Send us a textEven before Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis banned eight #Whitesox players for their attempted fix of the 1919 World Series, players had been banned, blacklisted and banished from baseball mostly for trying to fix games but not always. Once Commissioner Landis was given the job and power to kick players and people out of baseball he used it liberally as did his successors. Even Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were banned from #MLB in 1983 for being greeters at different casinos in Atlantic City. Finally Peter Ueberroth un-banned them which might have been his finest moment as commish. Sometimes it's gambling, other times drugs, and still other instances are even more serious and criminal. We talk about the difference between black-listing and blackballing and how #baseball hopes one of the other major sports has a gambling scandal before MLB does. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Michael Rooker is known for playing a variety of menacing and intense characters. But menace was something he was always good at, as the protective older brother of six sisters. And intensity is often something people misread because he's hard of hearing. Michael talks with Marc about growing up in Alabama with no electricity or running water, his bus driver's outfit helping him land Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, his epic Eight Men Out casting story, his embrace of the comic book world by way of Guardians of the Galaxy, and his Horizon reunion with JFK co-star Kevin Costner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Edna O'Brien (1930-2024) ​​​​​The great Irish novelist and playwright Edna O'Brien died at the age of 93 on July 27, 2024 after a long illness. A controversial figure from the start, her first novel from 1960, The Country Girls, which dealt with sexual and social issues in Ireland following World War II, was banned in Ireland and denounced on the pulpit, and while she moved to London with her husband before publication, she never moved back to her native land. This interview was conducted in the KPFA studios on April 28, 2000 while she was on tour for her novel, “Wild Decembers,” third in a thematic trilogy of novels set in the recent past in Ireland. It was later adapted for television in 2008.. Of Edna O'Brien, from Wikipedia, the novelist Andrew O'Hagan wrote, “She changed the nature of Irish fiction, she brought the woman's experience and sex and internal lives of those people on to the page, and she did it with style, and she made those concerns international.” In her lifetime, Edna O'Brien wrote seventeen novels, several plays, eight short story collections, eight works of non-fiction, four children's books and a collection of poems. Edna O'Brien continued to write novels and plays well into her nineties. Her final novel, Girl, was published in 2019. This interview was digitized, remastered and edited in August 2024 and is heard for the first time in its entirety. A second interview, recorded in 2003 while in San Francisco working on her play “Triptych” at the Magic Theatre will be posted on a later date.     John Sayles discusses his latest novel, “Jamie MacGillivray, The Renegade's Journey,” along with his work as a writer and film-maker, with host Richard Wolinsky. Second of two parts. John Sayles is best known for his work as a director, screenwriter and actor, though this is his sixth novel. Among the films he directed are Lone Star, Sunshine State, Eight Men Out, Matewan, The Brother from Another Planet, Baby It's You and Passion Fish. His acting credits include small roles in several films, and he wrote the screenplay for the films he directed.

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

"Say it ain't so Joe."  Eight Men Out (1988) written and directed by John Sayles and starring John Cusack, Christopher Lloyd, David Strathairn, D.B. Sweeney, and Michael Rooker. Next Time: The Misfits (1961)

Eight Men Out (1988) is a dramatization of professional baseball's infamous Black Sox scandal, in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with gamblers to intentionally lose the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. The film, which was directed by John Sayles, is based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book, Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It recounts how a group of White Sox players conspired with an array of gamblers, including notorious underworld financier Arnold Rothstein (a/k/a “The Big Bankroll”), to throw the series in return for cash. After the Sox, who some consider one of the greatest baseball teams of all time, lose the series, suspicions grow that there had been a fix based on rumors and the nature of some players' poor performances. Eight players are charged with conspiracy and tried in Chicago in 1921. Although the players are all acquitted, baseball's new commissioner, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, banishes them all for life from baseball, a bold move that some believe saved the game of baseball, which was still in its relative infancy, and enabled it to become “America's pastime.” Debates around the events continue to this day, including over the level of involvement of some players and the draconian nature of the punishment. With me to discuss this movie are Robert Boland and Brett Max Kaufman.  Timestamps:0:00      Introduction4:19      Baseball circa 191910:30   Betting and game fixing in baseball17:43   The reserve clause 20:17   Unpacking the verdict at the Black Sox trial22:48   Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis: Baseball's first commissioner31:35   The treatment of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and the Black Sox35:35   Sportswriters  40:18   The reemergence of sports gambling50:32   A memorable John Sayles film53:34   Class and culture in baseball55:18   The lasting impact of the Black Sox scandal Further reading:Asinof, Eliot, Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series (1963)Lamb, William F., Black Sox in the Courtroom: The Grand Jury, Criminal Trial, and Civil Litigation (2013)Linder, Douglas, The Black Sox Trial: An Account (2007) Pachman, Matthew B, “Limits on Discretionary Powers of Professional Sports Commissioners: A Historical and Legal Analysis of Issues Raised by the Pete Rose Controversy,”  76 Va.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we're honored to chat with iconic director John Sayles, whose essential crime epic Lone Star is now available from The Criterion Collection in both 4K UHD + Blu-ray. Our B-Sides today include Limbo, Amigo, and Go For Sisters. We also discuss Sayles' parallel careers as a screenwriter and a novelist. He talks about the work he did on the Toshirô Mifune/Scott Glenn actioner The Challenge (director John Frankenheimer asking him to write new draft over a weekend before an impending strike); he discusses what he learned working for Roger Corman early in his career; which genre he's still itching to direct; his love of the recent Godzilla Minus One; and the slew of scripts that never got made. Other Sayles movies to seek out (really it's all of them) include: The Secret of Roan Inish, Passion Fish, Eight Men Out, City of Hope, The Brother from Another Planet, Return of the Secaucus 7, and Men with Guns. Other mentions include the 1939 Philippine–American War film The Real Glory, La fine della notte from 1989 (the first Italian film with sync sound, which Sayles acted in!), and his recent novel Jamie MacGillivray. There's also his wonderful 2020 fracking novel Yellow Earth. Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.

The 1919 World Series was maybe the most famous baseball scandal in history. It was known as the Black Sox Scandal, when eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing the 1919 World Series in exchange for money from a gambling syndicate. It ended up being the subject of the 1998 film “Eight Men Out.” One of those men was Charles “Swede” Risberg. He, along with his teammates involved in the scandal, were kicked out of the league — and ended up in southern Minnesota. MPR News guest host Chris Farrell spoke with Randy Anderson, the executive director of the Faribault County Historical Society.

Scandal beset baseball's biggest contest on 9th October, 1919, when members of the Chicago White Sox conspired to lose the World Series to underdogs the Cincinnati Reds, in return for a slice of gambling profits. There had been numerous attempts to fix high-profile games before, but the ‘Black Sox' affair was the first time America at large became aware of dodgy dealings behind-the-scenes - and the outrage rocked the country. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the role of notorious gangster Arnold Rothstein; question whether White Sox players were in fact underpaid in the era; and explain why the lines between truth and fiction were deliberately blurred in ‘Eight Men Out', Eliot Asinof's 1963 book about the case...  Further Reading: • ‘The 1919 Black Sox Baseball Scandal Was Just One of Many' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2017): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/1919-black-sox-baseball-scandal-wasnt-first-180964673/ • ‘Arnold Rothstein: The Drug Kingpin Who Fixed The 1919 World Series' (All Thats Interesting, 2022): https://allthatsinteresting.com/arnold-rothstein • ‘Eight Men Out: Banned From Baseball' (Orion Pictures, 1988): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ME7WkPyC8 This episode first premiered in 2022, for members of
