In the spring of 1975, the Red Sox came racing out of the gate led by a trio of outfielders who were making a mark in the American League… Dwight Evans first came on the scene in 1972 and was now the everyday right fielder. Joining him in '75 in left was future Hall of Famer Jim Rice who would have a spectacular rookie season finishing 3rd in the league in the MVP race and 2nd in Rookie of the Year. That's because the guy manning center in Fenway had an even better first season in the bigs. Fred Lynn would go on to become the first player ever to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season, a feat only matched one other time when Ichiro Suzuki did it in 2001. And for Lynn and the Sox fans, it was love at first sight. The 23-year old kid won the CF job out of Spring Training and never looked back… He would finish the season with a .331 average, 21 home runs and 105 RBI's while also winning a Gold Glove for his defensive prowess in centerfield. It was a season for the ages for Lynn and the Sox that culminated in one of the All-time classic World Series matchups between the Sox and the Big Red Machine that went 7 games after one of the most famous October HR's ever... a shot by Carlton Fisk that won arguably the greatest World Series game ever played…  That Game 6 contest was a moment in sports where the people of Boston for years would ask… ‘Where were you for Game 6?” The answer for a young Dan Shaughnessy was… Fenway Park… Years before the Hall of Fame writer was hired by the Boston Globe to cover the team he grew up loving, Dan was there with his sister taking in one of the greatest games he ever witnessed… and he's seen a lot… from that Game 6, to Bucky Dent's blast in '78, to the euphoria of Dave Henderson's HR that helped propel the '86 Sox back to the World Series to the Buckner play that same October that kept the curse alive to Boone's HR in '03 and the comeback that ended 86 years of futility in 2004… Shaughnessy has literally covered it all. The author of a dozen books including One Strike Away, The Curse of the Bambino, and Reversing the Curse: Inside the 2004 Boston Red Sox, nobody knows the Sox of the last 50 years better than this kid from Groton, MA who's had a birds eye view of it all and access to the players and team like no other. Shaughnessy tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how his friend and mentor Peter Gammons told them all to watch out for this kid from USC who was going to be the next big thing in Boston and how Freddie Lynn started hot, and never stopped in that magical Rookie season of '75. It would be almost 30 more years before the Red Sox broke the curse and Shaughnessy relives the highs, the lows, the ups and the downs of that Sox ride beginning 50 years ago, when a young phenom from L.A. took New England by storm and had a season we're still talking about on the Past Our Prime podcast.

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.

Free agency doesn't seem that complicated, but 44 years ago this week, the Boston Red Sox made a colossal error, accidentally non-tendering two of their biggest stars, Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk. Mike and Bill trace the careers of two of the 1970s and 1980s best players, find out what went so wrong at the end of 1980, and sort through the fallout of one of baseball's biggest blunders.

Jim is joined by former MLB center fielder Fred Lynn to discuss his illustrious baseball career. We cover his athletic career at USC, his ridiculous 1975 rookie season with the Boston Red Sox, and what playing in the same outfield with Jim Rice and Dwight Evans was like (6:09). We also found time to discuss his former HOF teammate Carl Yastrzemski, his grand slam in the 1983 All-Star Game, and what being inducted into Cooperstown would mean to him (17:32).

Fredric Michael Lynn was born on February 3, 1952He arrived on the big league scene like a bolt of lightning through the evening sky. Fred Lynn played in his first game on September 5, 1974 and proceeded to smash major league pitching to the tune of a .419 batting average and a .698 slugging average over his first 15 games. He followed that up with one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time, leading the Red Sox to the World Series and earning the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Gold Glove awards for the 1975 season. Lynn was the first player to achieve this trifecta, an accomplishment matched by Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners in 2001.Fred Lynn had the greatest coming out party in baseball history in 1975, when as a rookie, he played a stellar center field for the Red Sox and earned the American League Most Valuable Player Award. All season, opposing pitchers searched in vain for a way to get the left-handed hitter out, and all season they were left scratching their heads. Lynn hit .331 in his freshman campaign, and followed it with a .314 mark in 1976, but injuries kept him out of the lineup all too frequently for the remainder of his career. He was healthy in 1978 and 1979, and in the latter year, he had his best overall campaign, belting 39 homers to go with 122 RBI, 116 runs scored, 42 doubles, 82 walks, and a .333 average. But after he was traded by Boston to the Angels, he was never quite the same player. He did recapture his magic twice after leaving Red Sox Nation, however. In 1983 he hit the first grand slam in All-Star Game history, and in the 1982 League Championship Series, he punished Brewers' pitchers for a .611 batting average and 11 hits in the Angels' five-game defeat. Seemingly destined to become one of the game's greats, Lynn never met those lofty (and unfair) expectations, but he still produced 306 homers and more than 1,100 RBI in his injury-riddled career.After he collected 11 hits in five games and batted .611 in the 1982 Playoffs, Fred Lynn became the first player on a losing team to be named Most Valuable Player in a League Championship Series.

