Send us a textJonathan Mayo didn't set out to become baseball's prospect guru, but after more than two decades covering future stars before anyone knows their names, he's become the voice baseball fans trust to identify tomorrow's talent.In this revealing conversation, Mayo takes us behind the curtain of baseball talent evaluation, sharing how his journey from newspaper journalism to MLB.com transformed into a specialized career tracking the game's brightest young prospects. From his early days walking past Frank Robinson's office where future Padres GM AJ Preller worked as an assistant, Mayo's career has given him unique access to stars before they were stars.What truly sets Mayo apart is his approach to prospect evaluation—balancing old-school scouting with modern analytics. "I'm a reporter," Mayo explains, describing how he collects insights from scouts and executives rather than relying solely on his own observations. This methodology has allowed him to build relationships with players from high school through the major leagues, with many stars appreciating that he was "the first one who ever wrote about me."The conversation delves into fascinating territory around player development philosophy, highlighting the dangers of organizations leaning too heavily on either analytics or traditional scouting. Mayo advocates for multi-sport athletes and appreciates teams willing to bet on raw athleticism rather than just refined skills. He shares stories of under-the-radar prospects who surprised everyone and the human element that statistics can't capture—how players handle adversity, their feel for the game, and what makes them tick.Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan wanting to understand how future stars are identified or simply curious about the human stories behind prospect evaluation, Mayo's insights reveal why baseball development remains as much art as science—and why that's what makes the game so special.Have you ever wondered how baseball's next superstars are discovered? Listen now to hear from the man who's made a career finding tomorrow's talent before anyone else knows their names.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

1975 was a banner year for Rookies in Major League Baseball. Fred Lynn broke onto the scene in Boston and won Rookie of the Year and MVP… the first player ever to do that. And in the National League, John, “The Count” Montefusco took home the honors of National League Rookie of the Year. The Giants hurler narrowly beat out The Kid, Gary Carter, who went on to have a Hall of Fame career as a catcher. The only other player to get a vote for American League Rookie of the Year was Lynn's teammate, a future Hall of Famer himself, Jim Rice who had a fantastic freshman year. The 3rd Hall of Famer in that rookie class was a pitcher in Cleveland by the name of Dennis Eckersley. But he wasn't the only young stud on that staff… Enter The Amazing Emu… Jim Kern.  A non-drafted pitcher out of Midland, Michigan, Kern didn't rise quickly through the minors and took a detour when he joined the marines in 1969. After a year of serving and 5 more in the reserves, Kern's baseball career started to take off and after a brief callus to the bigs in '74, he came up for good in '75. As a starter he had inconsistent success but with Frank Robinson as his manager, he converted to a receiver in 1976 and a star was born. One of the hardest throwers in the game, Kern took to his new role immediately, winning 10 games and saving 15 with an ERA of 2.37 over 117 innings. He was an American League All-Star the next three seasons culminating in 1979 when he won 13 games out of the pen and saved another 29 while amassing 143 innings with an ERA of 1.57. A season for the ages for the 6'5 flamethrower. Unfortunately injuries plagued Kern for much of the rest of his career. He bounced around the league and other than a resurgence in 1982 for a bad Reds team, he never was as dominant as he was during that 4-year stretch from 1976-79… On the Past Our Prime podcast, Kern tells us about his journey from being undrafted out of high school, to the marines to a 3-time All-Star reliever from 1977 to 1979. He tells us about his days in Cleveland that included playing for the first black manager in baseball history, Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and being on the same pitching staff as another Hall of Famer, Dennis Eckersley. Kern speaks fondly of many teammates including Gaylord Perry, Pat Dobson, Sparky Lyle and Boog Powell who taught this “dumbass rookie” as much about being a pitcher as anyone he ever came across. And this baseball character tells us about the best prank he ever took part in, and how Buddy Bell got his revenge! It's a bunch of laughs with one of the funniest relief pitchers of the late 70's who could throw the ball about as hard as anyone for a brief, yet electric time in Cleveland and Texas.

