Podcast appearances and mentions of george herman ruth

As well as being a highly effective run play in American Football, a delay can also mean time lapsing between two people discussing issues on a podcast using a digital platform. This, amongst many other obstacles and barriers, is what our heroes had to contend with in the Grand Final/Offseason Kick off episode. All the Grand Final stories are disclosed, discussed and  dissected  and - The Howarth no try, The Yeo no Medal, The NAS no show, The Luai no stay, The Kid Laroi no smoke......and The Hard Running GA brings the press in behind closed doors for a mid match video session. Then to national teams and Lindsay Smith............. cough cough.........and Mal's Merritt Team. The Wallabies Spring tour, the NFL is upon us... and the summer of cricket approaches.  Still plenty of sport to come and still and plenty of issues for our two delusional clowns to Grapple with. Like It, Share It, Subscribe to it....and as George Herman Ruth said.. 'Never let the fear of striking out keep you from Grappling' 

This week BKP will present the life and baseball career of the face of baseball in the 20th century, Mr George Herman Ruth, better known as the Babe. Besides Jackie Robinson, no baseball player has had more influence on the brand of Major League Baseball, that we consume today, than the Babe. From his rough and tumble childhood, along the docks and water-ports of Baltimore, to learning the game of baseball in a boy's school for the incorrigibles, to thrilling the baseball universe with his skill, first as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, and then as one of the deadliest sluggers of all time with the New York Yankees. HIs is a story of apocryphal myth, and legend, shrouded in a cloud of reality. This is the story of Babe Ruth. #BabeRuth #StMarysIndustrialSchoolForBoys #JackDunn #BaltimoreOrioles #BostonRedSox #NewYorkYankees #BostonBraves #TrisSpeaker #MillerHuggins #HarryFrazee #JacobRupert #LouGehrig #CharlieRoot

“The Babe”, George Herman Ruth, was the first sports superstar. He had the potential to be baseball's greatest left-handed pitcher. Instead, he moved to the outfield and became its greatest hitter. Until Ruth arrived in New York in 1918, the Yankees had never won a pennant. Babe Ruth dies of throat cancer at age 53 in New York on August 16th 1948. He lied in state at Yankee Stadium and St. Patrick's Cathedral more than 100,000 mourners would show their respects.August 16th, 2010 New York Giant Great, Bobby Thompson passes away. On October 3rd 1951, dubbed the "Shot Heard 'Round the World," Thompson hit a game-deciding, three-run home run the final game of a three-game playoff between the Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers. It is considered by many to be one of the most memorable and dramatic homers in baseball history. August 16th 1940- Jimmie Foxx smashes two homers to help the Red Sox beat the Senators. The two round trippers move him ahead of Lou Gehrig on the all-time list with a total of 495. 2August 16th, 1966 - Willie Mays hits his 534th home run, matching Jimmie Foxx's record for right-handed batters, as Gaylord Perry beats the Cardinals, 3 - 1.August 16th 2002 The Twins down the Red Sox, 5 - 0, in the process ending Pedro Martinez's scoreless inning streak at 35. It is the longest such streak in the majors since 2000. Pedro's 2000 season is considered by many to be the best season ever pitched in the history of the game.

On July 11, 1985, Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros becomes the first pitcher in history to record 4,000 strikeouts. Ryan notches the milestone dismissing New York Mets outfielder Danny Heep with 3 pitches in the sixth inning.On July 11, 1968, the Baltimore Orioles name future Hall of Famer Earl Weaver their manager. Weaver, a lifetime minor league player had been serving as the team's first base coach, and replaced the fired Hank Bauer. Under Weaver's managerial philosophy of ""Double-plays and the Three Run Homer" the 1970 Orioles would be World Champions. In addition to the 1970 World Series, Weaver's Orioles would win 100 plus games 5 times, four pennants, and six division titles.On July 11, 1914, "The Babe", George Herman Ruth makes his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox. Striking out in his first at-bat, Ruth would have to settle for a no-decision as the starting pitcher, after getting pulled for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. The Red Sox would win the game 4-3.On July 11, 1950, network television broadcasts an All-Star Game for the first time in history. In the first-ever extra-inning All-Star Game, the NL defeats the AL, 4-3. St. Louis Cardinals star Red Schoendienst wins the game with a home run in the 14th inning against Ted Gray.On July 11, 1961, San Francisco Giants pitcher Stu Miller is literally blown off the mound during the All-Star Game at Candlestick Park. In the ninth inning, high winds cause the 165-pound Miller to lose his balance. Umpires call a balk, allowing the tying run to score. The National League eventually wins, 5-4, in 10 innings.On July 11, 1967, Tony Perez of the Cincinnati Reds hits a 15th inning home run against Jim "Catfish" Hunter of the Kansas City A's. Perez' dramatic blast gives the National League a 2-1 victory ending the longest game in All Star history. The 2008 15 inning All Star game would tie that recordHistorical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn SaysTrivia is provided by -Horseshide TriviaThis Day In Baseball is Sponsored by - www.vintagebaseballreflections.com - Join the membership today and listen to 50 years of baseball history told to you by the folks who were there!

