Len Ferman's new book, The 1973 Mets - You've Got to Believe, is a day to day saga about a Mets team that that rallied from last place with a 61-71 record on August 31 to win the National League East with an 82-79 record. The Eastern Division race that year saw five teams still in the hunt for the title in the season's final week. In the end, the Mets won the title outright on the season's final day with just 5 games separating the champs from the fifth place Chicago Cubs. The Mets shocked the 99-win Cincinnati Reds in the five-game NL Championship series then stretched the Oakland A's, the defending World Series champs, to seven games before coming up short. The team featured the great Willie Mays in his final season and future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, the 1973 NL Cy Young Award winner.

Henry Aaron hit home run No. 713 against Houston's Jerry Reuss in the series opener, but did not homer in the season's final game the next day against Houston's Dave Roberts and Don Wilson. Atlanta's manager in 1973 and for much of 1974 was Aaron's former Atlanta teammate and former Houston Astro, Eddie Matthews.

In this week's biographical chapter of ballplayers and their stories, the focus is on the baseball journey and life of the great Eddie Matthews. In tandem with Hank Aaron, the duo would become baseball's most lethal power-hitting combo to ever play the game, As the two players developed into the game's prolific power-hitters of the day, the same Braves team that had just fled the city of Boston, for the greener pastures of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only 5 years earlier, find themselves in back-to-back World Series appearances versus the dynastic New York Yankees. One of the toughest third-basemen to ever grace a diamond, he is the only player in Major League history to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, setting an enduring legacy, that will surely span generations of time and eras at the Hot Corner. #EddieMatthews #TexarkanaTexas #SantaBarbaraCalifornia #BostonBraves #MilwaukeeBraves #AtlantaBraves #WarrenSpahn #ConnieRyan #FrankRobinson #DonDrysdale #LewBurdette #BobBuhl #BobGrim #BabeRuth #ErnieBanks #JuanMarichal #HarryKalas #DonWert #DetroitTigers #HoustonAstros #JimCampbell #MayoSmith #EddieMatthewsStadium

Darryl Rhoades has been entertaining audiences with his music and comedy for over half-a-century. As founder and leader of Hahavishnu Orchestra and later as a solo artist, Rhoades recorded several albums and toured across the United States. Rhoades once even opened for The Sex Pistols! He has been featured in Rolling Stone, Village Voice and High Times. Kurt Loder (Rolling Stone, MTV) described Rhoades as,  ”one of the most savagely gifted writer/performers in the country today.”  Rhoades' new biography, "The Road to Almost: The Lean Years, 1950-2024," is a funny and fascinating read - a witty tour de force recounting Rhoades' time with characters like Frank Zappa, Leon Redbone, the Sex Pistols, Jan Hooks and Negro League Hall of Famer Buck Leonard. If laughter is the best medicine, Rex and Craig were fit as fiddles after this interview.Darryl Rhoades official site:  https://music-comedy.com/See below for our bookshop.org affiliate link or by the book from Rhoades' website or any major bookseller.Errata: Felix Mantilla reached on an error, Eddie Matthews sacrificed Mantilla to second, Henry Aaron drew an intentional walk and Joe Adcock his a three-run home run off Harvey Haddix in the bottom of the 13th, or so it seemed.

At 12:45PM on Wednesday October 2nd, Game one of the 1957 World Series took to the air. It pitted The Milwaukee Braves against The New York Yankees from Yankee Stadium in The Bronx. Bob Neal and Earl Gillespie were on the call for NBC Radio, while Mel Allen and Al Helfer telecast the game. The upstart Braves were led by future hall-of-famers Hank Aaron, Eddie Matthews and Warren Spahn. The defending champion Yankees were led by Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and manager Casey Stengel. The Braves moved to Milwaukee from Boston after the 1952 season, leaving beantown to the Red Sox, finishing in the first division the previous four seasons before breaking through and winning the 1957 NL pennant. The Yankees were playing in their twenty-third world series in thirty-seven seasons. The Braves would win the series four games to three. The next year the two teams would meet again, this time with the Yankees taking the series in seven games. The following day, comedian Artie Auerbach, best known for playing Mr. Kitzel on The Jack Benny Program passed away of a heart attack. That same day New York Times columnist Jack Gould criticized NBC for attempting to televise the World Series in color.

