leaders and the steroid fueled home run binges. We remember Don Larsen’s perfect feat and find out just how long people have been complaining about pitchers hitting. This week’s Wax Pack Heroes come in the form of 1988 Score and it’s a race of attrition. It could come down to who has the most mustaches and stirrups cause there were no stars to be had.

Efter juleferie vender En Halvleg med Redaktionen tilbage, og det gør vi med en snak om en af de transfers, der peger videre ind i det nye årti. Både fordi Erling Braut Haaland er en af europæisk fodbolds mest spændende talenter og kan dominere 2020'erne, men også fordi det er en handel, der fortæller noget om magtspillet mellem klubber og agenter, som det ser ud i dag. Vi ser også bagud - for det gjorde Don Larsen nemlig, og måske flere atleter burde gøre som den legendariske baseballspiller og mindes de store stunder. Vi diskuterer forholdet mellem at svælge i fortiden og konstant se fremad uden at skænke gode minder en tanke. Og så spinner vi Palle "Banks"-rouletten og får styr på, hvilken Hemmningsen-bror det egentlig var, der rev Jens Risager i pungen, og vi taler om Allan Simonsen, som pryder forsiden på Tipsbladet i denne.

1871 The Great Chicago Fire starts in the barn of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary, igniting a two-day blaze that kills between 200 and 300 people, destroys 17,450 buildings, leaves 100,000 homeless and causes an estimated $200 million (in 1871 dollars; $3 billion in 2007 dollars) in damages. Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern in the O'Leary barn and started the fire, but other theories hold that humans or even a comet may have been responsible for the event that left four square miles of the Windy City, including its business district, in ruins. Dry weather and an abundance of wooden buildings, streets and sidewalks made Chicago vulnerable to fire. The city averaged two fires per day in 1870; there were 20 fires throughout Chicago the week before the Great Fire of 1871. Reconstruction efforts began quickly and spurred great economic development and population growth, as architects laid the foundation for a modern city featuring the world's first skyscrapers. At the time of the fire, Chicago's population was approximately 324,000; within nine years, there were 500,000 Chicagoans. By 1893, the city was a major economic and transportation hub with an estimated population of 1.5 million. That same year, Chicago was chosen to host the World's Columbian Exposition, a major tourist attraction visited by 27.5 million people, or approximately half the U.S. population at the time. 1912 First Balkan war begins. Montenegro started the conflict by declaring war on the Ottoman Empire. A few days later Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia joined the war and created the Balkan League. The 7-month long war ended with a decisive Balkan League victory. Dissatisfaction over the spoils of the war led to the Second Balkan War a year later, between Bulgaria and it's former allies. 1956 Yankees pitcher Don Larsen starts game five of the World Series at Yankee Stadium against local rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Larsen completes the first perfect game in MLB postseason history, retiring 27 batters, and the Bronx Bombers will go on to win their 17th World Series. 1967 Native of Argentina, revolutionary in Cuba, writer and doctor, Che Guevara is caught in Bolivia after 1,800 CIA-backed soldiers surround his guerrilla encampment.

