Finding your life's purpose."I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness." Ac 26:16 NKJVIn baseball, the catcher tries to distract the batter. On one occasion when Yogi Berra was behind the plate, Hank Aaron came up to bat. Yogi started in, "Hank, you've got the writing on the bat in the wrong place. The words should be facing you." Yogi kept going, "You better check it." Hank didn't say a word. On the next pitch, Hank hit the ball over the center field fence. He rounded the bases, stepped on home plate, looked at Yogi Berra, and said, "I didn't come here to read, I came to win." It's vital to know why you are here and not to let anyone talk you out of your calling or purpose. In the world today, people say they are trying to find themselves. Such a search is pointless. As one pastor states: "If you don't know who you are, how do you know what to look for? And how would you know when you have found it, since you don't know what you are looking for? Toasters don't find themselves...A toaster...just [has] to do what the manufacturer had in mind." Paul had a supernatural encounter on the Damascus road when Christ said to him, "I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you" (v. 16 NKJV). To discover your life's purpose, you must start with God as your reference point. He made you; He redeemed you; He has a plan for your life-and He will reveal it to you.Finding your life's purpose It's vital to know why you are here.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

We welcome to our microphones award-winning author, cultural critic and Washington University in St. Louis professor Gerald Early, whose new book "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America" is a sweeping chronicle of Black Americans' extraordinary influence on the game of baseball — from the sport's formative days in the wake of the Civil War, through the heyday of the Negro Leagues, to the modern era. A leading voice in the conversation about race, sports, and American identity, Early also served as an advisor to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's landmark new exhibit, Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball. Together, the book and exhibit offer a timely and powerful retelling of baseball's past — one that acknowledges long-overlooked figures like Moses Fleetwood Walker, Rube Foster, and Cool Papa Bell, and reexamines well-known legends like Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds through a deeper historical lens. We discuss how Play Harder arrives at a moment of renewed focus on the Negro Leagues, as Major League Baseball officially recognizes them as major leagues and integrates their stats into the game's official record.  Early explains why this recognition matters, how the Negro Leagues shaped Black identity and community, and what the story of Black baseball says about America itself. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America": https://amzn.to/4dzBmRj   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old Fort Baseball Co.

Keith and Mike mark their 200th episode today. They begin by reflecting on the accuracy of milestone counting and segue into a discussion about Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and the fallibility of supposedly sacred sports statistics. Keith expresses suspicion that his own episode count spreadsheet may contain hidden corruption, though Mike assures him the podcast network's data file would make such an error unlikely. The moment is appropriately celebrated with a shared sense of modest self-congratulation and implied service to humanity. The conversation moves into a deeper analysis of male sexual psychology, sparked by a text from a woman who suggests that sex with a man often ends the pursuit. Keith and Mike consider the implications of novelty, companionship, and emotional labor in relationships, with Mike drawing an analogy to deer hunting and Keith delicately suggesting that some women might simply not be compelling. The two debate whether orgasm consistency and emotional intelligence can prolong male interest beyond the novelty window. Mike proposes a theory of dual peaks of male arousal: initial sex and the first time the woman has a believable orgasm, though Keith is skeptical most men track such things. Later, the hosts discuss the cultural expectations placed on men in relationships, particularly the tension between emotional availability and sexual access. Keith outlines a behavioral pattern where men tolerate emotional excess in exchange for continued sexual opportunity, and questions whether women might strategically suppress their natural behaviors to avoid being broken up with. Mike suggests that all women have some amount of emotional nonsense, and if they don't show it, it's because they've hidden it. Keith, for his part, seems to welcome the deception so long as it's convincingly executed. The episode concludes with a discussion of whether someone should sleep with a terminally ill, married former acquaintance. The hosts dissect the ethical, emotional, and practical implications of this decision, including the possibility that the illness is a ruse, the risks of posthumous heartbreak, and the general undesirability of sex with someone undergoing chemotherapy. They offer their standard dry pragmatism and qualify moral concerns with sufficient caveats to suit most worldviews. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

The 2x WS Champions and HOF shares his coaching philosophy, pays tribute to his players and assistants, and talks about the special relationship he shares with Hank Aaron

On this day (Feb. 5) in 1934, Hank Aaron, one of baseball's greatest players, was born in Mobile, Alabama. Aaron began his career in the Negro Leagues before joining Major League Baseball in 1954. Over 23 seasons with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, and later the Milwaukee Brewers, he shattered records. Aaron set all-time records for total bases, extra-base hits, and RBIs, cementing his legacy as one of the game's most dominant hitters. His impact extended beyond baseball, as he endured racism with quiet strength while reshaping the sport. In 1982, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, receiving one of the highest vote totals in history. Aaron's legacy endures as a symbol of excellence and perseverance.

