What was moving along as an NL beatdown of the AL in the All Star Game turned into an all time classic... and the Royals players were right in the middle of all of it. Both good and bad.

It was a really cool night in Atlanta featuring an incredible tribute to Hank Aaron.
Jerry Nadeau goes from racing in Russia on ice while fighting off a SEVERE case of food poisoning to spotting for Morgan Shepherd and trying to make a go of it with Melling Racing to victory lane with Hendrick Motorsports. We then tackle the November 23, 2000 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Jerry Nadeau dominates at Atlanta, but it's a late-race caution that gets him back into position to regain the top spot and score the first Winston Cup victory of his career. It's Darrell Waltrip's last race and former foes Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt give him some going-away gifts. UPS signs a big-bucks and ugly car deal with Dale Jarrett and Robert Yates Racing, while Kevin Lepage and Jack Roush miss out on a deal with THE all-time home run king … Hank Aaron. Finally, there's a masterpiece of a column by a certain Winston Cup Scene writer about one of the most memorable moments of his career.

MLB All Star Game "tie", Hank Aaron ceremony, Ben Hutchins talks Cyclones
Chris bookends the episode by mentioning two major career changes for dear colleagues, and the opportunity to call Puck Cancer, a charity hockey game raising money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Also on the docket this episode: MLB All-Star Week, highlighted by a swing-off that may have taken an MVP award away from a more deserving candidate, as well as a stunning tribute to Hank Aaron and a dumpworthy Home Run Derby (in the best way possible).
KMOX alum Bob Costas joined Chris and Amy following last night's MLB All-Star Game. He called the game 'dramatic and competitive' and said the tribute to Hank Aaron 'was a beautiful thing.' He would like to delay the 'ghost runner' from extra inning games in the regular season to later in the game. He discusses his issues with the prevalence of gambling in sports. 'It changes the relationship of many fans from an emotional relationship to a transactional relationship,' to sports says Costas. © David Banks-Imagn Images
Back on this day in 1968 Hank Aaron hit his 500th homerun. After his career milestone he was presented with an award by the Brave's president.
July 14, 1916 - Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns went the distance in a 17-inning 0-0 tie with the Boston Red Sox. Carl Mays went the first fifteen innings for the Red Sox and Dutch Leonard finished.1956 - Mel Parnell of the Boston Red Sox pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox for a 4-0 victory at Fenway Park. This would be the first no hitter for the Sox since 1923 when Howard Ehmke would blank the Philadelphia A's.1967 - Eddie Mathews of the Astros hit his 500th home run off San Francisco's Juan Marichal at Candlestick Park. Houston beat the Giants 8-6. Matthews would become only the 7th member of the 500 Club.Hammerin' Hank Aaron collected his 500th home run off Mike McCormick on July 14th 1968 as the Atlanta Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2. As Curt Simmons would say "Trying to throw a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak a sunrise past a rooster".On July 14th 1970 - Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds scored on Jim Hickman's 12th-inning single after bowling over Cleveland's Ray Fosse at home plate to give the National League a 5-4 victory over the American League at Riverfront Stadium. The collision is often blamed for Fosse's shortened career, but the following year Fosse was again an All Star Catcher and also won a Gold Glove.Mentioned in this episode:Classic Baseball BroadcastsClassic Baseball Broadcasts

What if you can't make it to the National — but still feel its pull? In this special bonus episode of Road to the National, we're joined by Dave Spinrad, better known on Instagram as @ratedrabbi. Dave has attended several Nationals, but this year, life, family, and a new calling in California are keeping him home. Still, he remains deeply connected to the rhythm of the hobby. We discuss how the National serves as a spiritual high point in the hobby calendar, how to navigate FOMO both in-person and from afar, and why celebrating others' success is the antidote to missing out. Rabbi Dave shares stories of meaningful National pickups — including his Hank Aaron rookie, a cherished ticket stub signed by Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, and a custom card from the Card Ladder crew. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that cards are more than cardboard — they're a portal to relationships. Whether you're attending NSCC 2025 or watching from home, there's something here for every collector.

Ellen Adair and Brennan Brown talk about the brand-new instant-classic baseball film EEPHUS. Ellen introduces Brennan (0:40), and then the film (3:50) overviewing its festival appearances, the director Carson Lund, and some of the cast. They summarize the film (10:40) and review the 20-80 scouting scale (13:25) and talk about the scouting director to whom Brennan will be reporting Eephus's grades (14:30). They begin with Amount of Baseball (18:50), discussing this film's tool-defining wealth of baseball in numerous ways. Baseball Accuracy (26:37) delves into the baseball ability as depicted, and some of the questionable ball/strike calls that end the game. Ellen brings up an apparent What Inning Is It discrepancy that is not what it seems, and Graham as the MIA third base coach. They discuss Franny's paraphrasing of the baseball quotes in the film from Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Branch Rickey, Rickey Henderson and Yogi Berra. Ellen, scarred from REVERSE THE CURSE, has some trauma around the amount of Yankee content in a Massachusetts-based movie, which gets the scouts into a heated conversation. They talk about the definition and history of the eephus pitch, discussing Rip Sewell, Maurice van Robays, Ted Williams, Fernando Abad, Luis Tiant, Yu Darvish, Steve Hamilton, Phil Niekro, Dave LaRoche, Carlos Zambrano, Vicente Padilla, Satchel Paige, Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill, Zack Greinke, Brock Holt, and, of course, Bill Lee. A small sidebar on position players pitching, and a longer dive into some delightful Easter eggs with Bill Lee's appearance in the film, and its magical realism. In Storytelling (1:03:45), our scouts discuss the tradition of slow cinema and how that applies to EEPHUS. They marvel at the way information is skillfully planted for the audience to put together, and appreciate the even-handedness of the depictions of the teams, if with some disagreements about the way the audience's empathy is guided. The fact that no one else besides the men involved care much about the game feels important, as does the fall setting, and this season as a thematic character. They discuss the film's relationship of comedy to tragedy. Brennan brings up GOODBYE DRAGON INN, and thinking about transcendental filmmaking leads to a conversation about being present, acting, baseball, time, mortality, and the spiritual exercise of play. The metaphor of the fireworks is explored. The Score Tool (1:51:26) discusses Carson Lund's percussive score and the use of radio as background scoring. In Acting (1:56:56) they discuss the performances of Russell J. Gannon, Cliff Blake, Keith William Richards, David Torres Jr., Ray Hryb, Peter Minkarah, David Pridemore, Theodore Bouloukos, Ethan Ward, Patrick Garrigan, Conner Marx, Brendan Burt, and the commendable evenness of tone across the whole ensemble. Delightfulness of Catcher Character (2:09:28) discusses the performances of John R. Smith, Jr, as John and Chris Goodwin as Garrett. Brennan is vulnerable with a personal trial that mirrors a moment in the film. Delightfulness of Announcer (2:22:23) considers the presences of Frederick Wiseman and Joe Castiglione. Lack of Misogyny (2:26:00) addresses Bobby's light moment of misogyny, balancing the film's intent with lack of full female characters. They also discuss the film's view of male friendship and male loneliness.

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.