I asked him about the golf ball distance issue since his average driving distance hasn't changed much at age 58 since his days playing on the PGA Tour. We also talked about the potential of Tiger playing on the Champions Tour. He said based on conversations he's had, it looks like Tiger will play several tournaments a year but he goes on to say that their "supposed leader" PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, didn't like it when the Champions Tour ratings beat the PGA Tour's the week Phil played his first Champions Tour event. When I asked why, isn't it all in the family, he said you'll have to ask Jay Monahan that question.

Hope you enjoy this episode Dad! Murph starts things off with a laugh as he comments on Sox outfielder/D.H. J.D. Martinez wears a shirt of Tom Brady hammered at his Super Bowl parade. Too bad Brady didn't just win that Super Bowl as a Patriot /: Also for the Sox, there are rumored extensions coming for a player or players but we don't know who yet.

Fred Lynn fell in love with fishing after spending a summer with his Grandfather. Fredric Michael Lynn (born February 3, 1952) is a former baseball player who played MLB from 1974 through 1990 as a center fielder with the Boston Red Sox, California Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres. He was the first player to win MLB's Rookie of the Year Award and Most Valuable Player Award in the same year, which he accomplished in 1975 with the Red Sox.Lynn was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2002 and to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007

This was our first of two interviews with the great Fred Lynn. The first person to win the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards (the only other is Ichiro Suzuki) and added the gold Glove award for good measure (which also had never been done by a Rookie). During his 7 years in Boston, Fred batted 308 with an OBP of 383 and an OPS of 902. He finished his 17 year career batting .283 with 300 homers and 1111 RBIs. Enjoy Fred's infectious enthusiasm!To live my best version, I have tapped into blinkist.com. I'm getting a burst of micro learning from over 3000 books in their non fiction library.

NOTE: This is a free sample of a members only Patreon podcast available here: https://www.patreon.com/BreakfastTablePodcast?fan_landing=true Mike and Scott discuss their picks in the 1,440-team, 120-league Scott Fishbowl. The very unique scoring is reviewed. Did Mike execute his plan on maximizing expected pick value given all positions are essentially equal? Can you do similarly in your upcoming draft? I guess it depends if you can live with something like one running back through 12 rounds. Does superflex always mean "two QB"? Scott and Mike somehow end up with two of the same QBs. What are the ADP surprises in ADP? Where are their two leagues eerily similar and wildly divergent? It's 99% football but they still manage to argue about Fred Lynn in a sidebar on Alex Verdugo.

In 1979, Fred Lynn won the slash line triple crown by leading the AL in batting average, OBP, and slugging... but he came in fourth in the MVP balloting. Did any others with comparable seasons do as poorly in the MVP voting? What does the answer tell us? (Hint: Larry Walker is the star of this episode.)

Back in the 1970s and early 80s, Red Sox centerfielder Fred Lynn was one of the greatest players in the Major Leagues. He won the MVP and Rookie of the Year in 1975 (and deserved to win the MVP again in 1979), he was an All Star nine years in a row and a starter six times, and he was the ALCS MVP in 1982 even though he was on the losing team (let that sink in). In this special episode, Pesach and Scott talk to Fred Lynn about his three College World Series championships at USC, his thoughts on the 1978 Red Sox collapse, how he looks at his stats with the benefit of hindsight, the way he played his best on the biggest stages, and much more.

You can't burst onto the scene any bigger than Fred Lynn did. The spotlight of a big market team..the hope of perhaps breaking the 57 year World Series drought in Boston..and the 1975 Rookie of the Year AND MVP leading his team into a Game 7 to cap off what would have been called one of the Greatest seasons ever for a young player in the Games history.. He'll talk about that and so much here..

Baseball legend Fred Lynn talks with us for the second time, this time about the mental agony of injuries and adjusting to baseball retirement. Fred was the first person to win the Rookie of the Year Award AND the MVP. He did it in 1975. Fred is a delightfully positive person filled with an "abundance mentality". Enjoy.