Bible Reading: Romans 4:6-8; 5:8-9"What's that, Grandpa?" Rafael pointed to some small cards and pieces of shiny red paper on the kitchen table.Grandpa smiled. "Grandma found these when she was cleaning the attic the other day. When I was a boy, we used to get these as prizes in cereal boxes--they're something like baseball cards." "Wow! They're really old!" Rafael was impressed. "What are the shiny red papers for?" "That's what makes these cards interesting," Grandpa replied. "Look at this one. It's a picture of Babe Ruth." Grandpa showed Rafael the picture of the famous baseball player, then turned the card over. "Now, see this question? It says, 'What was Babe Ruth's real name?' To find the answer, we put this shiny red paper--it's called cellophane--right over the question. Now what do you see?" "George Herman Ruth," Rafael read. "The question disappeared, and the answer showed up! Cool!" "Right," said Grandpa. "This cellophane taught me a lesson.""You mean because you learned Babe Ruth's real name?" Rafael asked.Grandpa laughed. "Something more important," he said. "When I was young, I knew I was a sinner. I was a bit of a troublemaker, so I was reminded of it often! I'd heard that we all needed to have our sin covered by the blood of Jesus, but I never understood it until my Sunday school teacher brought this very same Babe Ruth card to class one day. 'Someone read the question on the back,' he said as he turned it over. But he had put the red paper over the question, so we told him we could only see the answer. He nodded. 'When the question is covered by the red paper, you can't see it--you just see the answer. And when you trust Jesus as your Savior, your sin is covered by His blood. Then God doesn't see your sin anymore. Instead, He sees you as righteous, or good, and He sees Jesus living in you.' I've never forgotten that." Rafael nodded thoughtfully. "I'm going to remember it too." -Phyllis M. RobinsonHow About You?What does God see when He looks at you? Does He see your sins, or are they covered by the blood of Jesus so that God now sees you as righteous? If you trust Jesus as your Savior, your transgressions, or sins, are forgiven. They are covered, and God doesn't see them anymore when He looks at you. If you don't yet know Jesus as your Savior, trust in Him today. Then you will have peace knowing your sins are covered in red.

Even though George Herman Ruth is arguably the greatest baseball player of all time, The Babe is not even a good movie, never mind a great one. The problems start with John Goodman, who's a terrific actor, but he's miscast in the titular role of the man-child who started as a pitcher with the Red Sox and then became an outfielder with the Yankees. It also doesn't help that this gregarious, larger-than-life baseball legend is depicted as moody, needy and a sad sack for most of this lifeless film. The biggest crime of all though is how much Arthur Hiller and his team stretched the truth (or messed up the chronology of momentous events) about Ruth's incredible real-life story. We got very pedantic about those facts and figures. So shrug off the non-stop insults about your weight because it's clear that you're a natural who just likes to hit home runs as we shuffle our way through the glum disappointment of a biopic they call The Babe.   We don't mind if you keeds tweet us.