The Past Our Prime podcast is heading into season 2 but before we look back to the future lets look ahead to the past. There were plenty of great stories in sports from 1974 starting with the Miami Dolphins repeating as Super Bowl champions behind SB MVP Larry Csonka who joined us for our 3rd episode. A week later, the UCLA Bruins 88-game winning streak ended at the hands of Notre Dame and former Bruins team captain and later their head coach Larry Farmer joined us to talk about that fateful day before joining us a 2nd time when his friend and teammate Bill Walton died suddenly this past May. And from there, we just took off... in April of 1974, Hank Aaron set the all-time record for Home Runs by hitting one out in Atlanta. That ball was caught by his teammate, Tom House who joined us to talk about Henry, and a great story about a no-hitter by Nolan Ryan when he was the pitching coach for the Rangers. Jenny Fulle became the first girl to play Little League, Johnny Rutherford won the Indy 500, Hall of Fame goaltender Bernie Parent led the Flyers to a Cup and Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan joined us for one of three times to talk about the Celtics winning it all in '74. Mike Eruzione and the Miracle on Ice. Ali beats Frazier and Foreman. Tommy John has surgery. The Oakland A's make it 3 straight. Jimmy Connors is #1 in the world and engaged to Chrissy Evert. Jennifer Chandler and John Kinsella both win gold medals. Evel Knievel is jumping over any and everything. JK MccKay and Anthony Davis are leading USC to a national title and Rocky Bleier returns from Vietnam to win the first of 4 Super Bowls with the Steelers. It was an amazing year in sports 50 years ago and we cover it from start to finish with the help of Curry Kirkpatrick and Hall of Famers Joe Delamielleure, Rick Barry and Nancy Lieberman who caps off the year talking about her friend and mentor Muhammad Ali, the 1974 Sportsman of the Year. So, before we get on to 1975, take a look back at what took place 50 years ago in '74. It was a year to remember, and that;s just what we did on the Past Our Prime podcast.

Episode 47: Recorded December 22, 2024 "With the loss of any sport or pastime, it's the people you miss in the end…" Sir Mark Prescott on the people he met over four decades of coursing Show Notes Every sport has its share of characters — the people that influenced and shaped the sport, for better or worse. Babe Ruth. Lester Piggot. Hank Aaron. Sterling Moss. Michael Jordan. Caitlin Clark. Eric Liddell. David Beckham. Mike Krzyzewski. Bobby Knight. Billie Jean King. Depending on your perspective, these names can elicit a variety of emotions and memories of your favorite sport. The world of Greyhound coursing has its own cavalcade of characters who left their own mark or legacy on the sport. Historical figures like Colonel North and Edward Dent influenced the glory days of the sport. Lord Sefton, while influential, left artifacts and records of the Waterloo Cup to be burned and abandoned after his passing. Then there are the memorable judges, owners and trainers that left their mark on the sport of coursing. Jack Chadwick judged meetings from atop a horse with a permanently outstretched leg. Owner Lilah Shennen delivered both criticism and support of the sport and its organizers over the years. Harry Skinner made contributions to the sport in the design of the fields and courses to be run. In this episode, host John Parker sits down with his own favorite coursing characters — Charlie Blanning and Sir Mark Prescott — to talk about the larger community of coursing's beloved and not so beloved.

We are closing out our final week of the year with the NBA Cup Final, as the Bucks and Thunder match up in the battle of who-gets-paid. Everyone makes their picks and we take turns bouncing around the NBA trade radar. It runs the gamut from the annual Jimmy Butler trade rumors, to the Lakers adding pieces they might not need, and everyone scratches their heads at the state of the Washington Wizards. Plus it’s the first round of the College Football Playoffs this weekend, and everyone makes their picks on all the big games. Arguments arise about the legitimacy of a Mountain West Champion in Boise State, how no one has any faith in Notre Dame, and all the questions about James Franklin’s big game record. We wonder if Ohio State will actually show up in a big spot, and Rob picks against his buddy Dabo Swinney as they get ready to face Texas. Freddie Freeman’s baseball also set a record at auction this week, which leads us to ask what sports memorabilia would you want if you had a blank check – and responses ranges from Kobe game-worn gear, to Rob wanting Hank Aaron’s jersey from the day he broke the home run record. And after De’Vandre Campbell quit on the Niners, Rob admits that he’s done it in NBA games when he didn’t want to play “scrub minutes”. Plus, with the wave of NFL home invasions, Rob is reminded of a time in his day when the NBA started to warn players about a breakout of car jackings in the 90’s. We also give a Big Shot of the Week to Louisville head basketball coach Pat Kelsey, who had one of the best answers to a press question we’ve heard in a while. And we close out our final “big” show before Christmas with a hilarious Christmas-themed round of Rapid Fire!

Barnstorming across a segregated United States from 1908-1940, pitcher John Donaldson won over 400 games and collected over 5,000 strikeouts, but his baseball career became lost in history until historian Pete Gorton came to the rescue. Chuck Garfien speaks with Gorton who has spent the last 20 years uncovering Donaldson's extraordinary career. Donaldson later became the first official black scout in the majors with the White Sox, scouting Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks. He's up for induction into the baseball Hall of Fame in December.