Hal Naragon is a baseball treasure. At age 90, the former major league catcher spun baseball yarns of catching Bob Feller, playing in the 1954 World Series, and later coaching the Detroit Tigers to 1968 World Series victory on the Baseball Happenings Podcast.Click here to listen on SpotifySigning with the legendary Bill VeeckNaragon signed with the Cleveland Indians after attending an open tryout during the summer of 1946; however, there was just one problem — he was still in high school. This led to his first meeting with the legendary Bill Veeck.“I found that when I filled out the application it said you had to be out of high school,” Naragon said during his 2019 interview. “They wanted to sign me and I got nervous then because I knew that I shouldn't have been there, but my dad said that we would go back up and talk to Mr. Veeck. “Mr. Veeck said to my dad, ‘We'd like to sign your son.’ My dad said, ‘I have to tell you he has not graduated from high school yet ... and he thought that this would be a good time to see if he had an ability to play professional baseball.’”Hal Naragon 1956 Topps / ToppsVeeck’s keen eye would not allow Naragon to walk away that quickly. He extended an olive branch to the elder Naragon, and the two came to a gentleman’s agreement for the Indians to have the first crack at his son when he graduated.“Well after you graduate will you give us a chance to talk to him?" Veeck asked. "My dad said, ‘Will a handshake do?’ They shook hands and they got me out of the ballpark.”Naragon's major league debutNaragon kept his word and signed with the Indians in 1947. He moved quickly through their minor league system, and by the time he was 22 he was in the major leagues. He eagerly recalled the September day in 1951 when he singled off Virgil Trucks in his first major league at-bat.“I know it was a chilly day and they called me in from the bullpen,” he said. “Naturally I was a little nervous, but usually by the time you get to the plate you get yourself together and do what you can do.” He played a few more games during his September call-up, and then the Marines quickly grabbed him to serve in the Korean War. While many players suffered from losing their peak years to military service, Naragon returned right in time to take part in Cleveland’s record-breaking 1954 World Series run.Catching Bob FellerNow that he had an entire big league season in front of him, Naragon was able to learn from the best in the game. His pitching staff included Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and Hal Newhouser. With that staff, it was easy to understand why the Indians won a then-record 111 games in 1954. For a rookie, catching Feller was one of the highlights of his career. “When I saw Feller he wasn't really in his prime, but still he had he had a good movement on his ball, a good curveball, and his fastball still was moving,” he said. Playing in the 1954 World SeriesNaragon hit .238 as Jim Hegan’s backup en route to the Indians facing the New York Giants in the 1954 World Series. He did not figure he would get much action, but with the Indians behind in Game Three, manager Al Lopez summoned Naragon as a late inning defensive replacement. “You know, I was hoping that I would get in one,” he said. “When I was called up out of the bullpen to come in, I, of course, felt a little on edge at first but then I kinda settled down. I liked to be able to play in a World Series.” Witnessing Willie Mays' CatchWhile the Giants swept the Indians courtesy of Dusty Rhodes peppering the short right field porch in the Polo Grounds, I couldn’t bring up the 1954 World Series without asking Naragon about perhaps the most famous catch of all-time. We revisited Willie Mays’ devastating over the shoulder grab of Vic Wertz smash during Game One.“You didn't think that much about it at first of the catch,” he said. “He did turn around and throw a nice ball into the infield. I don't know whether we even talked about it, but you knew Vic Wertz hit the ball and you thought, ‘Oh my goodness this is going to go out the ballpark.’ Well, then Mays catches it and you just say, 'Well, he's a good outfielder.'"While Naragon said that he felt Larry Doby made tougher catches than Mays' World Series spectacle, years later he was able to recognize its historical greatness.“I guess when looking back on it eventually you decide, ‘Hey that was one heck of a good catch.’”Throughout his time with the Indians, Naragon built deep connections with many of his teammates, bonded by their train rides traversing the American League. He shared a lesser-known World Series story that involved one of his early Indians mentors, Dale Mitchell. A career .312 hitter, Mitchell unfortunately, is best recognized for making the last out of Don Larsen’s 1956 World Series perfect game. Well after the game, the first person Mitchell reached out to was his friend, Hal Naragon. “He called me that evening,” he said. “I asked him about it and I told him I thought the ball looked a little outside. He said he thought so too.”Larry Doby's lighter side The nonagenarian reached deep into his bag of stories to share a lighthearted tale of an unintentional slip of the tongue he had with Larry Doby. Fortunately, his pioneering teammate found humor during the awkward moment.“I remember that we were playing one game, the sky was kind of high, and the ball was kind of tough to pick up right away,” he said. “He sat down beside of me and said to me, 'Gee it is really tough to pick up that ball.’ … I said, ‘Larry, why don't you go ahead and put on some of that black stuff underneath your eye?’ Once I realized what I said, I looked at Larry and he is busting out laughing you know, because he was a dark man, but he knew what I getting to.”Herb Score's InjuryPlaying with the Indians in the second half of the 1950s decade as they started to rebuild after their Hall of Fame stars retired, Naragon was able to witness their young stars blossom. Cleveland’s prized pitching prospect was Herb Score, a flame-throwing lefty that many expected to carry on Bob Feller’s legacy. In his first two seasons, Score led the American League in strikeouts with a 36-19 won-loss record. As 1957 started, Score looked like he was en route to another spectacular season; however, that all changed when New York Yankees infielder Gil McDougald stepped to the plate during a May 7th game. McDougald sent a line drive back through the box that smashed Score directly in the face. He watched with his teammates in horror as a bloody Score tried to hold his face together. The gruesome injury kept Score out for the rest of the season and derailed a once promising career. Naragon insisted that it was arm troubles and not the line drive that kept him from regaining his mound dominance. “You know what, that didn't hurt his career,” he said. “Basically, he threw just as hard after it as he did before he got hit. He would tell you that [too]. I think what happened, he hurt his arm a little bit and that hurt him. As far as when he got back, he had the same velocity and a good breaking curveball. He didn't blame anyone that he couldn't pitch later just as well afterward.”Score was not the only talent that Naragon watched bloom during his Cleveland tenure. Both Roger Maris and Rocky Colavito were rookies that Dale Mitchell told him to keep his eyes on, both impressing with their power hitting and defense. Ted Williams' thoughtful gestureWhile he had a multitude of fond memories of the superstars he played with in Cleveland, he was also excited to share a favorite Ted Williams story. It was one that had nothing to do with his on-field exploits.“I asked Ted Williams that I would like to have a picture of him and he said to me, ‘When you get to Boston, you ask Vince the clubhouse guy and I will remember, and he will remember to get you a picture.’“When I got to Boston, I kind of forgot that I asked Ted Williams [for the picture]. I was there leaning against the wall watching him hit and when he got through hitting, he came over and said, ‘I sent that picture over to you.’ Sure enough, when I went into the clubhouse, that picture was there. I thought, 'My goodness a big-time star like that remembers something like that!'”In 1959, the Indians traded Naragon to the Washington Senators where he stayed with the franchise as they moved to Minnesota in 1961. After finishing his playing career in 1962, he stayed with the Twins as a coach, helping to guide them to the 1965 World Series where they lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. 1968 Detroit Tigers World Series VictoryAfter his success with the Twins, he followed his good friend and pitching coach Johnny Sain to the Detroit Tigers. After two unsuccessful trips as a player and a coach, he was finally able to get a World Series ring when the Tigers won the 1968 World Series. “That was a good team,” he said. “They would hit in the clutch … they got hits when it really counts, they were good defensive players, and they always had a lot of fun.”Hal Naragon Tigers card courtesy of Mr. Naragon In 2018, as the oldest living alumni of the 1968 championship team, the Tigers invited Naragon and his wife to Detroit to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their World Series victory. He basked in the opportunity to rejoice once more with his former players.“We had a great time,” he said. “They invited us over to that and they really did a nice job for us.”Naragon left coaching after the 1969 season to take over a local sporting goods store in his hometown of Barberton, Ohio. He ran the store from 1974 until his 1990 retirement. The town paid a massive tribute to their native son when they named Barberton High School’s baseball field Naragon Field in his honor in 2006.
Sal “The Barber” Maglie enjoyed a terrific career going 119-62 over 10 years. But from 1950 through 1954 he was as dominant as anyone in the game. Given the nickname “The Barber” because of how he approached hitters and his game-day stubble, Maglie blossomed at the age of 33 after having spent time in the Mexican League and learning under the tutelage of former Major League pitcher Dolf Luque. Maglie, who was a star for the New York Giants, is the last player to play for the Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees. He also played in three of the most famous games in baseball history: the 1951 playoff in which Bobby Thomson hit the famous “shot heard ‘round the world”; the 1954 World Series game in which Willie Mays made his famous catch; and he was the opposing pitcher to Don Larsen in Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Peter Gordon, a longtime member of SABR, joins the podcast to talk about the terrific career of Sal “The Barber” Maglie.

The lovable, quotable Yogi Berra was a guest on Mike and the Mad Dog’s show on June 16, 2003. The Yankees great talked about catching Don Larsen’s perfect game, hitting two homers in Game 7 of the 1956 World Series, playing alongside fellow legends Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle and more. He also discussed his museum in Little Falls, New Jersey, adding that a broadcast center for college students was being built there at the time. “Maybe we could use you guys to come over and teach them,” Berra told Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo. “We’re the wrong guys to do that, Yogi!” Mad Dog joked. “It’s like you teaching hitting to somebody, OK?” Francesa added. “Don’t learn to do it like me. You can’t take the pitch off the ground and hit it into the right-field seats.”