A long-awaited legal challenge to Cobb County's bid to keep Commissioner Jerica Richardson in office arrived Tuesday in the form of a lawsuit from east Cobb activist Larry Savage. The suit, filed in Cobb Superior Court, alleges the county's purported use of “home rule” powers to draw its own commission district lines is flatly illegal and should be tossed out. The lawsuit is the first move to challenge the county since its Democratic commissioners voted in October to replace a Republican-backed district map — one which was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp and draws Richardson out of her seat mid-term — with one drafted by state Representative Erick Allen, a Democrat from Smyrna. Allen's map, which was never voted on by the legislature, would keep Richardson within her District 2. Both maps are set to take effect January 1. If the GOP map stands, both sides agree, Richardson would immediately become ineligible for office. Richardson and the county have maintained Allen's map is law until a judge says otherwise. But Republicans argue the county is legally out of its depth and that the General Assembly is the only body which can draw commission districts. Indeed, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office sent a letter to the county last week saying the home rule effort was “very likely an unauthorized exercise of authority.” Savage's lawsuit hews closely to arguments made by state Representative  Ed Setzler, a Republican from Acworth, a co-sponsor of the GOP map. Citing a letter from Stuart Morelli, an attorney for the legislature, calling the county's action unconstitutional, Setzler asked the county Board of Elections earlier this month to affirm the state legislature's map as the law of the land. The suit names the Board of Elections and Elections Director Janine Eveler as defendants. Daniel White, the board's attorney, said he had no comment on the lawsuit. He told the MDJ last week the board was unlikely to take a side on the issue. Star players come and star players go. It's the nature of business in Major League Baseball, or any sport, for that matter. That doesn't make the departures any easier for fans, who have invested time, energy and money into their heroes on the diamond. This rings especially true for Cobb County's native son, Dansby Swanson, the all-star shortstop for the Atlanta Braves who became a free agent after the 2022 season. Swanson, a Kennesaw native and Marietta High School graduate, finalized a seven-year, $177 million deal with the Chicago Cubs this week, bringing an end to his seven-year tenure with the Braves. For some, like Braves fanatic Sam Matthews, the retired senior pastor of Marietta First United Methodist Church, Swanson's departure brings back sour memories of other stars leaving Atlanta. He said he grieved when his childhood hero, Eddie Matthews, was traded to Houston back on New Year's Eve of 1966.  He had hoped the hearts would win out in the case of Swanson. Perhaps the Braves would offer him more money than they had planned to, and Swanson, who had a breakout year in 2022, would consider taking less than other teams were willing to offer. Swanson's signing with the Cubs brings to mind another high-profile free agent departure from the Braves: Freddie Freeman, who, after 12 seasons in Atlanta, signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in March 2022. At The Battery Atlanta on Thursday, the MDJ spoke to Atlanta residents Michael and Amber Vestal on Swanson's decision to pack his bags for the Windy City. Amber Vestal, originally from Marietta and a Lassiter High graduate, will miss Swanson's flashy plays on defense. Michael Vestal will miss Swanson's “cohesive influence” and reputation as a great teammate. However, neither of them think Swanson is a generational shortstop. In fact, the Vestals said they were more disappointed about losing Freeman last year than Swanson. At the Battery on Thursday, Sara Wilton and her mother, Christy Wilton, of Johns Creek, offered their take, lamenting that the departure of Freeman and Swanson means the Braves lacked what they call “clubhouse guys.” As partial season ticket holders for the past few years — the Wiltons catch most Friday games — they grew fond of the shortstop. Christy Wilton praised Swanson for being dynamic as a gifted infielder who also delivered time and again offensively. Sara Wilton noted that the Braves All-Star second baseman, Ozzie Albies, will be back this season. Plus, she and her mother Christy noted, third baseman Austin Riley and reigning National League Rookie of the Year Michael Harris II are signed to long-term deals — and the future is strong, even without the hometown hero. Shannon Reed never considered welding as a career. An inmate at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, she thought her criminal record destined her to a life of minimum-wage work while trying to support her four children. But the Realign ReStart welding program changed that by providing her with the knowledge and skills to become a welder. Upon her release from detention, Reed will put her new skills to use at Weiler Forestry, a forestry product manufacturer. Reed is one example of an inmate in the ReAlign ReStart program. WorkSource Cobb held a ceremony for graduates of the welding and GED programs Tuesday at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, where 11 inmates graduated from the welding program and one graduated from the GED program. The ReAlign ReStart program is an initiative for inmates in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center to receive education and training, and begin a new career after their release. Eighty percent of inmates do not have a high school diploma or a GED diploma, said Sonya Grant, president and CEO of Cobb Works. The program helps provide education and skills for future employment in hopes of lowering recidivism rates and providing inmates and their families a better future, said Grant. Grant started the ReAlighn ReStart program in the Cobb jail in 2017. Technical colleges cannot keep up with the high demand for welders. The ReAlign ReStart program is helping fill these positions. In the 100-hour program, instructor Scott Edison meets with the inmates five days a week at a mobile welding station in the jail. There, they learn basic welding skills in hopes of earning an American Welding Society certificate. In the midst of the holiday season, gas prices locally and nationwide are at their lowest level in months, with the Georgia average finally dropping below $3 per gallon. Cobb gas prices have dropped a full 37 cents since November 21, a few days before Thanksgiving, according to AAA. Since then, the statewide average is down 41 cents and the national average is down 56 cents. Gas prices in Georgia hit a record high in mid-June, reaching an average of $4.49 per gallon, but have steadily declined since then. AAA attributed the slide in prices to reduced crude oil costs, which are about $50 per barrel lower than they were in the spring. Among the nine gas stations the MDJ tracks in Cobb, none posted prices higher than $3 per gallon as of Tuesday, according to data from GasBuddy. Atlanta, Savannah, and southeast Georgia's Fort Stewart are the state's most expensive gas markets, AAA said, while the Catoosa-Dade-Walker county area, Albany, and Warner Robins are the cheapest. But some of the relief Georgians have been getting as of late is set to dry up, as Gov. Brian Kemp's final suspension of the state gas tax is set to expire January 10. The 29.1-cent tax has been suspended since March, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine spiked oil prices worldwide. The East Cobb Quilters' Guild, celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, is proud of its long history of community service. Its members freely give their time and energy to create quilts, placemats and pillowcases for donation to area charities. Often gathering in small groups to sew, members also benefit from the friendships that develop and deepen while these projects are created. In 2022, the Guild donated a total of 1,362 items to local organizations: 348 quilts for Cobb County DFCS, for children who have been taken into foster care; 552 pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles, for children in hospitals in the Atlanta area and around the state of Georgia and 462 placemats for Cobb County Meals on Wheels, for older adults and disabled individuals who receive home meal delivery.