Frank Robinson accomplished as much in the game of baseball, as anyone ever has; National League Rookie Of The Year, An MVP in both leagues, MVP of a World Series. MVP of an All-Star game, a Gold Glove Winner, American League Manager Of The Year, a Triple Crown winner, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal Of Freedom. His accomplishments on the diamond, led to his Hall Of Fame induction in 1982, in recognition of being one of the finest players in the history of the game. In 1975, he becomes the first black manager in the history of Major League Baseball, fulfilling Jackie Robinson's dream, and cementing his own legacy as a racial pioneer. But Frank wouldn't want to be remembered as a racial pioneer. He would prefer to be immortalized as a baseball player who perfected his craft, and a leader of men, to do things they never thought possible. This is the great Frank Robinson. #FrankRobinson #McCleymondsHighSchool #VadaPinson #CurtFlood #BillRussel #GeorgePowels #BobbyMattick #CincinnatiReds #BaltimoreOrioles #LosAngelesDodgers #CaliforniaAngels #ClevelandIndians #SanFranciscoGiants #MontrealExpos #WashingtonNationals #JimPalmer #BrooksRobinson #EarlWeaver

Send us a textFounded in 1901, the AL contains teams like #Yankees and #RedSox who have an epic list in their top 5 for players hitting home runs while a member of the franchise. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, David "Big Papi' Ortiz, Jim Rice, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra are all in their teams top 5. All are HOFer.. Aaron Judge is outside the Yankee top five but he's closing fast.  Then there's the #orioles. Another original #AmericanLeague team, they started as the Milwaukee Brewers for one year before moving to St. Louis and becoming the Browns. HOFers Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr. and Frank Robinson are in the top 5. But Besides being mostly terrible, the Browns had few home run threats. The #bluejays and #Rays are more recent additions but only Fred McGriff is in the top five of either team and is a HOFer. Carlos Delgado rules the roost for Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion has 424 career homers not 434 #guardians #tigers #whitesox #twins #royals have familiar names in their top two but once you go deeper it gets more difficult. #athletics #angels #rangers #astros #mariners have a few HOFers on their list.Link to an article by Mark - https://almostcooperstown.substack.com/p/career-home-run-leaders-for-each-be7?r=6m2o9Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Five Cool Things About December 1 in Baseball history When was the DH first discussed? 1911 - Hall of Fame Manager Walter Alston was Born. Alston put himself through College playing pool, and despite just 1 at bat, would eventually come to manage the Dodgers from 1954 to 1976. 1928 - The DH narrowly gets voted down by the AL 1948 - George Foster is born and becomes a key cog in the big Red Machine blasting 52 homeruns in 1977.1956 - Frank Robinson who tied the NK Rookie HR record with 38, wins the NL ROY. Luis Aparicio wins the AL Award. They will be teammates in Cooperstown some 20 odd years later. 1965 - The KC A's get Joe Rudi back from Cleveland. It will be a key trade as he becomes a gold glove outfielder and contributor to the three title teams

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award unanimously, and the Dodgers made a slew of roster moves in the last week. Ohtani is the only MLB player ever with more than one unanimous MVP win, and he's done so in three of the last four years. He joined Frank Robinson as the only players to win MVP in both the American League and National League. We also look at the Dodgers making some roster moves in the last week, which featured deadlines to set reserve lists for the Rule 5 Draft and to tender contracts to players on the 40-man roster. And Chris Woodward will be the first base coach in 2025, replacing Clayton McCullough who left to manage the Marlins. Left-hander Jack Dreyer was added to the roster after strong numbers in Triple-A and Double-A this season. Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May, both of whom missed all of 2024 after elbow surgery, avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to terms on contracts for 2025.  Postseason cult hero Brent Honeywell and left-hander Zach Logue were non-tendered, making them free agents. Both pitchers are out of options, as is Connor Brogdon, who was sent outright to Triple-A but opted for free agency instead. We analyze the Dodgers 40-man roster, which now has 36 players, including 22 pitchers and 14 position players. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network.

Frank Robinson was the first black manager when the Cleveland Indians hired him, but there was another black player who managed before Robbie . . . . On November 4, 1948 Jake Powell, 39, former big league baseball star, shot himself to death in Washington police headquarters late today while being questioned on bad check charges.Powell had been picked up at the Union Station the complaint of a local hotel where he had been staying the past three days. After Powell was taken to the check and fraud division of local police headquarters and during the questioning police said he asked permission to leave the room for several minutes. Police said he stepped outside the door pulled out a 25-caliber revolver and shot himself once in the chest and once in the right temple. With him when he was taken into custody was a woman who identified herself as Josephine Amder, of Deland, Fla. she told police she and Powell had planned to be married during the day, but later changed their plans.But Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, to whom the ballplayer had been married several years, said she was still his wife and as far as she was concerned there had been no separation.On November 4, 1889 — After a formal meeting of representatives from all National League chapters, the Brotherhood issues a “Manifesto” in which it claims that “players have been bought, sold and exchanged as though they were sheep instead of American citizens.” This bold statement constitutes a declaration of war between the Brotherhood and major league officials which will soon explode into the formation of the Players League.86 years later . . . .On November 4, 1976 — The first mass-market free agent re-entry draft is held at the New York Plaza Hotel.