Boston Red Sox Legend Fred Lynn joined the Rob Dibble Show.

Turn about is fair play so Biz and Brian stop in at Fred Lynn Middle to have a Conversation with the always relentless, Mr. Hamish Brewer.

In 1978, the Red Sox blew a 14-game lead to the Yankees and the teams ended up in a one game playoff for the division title. That season and that playoff game are major blocks in the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, one of the most enduring in sports. The Yankees’ Lou Piniella and Boston’s Fred Lynn […] The post Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry | Ep 3 appeared first on the Sports Rivals podcast.

Free agency doesn't seem that complicated, but 38 years ago this week, the Boston Red Sox made a colossal error, accidentally non-tendering two of their biggest stars, Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk. Mike and Bill trace the careers of two of the 1970s and 1980s biggest stars, find out what went so wrong at the end of 1980, and sort through the fallout of one of baseball's biggest blunders. Plus, happy birthday to Andy Van Slyke and Moose Skowron.

It's the beginning of Awards SZN in Major League Baseball and that dude JD Martinez just made Silver Slugger history. Jumbo Dong is the first player ever to win 2 Silver Slugger Awards in the SAME DAMN SEASON. This guy.....is good at hit. We start talking an amazing Fred Lynn commercial that resurfaced, announce the winner of our BODYARMOR contest that got a Mookie Betts autographed ball, give JD Martinez his own appreciation segment, talk how unfortunate it is that the Yankees have won absolutely no awards after a 100-win season, give a big shoutout to Section 10 commenter Brock Holt, a behind-the-scenes story on Joe Kelly, preview a potential Section 10 watch party for the World Series DVD in a few weeks, your reactions to how you survive during the baseball offseason, and close with Red Sox Lottery and Down in the DM.

Part two of a two-part interview. To many Hamish Brewer is known as the tattooed skateboarding principal. However, he's also earned a reputation as a fixer. His intense but loving leadership style was a massive success while at Occoquan Elementary in Northen Virginia and this past year he took on a new challenge with Fred Lynn Middle school. Can he do it again? In part two of a two-part interview, Brewer tells us how he did not sugarcoat the challenge ahead for his students and teachers at Fred Lynn. "People were having a lot to say about our school, my students. They were making assumptions, they were making generalizations, and a lot of people had something to say about my school that didn't know my school." Brewer says before he came on board they had a lot of students going to other schools that were supposed to go to Fred Lynn. But he says in just one year that's changed, they've turned around a considerable transfer rate. All In One of the first steps Brewer took at Fred Lynn was to move his office to a central location in the school. "I'm trying to say to them that their business is my business. My business is their business.  That I'm available, that I'm there for them. That I'm visible, that I'm in the middle of everything, that I'm up in the middle of their stuff," says Brewer. "That they can't turn around without me being there to support them, hold them accountable and be right there in the thick of the action. And that's a message not just for students but for adults also. I sent a message to the adults that I've got your back that I'm all in. That I'm going nowhere." The Skateboard Giveaway Furthermore, Brewer put a skateboard rack right outside his new office. He loves to skate himself, and he hands out skateboards to students that have worked hard or met goals. "I also give it to kids that need a pick-me-up. They need some love, they need to be showered with some love, taken care of, given a voice," says Brewer.

Red Sox legend joins the show. It is another interview where a baseball guy remembers every detail about a random at bat that we ask him about.

Among many firsts in Fred Lynn's career that lasted from 1974-1990, he's the first player ever to hit a grand slam in an All-Star Game. In this episode, he remembers when he realized what he did.This episode originally aired July 1, 1987. Smarter Podcasts.com, Delivering Sound Advice.

Fred Lynn made his major league debut  on September 5, 1974, and proceeded to smash major-league pitching to the tune of a .419 batting average and a .698 slugging percentage over his first 15 games. He followed that up with one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time, leading the Red Sox to the World Series and earning the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Gold Glove awards for the 1975 season. He was the first player to achieve this trifecta, an accomplishment matched only by Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners in 2001.He was a third round pick of the New York Yankees in the 1970 baseball draft. He declined to sign, and entered the University of Southern California on a football scholarship and  also played baseball. He was a teammate of future Pittsburgh Steelers star (and Pro Football Hall of Famer) Lynn Swann. 3 years later he would be selected by the Boston Red Sox the franchise that 29 years later would induct them into their Hall of fame, he joins WLIE 540am SPORTSTALKNY Mark Rosenman to talk about it all.