How do you keep from striking out? While the answer may seem obvious, let’s talk about George Herman Ruth first. He was born in 1895. Some say he learned to play ball at St. Mary’s Reformatory/Orphanage and other stories say he ended up at St. Mary’s because of all the windows he broke playing stickball in the streets. When George was 16 years old he was signed on to play with the Baltimore Orioles (Minor League at that time.) His teammates nicknamed George the “Dunn’s new babe” and the nickname stuck. Babe Ruth was a “give it all you got-slugger” at bat. He said, “Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.” And he did. But that "all-in" attitude earned him the unsolicited title “King of Strikeouts” five times. He struck out 1,330 times in his career! Strikeouts are serious failures for a ballplayer. But his fans and history forgave him for the strikeouts because those all-in powerful slugs also made him the coveted “Home run King” with a record of 714 career home runs. A title he kept until Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run in 1974. He had a total of 2,873 hits and batted in 2,213 runs, which at this time ranks him #4 in RBI (runs batted in.) The Babe said, “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” It seems that in the years that have passed since Babe Ruth played ball, ballplayers listened to Babe Ruth and watched how he played ball. That information changed ballplayers. Babe Ruth isn’t the “King of Strikeouts” any longer! He’s not even ranked in the top 100 list of players with the most strikeouts. He is ranked #123 on the list. The statistics show that players are playing bolder. Instead of playing to keep from striking out…they are playing to hit the ball. That has produced more strikeouts, but it has developed some real winners too! Babe Ruth’s home run records have been surpassed by two great ballplayers. I’m not a ballplayer, so I’ve never been bothered by the fear of striking out…but the fear of failure has robbed me more times than I want to think about.   Without fail I have always given my fear much safer names like wise, safe, careful or too busy. I've even wrapped my fear of failure in colorful and comforting excuses like… I’m waiting for the right time… If I can’t do it right, then I won’t do it at all…and I didn’t. I'm not good at that…so I didn’t develop new skills My fear of failure has hindered me from giving life my best! What about you? Has it hindered, stopped or robbed you? Fear of failure limits success in so many areas. Salesmen that don’t ask for the sale. Christians that don’t witness. Believers that don’t pray for the sick. Warriors that don't show up on the battlefield. Faith, talents, and dreams that are never activated and never achieved. Dreams that never come true because the fear of failure keeps us from: Asking for the date Applying for the job. Writing the book. Joining the team. Getting that degree. … … The blank lines are for you What is the fear of failure keeping you from doing? Let me rephrase that question… “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” Babe Ruth was a baseball champion! His batting average was .342. His batting average is great; but those numbers tells us that the Babe hit the ball about 3 1/2 times out of every 10 times he stepped up to the plate.   So how do you keep from striking out…the answer is Never play ball.   The truth is “if you play ball; you’re gonna strike out.” But never playing at all is far worse than striking out sometimes.   And in life you are going to make mistakes…period! You can hide from failure and do nothing… but you'll NEVER succeed. You'll never fulfill your destiny.   Like the children of Israel as they listened to the spies report… the fear of failure was too great! They refused to obey God. Like Saul facing Goliath, the fear of failure was too great...he failed to show up. And like Joshua with the call to take the children of Israel into the promised land, the risk of failure was too great …so great that He needed God's encouragement. In order to succeed, there has to be an attitude adjustment.   Let me adjust Babe Ruth’s advice for you,   “Never let the fear of failure get in your way.” Here are some quotes that are a new lens to view failure through.   Don't Run From Failure. Learn from failure. When you try and fail, you learn. When you learn, you grow. When you grow, you expand your potential for success. John Maxwell “It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Babe Ruth “You Learn More From Failure Than From Success. Don’t Let It Stop You. Failure Builds Character.”- Unknown   “Whether You Think You Can Or Think You Can’t, You’re Right.”- Henry Ford   Failure is a lesson learned. Success is a lesson applied. Anonymous   Failure is success in progress. Albert Einstein       Success is measured by how high you bounce when you hit bottom. George S. Patton  "Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be. John Wooden"   I'd love to share my free ebook that will help you be stronger. Check it out at the link below.

December 26, 1919, a decision was made that definitively shaped two organizations for the next 85 years. Harry Frazee sold one of his best players. His name was George Herman Ruth---you might know him as "The Babe." For $125,000, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, sold the rights of George Herman Ruth (the Babe) to the dreaded New York Yankees. For the next 85 years, the Boston Red Sox lived under "The Curse of the Bambino." Babe Ruth, at the time, was a pitcher, but he started dabbling in hitting and the year before he was traded in 1919, he hit 29 home runs, which wasn't all that bad for a pitcher, even back then. Once he was traded to the Yankees, he started to play every day. The first year he played for the Yankees, he hit 54 home runs and drove in 135 RBIs. He followed that up, in his 1921 campaign, with 59 home runs and 106 RBIs. He went on to be one of the most prolific baseball players of all time. He took the Yankees to the World Series seven times and won it four times. Hit 714 home runs, hit .342 over the course of his career and was elected to the Hall of Fame with more than a 95% election rate. He was a pretty decent player it turned out! You read back through it and you go well, why in the world....Harry Frazee, why in the world would you sell the rights....he didn't even trade him, he just said I need cash, that's what I need. I need you to give me $125K and you have the rights to the Babe. Why in the world would he do that?? If you go back and read about Harry Frazee, he was not only the president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox, but he also dabbled in Broadway theatrical productions. Those weren't doing so hot at the time and he needed cash. So he traded the Babe for $125,000 in cash in a loan for $300,000 and for 85 years it haunted the Boston Red Sox. He made a decision that was based on the immediate and he failed to see the way the long-term might play out.