Our special guest this week is former Atlanta Braves pitcher Pat Jarvis. He spent 7 seasons with the Braves and played with/against a who’s who of Hall of Famers: Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Eddie Matthews, Willie McCovey, Ernie Banks....just to name a few. It was a fun hour talking baseball with former Brave Pat Jarvis!

It’s been nearly two years since our first look at baseball’s still-revered Milwaukee Braves, and this week – courtesy of author/historian Patrick Steele (Home of the Braves: The Battle for Baseball in Milwaukee) – we finally get the chance to go deeper into the team that, in its brief 13-season run: never posted a losing season, won two National League pennants, and, in 1957, brought “Cream City” its first and only World Series championship.  Featuring a stellar lineup of mostly Braves farm club-developed players (including eventual Hall of Famers Henry [Hank] Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Red Schoendienst, and Phil Niekro) the team immediately won the hearts of Wisconsin sports fans upon its hasty arrival from Boston in the midst of the 1953 pre-season – shattering then-modern-day attendance records, and ushering the city of Milwaukee into the world of America’s proverbial “big leagues.” The Braves' surprising success in Milwaukee during the mid-1950’s prompted Major League Baseball to redefine itself as a big business, clearing the path for: franchises to relocate beyond the sport’s Northeast and Midwest strongholds; its two leagues to expand; and teams to leverage cities in high-stakes battles for local government-subsidized facilities.   All of which, ironically, helped sowed the seeds for the club’s eventual relocation to Atlanta in 1966 – an acrimonious departure that generations of Milwaukee baseball fans still haven’t forgotten.   PLUS: “There’s No Joy Left” – polka music king Frankie Yankovic’s song of “good riddance”!