October 16th 2004 The Yankees lead the ALCS two games to noneover the Red Sox with Game 3 in Fenway Park. As in the first two games, theYankees began by scoring in the first and quickly building a 3-0 lead. The RedSox answered in the second inning with a leadoff walk by Jason Varitek and aTrot Nixon home run to right field. A double by Bill Mueller, an infield hit byJohnny Damon (his first hit of the series), and a Derek Jeter error led to twomore runs. The Red Sox led for the first time in the series, 4–3. This lead wasshort-lived as ARod led off the third inning with a home run over the GreenMonster and the Yankees would build a 6-4 lead. By the end of the third, theSox would even things up at 6 apiece off a double by Orlando Cabrera. That wasas good as it would get for the Sox for the rest of the night. When it was allover, the two teams combined for 37 hits and 20 extra-base hits, bothpostseason records. At four hours and twenty minutes, the game was the longestnine-inning postseason game ever played. The Yankees destroyed Boston, 19 -8 ,amidst chants from Yankee fans of“Nine-teen -Eight-teen”...the last time the Red Sox won a World Series.

Jackie Robinson's Speech - October 15, 1972 - his last public speech Jackie Robinson is by no means the greatest player in baseball history. He holds no cherished records in the manner of a Hank Aaron or a Joe DiMaggio, and his career numbers fall far short of the statistical milestones by which we currently measure “greatness”. But as former Negro League star Buck O'Neill once observed, Robinson may not have been the best player of his era, but he was the right player for the task history set before him. As such, Jackie Robinson is the pivotal figure in baseball's narrative and perhaps its greatest hero. Only a man with Robinson's singular mix of talent, tenacity, and temperament could have taken up the lonely task of breaking baseball's color barrier. No player before or since has had to perform under the weight of such a great burden. On one shoulder, Robinson bore the hopes and future aspirations of a people too long denied their share of the American promise; on the other, he bore the fierce scorn and violent enmity of those who preferred that baseball, and American life in general, remain a segregated affair. That he rose to the challenge and thrived under the pressure was an affirmation of America's founding principle, the proposition that all men are indeed created equal. His triumph, coming a full seven years before Rosa Parks' defiant “sit”, can be seen as the first great victory of the modern civil rights movement. Martin Luther King, Jr, who followed Robinson's exploits as a teenager, hailed him as “a pilgrim that walked in the lonesome byways toward the high road of Freedom… a sit-inner before sit-ins, a freedom rider before freedom rides.” His success paved the way for a new generation of superstars – Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Frank Robinson, to name but a few - who would go on to revolutionize the game and help redefine American culture.Jackie's Career Highlights:https://thisdayinbaseball.com/jackie-robinsonjackie-robinson-career-highlights/

In June 2012, at age 76, he was appointed Major League Baseball's executive vice president of player development. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, Robinson remains the only player in history to win the MVP award in both the American and National Leagues. Robinson passed away in 2019 at the age of 83. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

October 3, 1951 - Bobby Thomson hits a three-run home run off Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the New York Giants a dramatic 5 -- 4 playoff victory and the National League pennant. Seeing the ball disappear over the fence, Thomson hopped crazily around the bases, then disappeared into the mob of teammates who had gathered at home plate. The stunned Dodger players trudged off the field - all except Jackie Robinson. No doubt knowing of "Merkle's Boner" 43 years earlier, he watched to be sure Thomson touched every base before he, too, headed for the clubhouse. The blast would become known in baseball lore as the Shot Heard 'Round the World.October 3, 1976 - Hank Aaron singles in his last major-league at bat and drives in his 2,297th run as the sixth-place Brewers lose to the Tigers 5 - 2.October 3, 1999 - On the final day of the season, Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals hits his 65th home run, moving past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into 10th place on the career list with 522. McGwire finishes with a two-homer edge over Chicago's Sammy Sosa, who hits his 63rd on the same day.October 3, 2009 - St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols ties a major league record with his 184th assist of the season.

October 3, 1951 - Bobby Thomson hits a three-run home run off Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the New York Giants a dramatic 5 -- 4 playoff victory and the National League pennant. Seeing the ball disappear over the fence, Thomson hopped crazily around the bases, then disappeared into the mob of teammates who had gathered at home plate. The stunned Dodger players trudged off the field - all except Jackie Robinson. No doubt knowing of "Merkle's Boner" 43 years earlier, he watched to be sure Thomson touched every base before he, too, headed for the clubhouse. The blast would become known in baseball lore as the Shot Heard 'Round the World.October 3, 1976 - Hank Aaron singles in his last major-league at bat and drives in his 2,297th run as the sixth-place Brewers lose to the Tigers 5 - 2.October 3, 1999 - On the final day of the season, Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals hits his 65th home run, moving past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into 10th place on the career list with 522.

