Join us for a deep dive into the heart of baseball, where tradition meets innovation and every fan has a story to tell. Sit back, grab a few beers, and let's get into 'er!
Dave and Pete keep the conversation rolling on a muggy Minnesotan Day from the State Fair. Conversation about the UMN Golden Gophers, Minnesota Vikings, and Twins speckle a walk down the sports path in the state of Minnesota and stories of Dave Lee's time as an iconic voice of Golden Gopher Football and memories of Harmon Killebrew.
Part Deux after Part One interrupted, Huge day in Braves history including the Great Padres Brawl of '84 with a shirtless Ed Whitson instigated by crazy Pascual Perez, plus Bobby Cox makes Greg Maddux end his record, plus a tribute to Skip Caray, plus trade for John Smoltz, plus end of Pete's Tweets including final Olympic medal count won by the good ole USA, also Babe Ruth line, Stan Musial retirement, Mickey Mantle & Whitey Ford HOF inductions, Blue Jays get name, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych's goodbye, Harmon Killebrew, Luis Aparicio, Don Drysdale, Pee Wee Reese, Rodney McCray runs through the outfield fence, fan catches two home run balls from same player in same game, and the SF Giants honor Robin Williams, plus a baseball quote from author John Cheever
Hour 3 with Rick "Doc" Walker: Doc takes calls on a variety of subjects including Harmon Killebrew, old time NFL players, who should be included in various halls of fame, and how do we define a great fan base. And throughout the hour there's lots of Olympic medals being won.
On Part 2, 1982 Brewers yield to Billy Ball, the early 80s Oakland A's, and how Rickey Henderson redefined the meaning of a hero to Adam. We raise the stakes on our trade proposals, pushing bigger ticket items into the middle. Adam and I then move to 1987, remembering Adam's exile to Barstow, California, and the oasis of being able to listen to KNBR's Hank Greenberg calling Giants games way far away at Candlestick. For the Giants, their big trade in 1987 was their acquisition of Kevin Mitchell and Dave Dravecky. Dravecky's dramatic comeback from shoulder cancer, his subsequent reinjury, and his ultimate amputation give us a lot to talk about and two amputees in one show. Finally, Adam steers us toward the King of Late Night, David Letterman. He goes with a special episode where Dave featured Harmon Killebrew and I went with one featuring Joe Niekro.
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the best of the Twins to the table for discussion.
Thursday's Minnesota Twins home opener will sound a little different this year. Longtime broadcaster Dick Bremer stepped down at the end of last season after 40 years as the TV voice of the Twins. Now in a special assistant role in the organization's front office, Bremer threw out the first pitch Thursday. Before that, he got behind an MPR News microphone to talk baseball with Minnesota Now host Cathy Wurzer. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. How strange has it been to not be on the air for spring training and for the home opener?Yeah, it's been strange in all the predictable places, I felt a little bit out of sorts, I guess, or unsure what to do with my time in January when I wasn't on the Twins caravan, which is a uniquely Minnesota Twins thing for the first time in four decades. And then like everybody else in the Upper Midwest, I dealt with a snowstorm at the end of March instead of being in Fort Myers. And now here we are an opening day and that's all part of it right? When you retire you it's an adjustment for everybody, regardless of his or her walk of life.What's your current role with twins?I'm doing some special projects. I've actually been doing some writing for the Twins magazine, recording some things for the Twins radio broadcasts, making public appearances emceeing events and all that. It's an interesting role that I have with the Twins, and one that I'm very grateful for because of whenever the time was going to come, I still wanted to be connected to the team as someone who was really connected and intimately connected with the team for 40 years.Describe the dance for folks done between the play by play person and the color analyst. What's that like?Well, for the longest time, it was just one guy for 25 years. It was Bert Blyleven, it was me and Harmon Killebrew for a few years and Jim Kaat. In recent years they have rotated Justin Morneau, Torii Hunter, LaTroy Hawkins, Glen Perkins, Roy Smalley, so on and so forth. It's a bit of an adjustment, I suppose. But it really hasn't been that much of an adjustment because I've always taken the attitude that whether it was Bert Blyleven, or Paul Molitor, Jim Kaat, or, you know, whoever, that they really were the stars of the show, and I was just kind of a traffic cop and tried to draw out of them their baseball wisdom, and their baseball personality, if you will. It is no reflection at all on my abilities or lack thereof as a broadcaster, but I am the answer to a trivia question, who is the only major league announcer who's been privileged to work with five Hall of Fame players and that's meIt's been one of the great blessings of my 40 years. I won't ask your listeners to name them all. I'll try to do them all. Paul Molitor did games for a year Jack Morris, Jim Kaat, Herman Killebrew and of course Bert Blyleven, and they're all in Cooperstown.Who was the person to help you really move forward in broadcasting?Well, I don't know that any conversations were held or anything like that, but I, as you know, grew up in this area. So I was privileged to listen to Herb Carneal, Al Shaver, Ray Christensen, people like that. And when we lived in Missouri, listening to Jack Buck and Harry Caray do Cardinal games and the one thing they all had in common was they were very wearable if you will. There wasn't anything controversial about them. They did their job, night after night, year after year and as a result, they had long careers in one city, one region. And at least for me, that was always the goal to be able to say that you know what, I did a job. Hopefully I did it well, but I was able to have a long career with one team. And I guess 40 years later, you could say I guess that I succeeded.Tell us about the players you're gonna be watching for this season.Well, the team is very good. And some of their better players are very young and unfortunately, injury prone. Byron Buxton is pretty healthy and we've already been reminded how impactful he can be in a