The only episode (so far) named after an MLB player.

Wayland and Greg share observations about the first week of baseball, including Madison Bumgarner’s insane first game and Ken Giles’s insane beard.

Fred Lynn, nine-time All-Star, has a memory bank full of incredible stories from the All-Star Game. Red Sox reporter Ian Browne had the chance to catch up with Lynn and hear what it was like to play with Henry Aaron, face Tom Seaver and what it was like to hit the first grand slam in ASG history.

He was the first ballplayer to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season. He famously played stellar defense by crashing into the outfield wall at Boston’s Fenway Park. Former Red Sox standout Fred Lynn details roaming center field at ballparks across the Major Leagues. Hear about his influence in getting outfield padding installed at Fenway.

The excitement of the first five games of the 1975 World Series was nothing compared to what took place over the final two. On October 21, Fenway Park played host to arguably the greatest game in World Series history – a four hour, 12-inning classic that ended with Carlton Fisk’s unforgettable home run to keep the Red Sox alive. Game 6 is forever an all-timer, but the deciding Game 7 was also tremendous theatre – ultimately decided in the ninth. Cincinnati came out a winner, and so did baseball. Once again, taking us through the dramatic conclusion are four key figures from the series: -Fred Lynn, Red Sox center fielder as well as the ’75 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP -Tony Perez, Reds Hall of Fame first baseman who drove in 109 runs that season -Bernie Carbo, Boston outfielder and a former member of Cincinnati -Bill Lee, Red Sox left-handed starting pitcher and winner of 17 games Photo courtesy of AP Images Audio clips courtesy of NBC Sports, “Baseball: Inning 8” by Ken Burns, and “1975 World Series Film” by MLB Productions

It wasn’t just one of the best-played World Series of all-time; it probably was the most impactful. Millions around the country were witness to a true Fall classic 40 years ago – a showdown between two talent-laden clubs that was taken to its limit. Providing first-hand accounts from this series are: -Fred Lynn, Red Sox center fielder as well as the ’75 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP -Tony Perez, Reds Hall of Fame first baseman who drove in 109 runs that season -Bernie Carbo, Boston outfielder and a former member of Cincinnati -Bill Lee, Red Sox left-handed starting pitcher and winner of 17 games In Part 1 of a two-part retrospective, we look back at the build-up to this match-up, the pitching prowess of Luis Tiant in Games 1 and 4, and the controversy that ensued in Game 3.

As the first player in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the same season, Lynn helped lead the Boston Red Sox to the 1975 American League pennant and into a classic World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. He made the All-Star Game nine times and had a penchant for daring outfield play over the course of his 16 big league seasons. In our interview, Lynn discusses his most memorable All-Star outing as well as his noted fielding style – along with his memories of the seven-game Fall Classic that took place nearly 40 years ago.

For the latest edition of the AA Podcast we're pleased to be joined by the play by play voice of the Boston Celtics, Sean Grande. In addition to being the Celtics radio voice for more than a decade, Sean has experience working in a number of different capacities across the sports world including college football, the Frozen Four, and the Boston Red Sox. He also happens to be one of the biggest wrestling fans in sports along with friends Michelle Beadle and Bill Simmons. So of course you know we're going to dive into this Sunday's Royal Rumble and even the time Sean had dinner with The Iron Sheik and Fred Lynn. Other topics include... - The Celtics entering full-on rebuild mode and the strategy of gathering assets. - The astounding number of players that have passed in and out of Boston in the past month. - The challenges of calling an NBA team that's in a rebuild versus when the franchise has been to the mountain peak and winning a championship. - Which young players might be part of Boston's plan to get back to the top of the Eastern Conference. - The Hawks as maybe being the story of the year in the Association. - What's the latest with Grande's good friend Bill Simmons and his uncertain future. - The differences in working in the studio and the broadcast booth. - Sean's picks for most underrated in sports media. - His friendship with Jim Ross and having JR call NBA games with him. - How he got into wrestling as a Bob Backlund guy and his hilarious silent protest at Summerslam '88 against Hulk Hogan. - Why Daniel Bryan should be the guy to win this year's Rumble and not Roman Reigns. Grande also brags about being the only guy to achieve the triple crown of appearing on the AA Podcast, The BS Report, and The Ross Report. I don't know why we're mentioned in the same breath as those other two, but I'll take it.