Guest Bio:Dale Murphy was chosen by the Atlanta Braves in the first round of the 1974 Major League Draft. Over the next few years, he worked his way through the Braves minor league system and made his major league debut in 1976.Although he began his career as a catcher, he spent a short time at first base and finally ended up in the outfield where he became the youngest player in history to win back-to-back MVP awards (1982 and 1983), was named to the National League All-Star team seven times, earned four Silver Slugger awards and five Gold Gloves. During his 1983 MVP season, he became the only player in history to compile a .300+ batting average, 30+ home runs, 120+ runs batted in, 130+ runs scored, 90+ bases on balls, and 30+ stolen bases in one season. During the decade spanning 1981-1990, he led the major leagues in home runs and RBIs. He also led the National League in games, at-bats, runs, hits, extra base hits, runs created, total bases, and plate appearances during that same period of time. With 7,960 at-bats, he retired in 1993 after a long and successful career with the Atlanta Braves (1974-1991), the Philadelphia Phillies (1991-1993), and the Colorado Rockies (1993.)Dale was one of the most beloved athletes to ever play in Atlanta. His number (#3) was only the fifth in Braves history to be retired joining those of baseball greats Hank Aaron, Eddie Matthews, Warran Spahn, and Phil Niekro and hangs today in Turner Field.Known as one of the true gentlemen of the game, Dale has always led by example, giving his time and lending his name to numerous charities throughout the years. In 1987, he was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the “Sportsmen and Sportswomen of the Year,” representing baseball as the athlete “Who Cares the Most” and was honored as such by President Ronald Reagan at the White House.Dale received other humanitarian-related awards during his career including The Lou Gehrig Award (given to the player who best fits the image and character of Lou Gehrig on and off the field), The Roberto Clemente Award (given annually to one major league player in recognition of his character and charitable contributions) and the Bart Giamatti Award. After his retirement, Dale was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame.​Dale has also written two books: “The Scouting Report: Professional Athletics” and “The Scouting Report: Youth Athletics”Dale is a sought-after business and motivational speaker and divides his time between charity work, church work, and his family. He and his wife, Nancy, are the parents of eight children (seven sons and one daughter) and nine grandchildren.

The lineage behind what is today’s Atlanta Braves is one of the longest, deepest and most uniquely enduring in all of professional baseball.  With early roots dating back to the launch of 1871’s National Association (when they were based in Boston, and known simply as the “Red Stockings”), the later-renamed Braves franchise boldly moved to the greener pastures of Milwaukee in 1953 – where for 13 years, the team never endured a losing season, won two National League pennants, and, in 1957, brought the city its first and only World Series championship.  With a talented lineup featuring future Hall of Famers Henry Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Red Schoendienst, and Phil Niekro, the team immediately won the hearts of fans, shattered modern-day attendance records, and ushered the city of Milwaukee into the world of the “big leagues.”  In the process, the Milwaukee Braves' success prompted Major League Baseball to redefine itself as a big business—clearing the path for franchises to  relocate west, its two leagues to expand, and teams to leverage cities in high-stakes battles for civically funded facilities.  But the Braves' instant success made their rapid fall from grace in the early 1960s all the more stunning, as declining attendance and local political greed led the team to Atlanta in one of the ugliest divorces between a city and baseball franchise in sports history.     In this supremely revelatory conversation, TV documentary director/producer and author (and Wisconsin native) Bill Povletich (Milwaukee Braves: Heroes and Heartbreak; A Braves New World) joins Tim Hanlon to discuss the historical importance of the Braves’ time in Milwaukee, and some of the specific events and personalities that shaped it. Our continued thanks to our friends at Podfly and Audible for their support of the show!

It was the home of Hank Aaron, Eddie Matthews, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. Although long gone, Milwaukee’s County Stadium was the venue where Wisconsin fell in love with big league baseball.  Baseball writer and researcher Gregory Wolf is the editor of a new book examining some of the greatest games at the Milwaukee ballpark. Later, a college football attendance record could be set this weekend as Tennessee and Virginia Tech square off at Bristol Motor Speedway.  Beyond the Flag reporter Christopher Olmstead has a preview and looks at efforts to build a football venue in the middle of a NASCAR infield. And, Stadiums USA’s Mark Madorin looks at stadium changes across the NFL as the regular season gets underway.