It was one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing. The undefeated George Foreman putting his heavyweight championship on the line against Muhammad Ali from Zaire, Africa. The Rumble in the Jungle where Ali shocked he world to regain his belt for the first time since 1967 when he was forced to give it up. But there was a dynamic duo making noise in November of '74. Hank Aaron was in Japan having a hitting contest with Japanese superstar Sadarahu Oh. The two Home Run kings taking different kind of swings against each other. Joining us to talk about both stories is a good friend and baseball analyst for 670 the Score in Chicago as well as the Marquee Network, Bruce Levine, who has been covering sports since Reagan's first term in office. Bruce has seen and been a part of it all for over 40 years. He remembers watching the Rumble on closed circuit TV at the very loud St. Louis Arena. He'll tell us how he met Ali at his house as a kid on the South Side of Chicago and how Ali influenced a generation of kids in the late 60's. As for Sadarahu Oh, Bruce shares with us how The Hammer told him that Oh could definitely have thrived in the majors and how 50 years later Japanese players are finally getting the respect Oh may have never received during his playing days. Ali & Foreman... Hank and Oh... lots to talk about in November of 1974 and we get to it all on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(Antevíspera del Natalicio de Juan Marichal) En su debut en las Grandes Ligas en 1960, ganó 2‑0 concediendo un solo hit o imparable al equipo contrario. En 1963 lanzó un juego sin hits ni carreras (la primera vez que un beisbolista hispano lograra esa hazaña en las Ligas Mayores), y dos semanas después lanzó dieciséis entradas en un juego para dar la victoria a su equipo 1‑0. A lo largo de dieciséis temporadas como lanzador en las Grandes Ligas, ganó 243 partidos y perdió sólo 142, ponchando a 2.303 bateadores y permitiendo un promedio de sólo 2.89 carreras ganadas por partido. En las trece temporadas en que intervino en más de once partidos, ganó al menos dieciocho juegos en ocho de ellas, ganó más de veinte juegos en seis de ellas, y ganó al menos veinticinco juegos en tres de ellas. Terminó su carrera con 244 juegos completos como abridor, uno más que el número de juegos que ganó.   De ahí que el inmortal Roberto Clemente dijera de él: «No importa lo que él lanza; cuando lo tiene, te derrota»; y que, refiriéndose a su singular estilo y su efectividad, el temible bateador Hank Aaron afirmara: «Jamás he visto a nadie tan bueno como él.» No es de extrañarse, entonces, que Juan Antonio Marichal Sánchez, «El Dandy Dominicano», figurara como lanzador en ocho ocasiones en el Partido de las Estrellas, siendo elegido como el «Jugador más valioso» del partido de 1965; ni que pasara a ocupar su merecido lugar en el Salón de la Fama en 1983. Los Gigantes de San Francisco, el equipo por el que jugó durante catorce temporadas, celebraron en su estadio ese 10 de julio el Día del Salón de la Fama de Juan Marichal.1 A fin de perpetuar su memoria, el 21 de mayo de 2005 volvieron a rendirle homenaje, esta vez fuera del estadio, donde develaron una estatua de 2,74 metros de alto de bronce del «Dandy Dominicano». «Simplemente fue el mejor lanzador de la década de 1960», declaró Peter Magowan, el propietario del equipo. Esa tarde los Gigantes, reconociendo su legado hispano, hicieron algo por primera vez en sus 123 años de existencia: vistieron uniformes con el nombre «Gigantes» en español. Al homenaje asistió, entre otros dignatarios, el presidente de la República Dominicana, Leonel Fernández; así como asistieron, entre otros compañeros, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Felipe Alou y Orlando Cepeda. Dirigiéndose al público, Juan Marichal dijo emocionado: «Soy yo el que les agradezco por todos los recuerdos. Dejé mi corazón en San Francisco», aludiendo así a la famosa canción en inglés que popularizaron Tony Bennett y Frank Sinatra.2 ¡Qué bueno es que les rindamos tributo a las estrellas que han alumbrado nuestra vida, y mejor aún si lo hacemos cuando pueden disfrutar del momento con nosotros, en lugar de esperar hasta después de su muerte! Reprimamos la tentación de criticar a los que invierten grandes sumas de dinero en tales homenajes, y reconozcamos más bien la verdad de las palabras de Jesucristo respecto a la objeción de Judas Iscariote de que el perfume que María de Betania acababa de derramar sobre Él pudo haberse vendido por muchísimo dinero para dárselo a los pobres. «Ella ha hecho una obra hermosa conmigo —dijo Jesús—. A los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, y podrán ayudarlos cuando quieran; pero a mí no me van a tener siempre.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan Marichal Hall of Fame Day: July 10, 1983, San Francisco Giants (San Francisco: Woodford Associates, 1983). 2 Dagoberto Galán, «La figura de la semana: Juan Marichal» En línea 25 julio 2007; «Juan Marichal: su vida», Montecristi Digital, junio 2005 En línea 25 julio 2007. 3 Mr 14:6,7; Jn 12:1-8

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.