He matches the mark set by Bill Buckner with the Red Sox in 1985.

Tony Beasley is the third base coach of the Texas Rangers. Originally selected in the 19th round of the 1989 MLB Draft as a player, Beasley played 10 seasons of minor-league ball from 1989-1998, making two Carolina League All-Star teams, but he never made it to the major leagues. After retiring from playing, Beasley went into coaching and achieved his MLB dream by becoming a coach with the Washington Nationals under manager Frank Robinson. After spending four seasons in Washington, Beasley moved to the Pirates organization. In 2015, he was named to his current role with the Rangers. In February 2016, Beasley was diagnosed with rectal cancer, forcing him to miss the start of the 2016 season. He was declared cancer-free in December 2016. Today on the podcast, we talk to Tony Beasley about being a 2023 World Series champion, praying for God to be glorified, representing Jesus in baseball and trusting God in the midst of trials.

If you're looking for the greatest baseball dynasty, you have to consider the Alou brothers. Three exceptional ball players—Felipe, Matty and Jesús—hold a joint first as the first 'three brothers on one team' when they all played for the Giants against the Mets on September 10, 1963. Between them, they gather World Series rings, All-Star appearances, and batting championships before moving into the back offices of various clubs and influencing countless up-and-coming players, including Felipe's son Luis (who would go on to manage the New York Mets in 2019). It's Felipe Alou we're going to highlight. As well as seventeen years playing in the majors, his fourteen years of managing put him in rare company… only himself, Joe Torre, and Frank Robinson have racked up 2000 hits, 200 home runs, and 1,000 managerial wins. All that is ahead of him. For today's classic game, Alou is Milwaukee's lead-off hitter as they visit Shea Stadium in a doubleheader against the New York Mets. The Braves took the first game 8-2. Can they build on their 10-10 record for the year? Over to WGY Radio for the second game. You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN196505092.shtml This game was played on 9 May, 1965. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

Welcome to another season of Everybody Needs a Nudge, where we bring you inspiring stories of resilience, determination, and triumph. In this episode, we have the incredible journey of Matt Lazowski, a man whose life has been a testament to the power of using difficulty as a stepping stone. Born and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut, Matt's upbringing was shaped by the experiences of his father, a Holocaust survivor. After enduring the unimaginable, Matt's father found a new life in America, becoming a plumber after spending two years living in the woods. A pivotal mentorship changed Matt's trajectory with high school football coach Frank Robinson, who imparted valuable lessons: Taking his advice to heart, Matt excelled on the football field, playing center and guard while also focusing on the fundamentals of life – where attention to the little things ensures that the big things take care of themselves. His academic journey led him to Syracuse University, where he studied Psychology and TV Production. There, he forged a lifelong friendship with his roommate, Derek. After college, Matt joined his father in the plumbing business, attending tech school at night to become a master plumber. However, life took another turn when he transitioned into the tech industry for transportation and parking. Matt soon ventured into entrepreneurship, creating his own business with a northeast territory and relocating to Sudbury. As 2020 unfolded and the world faced unprecedented challenges, Matt decided it was time for a change. Fueled by the philosophy of "life's too short," he transitioned to a completely different field, entering the world of mortgages at Fairway Mortgage. Today, he stands as a top 10 loan officer for the company and is among the top 1% in the country. Join us in this riveting conversation with Matt Lazowski as he shares his journey of using difficulty as a driving force and embracing the philosophy that "life's too short" to settle for anything less than what makes you truly happy.

The Orioles were born the Milwaukee Brewers as an original AL franchise in 1901. They left for St. Louis after one year and became the St. Louis Browns for the next 52 years before finally decamping for Baltimore in 1954.  They never won a World Series in in St. Louis although they did reach the Fall Classic in 1944 losing the 'Streetcar' or 'Trolley' Series to their archrivals the Cardinals. But once the Orioles got started they became a force and won three WS between 1966 and 1983.  We talk about the HOF players that populated the Oriole infield, the HOF pitchers and of course Frank Robinson in the outfield.  Who were the best players in franchise history?  And yes Roberto Alomar was not only a HOFer but like Eddie Murray he was also a switch hitter.  Correction: Milt Pappas never was a 20-game winner.  Earl Weaver won 1 WS as manager.   Again thanks to all of our listeners and followers.