game and on a team when he's healthy. But the Twins have lost Royce Lewis for a while again, and hope to get him back. I think this Twins lineup, even though in the first five games, they struggled to score runs, they're going to be among the best offensive teams in the game. And we'll find out — that's part of the thrill of starting a new season, and we're five games into 162 games but you never really know what your team is going to look like, how they're going to play and page by page. It's like a book you, you find out exactly what you've got as the season plays along. So there's gonna be the Dick Bremer broadcast booth?I was very surprised when I found out about this weeks ago, and I've already kind of taken on the role of a landlord. I've already got a list of rules and regulations that have to be followed now in this booth. I might not reveal them all, I might just limit it to one or two. But I think that's within my right, don't you? If you're gonna name the booth after me I think I have a right to dictate what's going on in there.I'm hoping the family is there to celebrate with you.Yeah, they are. In fact, my son, Eric is a minor league broadcaster in Florida, he flew in yesterday, and my wife and daughter will be there as well. So that's what makes it really special, the fact that whatever happens here today, and you know whether I throw the ceremonial first pitch on three hops to home plate, at least we'll experience all that together. What is the great love of baseball for you? Oh, man. I was introduced to the game a long, long time ago, even before the Twins showed up here in 1961. Town team baseball is where my roots began with the game of baseball. I've been blessed to be around this Twins team in one capacity or another. I just love the game, I love the challenges. You've got individual matchups, pitcher versus batter. It's very much a team game, particularly when the team is out in the field. I just love everything about it and the game has changed, broadcasting has changed you know over the last few years as well, but there's still the beauty of the game that I enjoy and that will continue on regardless of what my role with the Twins is.
Happy Valemtimes Day Ya Friggin Cowards! *Extremely regional American accent voice* Squarsh. In honor of Harmon Killebrew, the mormon slugger who never did fun stuff but loved to mash dingers.

For the 1961 season, the Washington Senators moved out of the capital to play ball in Minnesota as the Twins. Marque names such as Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, and Jim Perry helped the team make its mark in its new home. Four years later, the Twins would win the AL pennant and bring it to Minnesota for the first time. As for Washington, the city would not be left without a baseball team. Immediately replacing the Washington Senators in 1961 were… the Washington Senators. The team with an old name was one of two AL expansion teams, and success did not come easy. The team's first pennant was in 2010, but by then, they had moved to Arlington as the Texas Rangers. That first year saw them finish behind everyone else in the AL, posting a 61-100 record. 1961 was the year of a dominant Yankees team, finishing 47 and a half games ahead of the Senators. But what of their head-to-head? We join the Senators at Yankee Stadium on 2nd July; the two teams' record is 3-3, and we have Bob Delaney hosting, with Phil Rizzuto and Red Barber on the play-by-play. You can find the boxscore here. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA196107020.shtml This game was played on 2 July, 1961. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message
A gentleman in demeanour but a superman when slugging. That was Harmon Killebrew, Idaho's greatest home-run hitter and a legend at the plate. He was a 13-times All-Star, a 6-time AL home-run leader, a 3x AL RBI leader, and the 1969 MVP. When he retired, he was fifth in the all-time Home Run record, and his 573 bombs are still enough to hold twelfth place today. He could easily reach the edge of the yard, notably being the first of only four players to ever bat over the left field roof of Tiger Stadium in Detroit. The batting earned him the nickname of "killer" no doubt helped by his name, yet he was seen as one of the politest players in the game. And he's definitely not the slugger in the MLB logo. We join Killebrew and the Twins as they welcome the Yankees to the Metropolitan Stadium. The twins have a commanding 53-29 record—they are on their way to a 102-win season and the first AL pennant for the Twins in Minnesota. Killebrew is in his beloved role as the cleanup hitter and is facing the Yankees Al Downing. Jerry Coleman and Red Barber share the microphone for the Yankees Radio Network. You can find the boxscore here. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN196507110.shtml This game was played on 11 July, 1965. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message
Opie finds $50 and has to wait a week and see if he can keep it while Aaron and Chris discuss their big purchases when they were kids.
On July 13, 1971, Reggie Jackson of the Oakland A's hits one of the most memorable home runs in All-Star Game history. Jackson smashes a monstrous blast against Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The ball caroms off a light tower atop the roof of Tiger Stadium, some 520 feet away from home plate. The All-Star Game, which features 20 future Hall of Fame players, is won by the American League, 6-4.The game which features six home runs. All the players who homer – Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew as well as Reggie – will become members of the Hall of Fame and 14 others will join them in Cooperstown. The AL wins the game 6-4 and Ii is the only AL All-Star victory between 1962 and 1983 and 14 others will join them in Cooperstown.
The Mets traded Eduardo Escobar over the weekend, and he'll surely be missed — a great vibes guy who lost his job to Brett Baty and just didn't have a place on a team that needs a shakeup. FOGO MODE forever, and let's bid Escobar farewell with his home run chain.* Eduardo Escobar hit his first home run off Jeremy Guthrie, 4/9/13* Jeremy Guthrie gave up his first home run to Omar Infante, 9/14/04* Omar Infante hit his first home run off Kyle Lohse, 9/10/02* Kyle Lohse gave up his first home run to Dean Palmer, 6/22/01* Dean Palmer hit his first home run off Rick Honeycutt, 6/27/91* Rick Honeycutt gave up his first home run to Graig Nettles, 8/31/77* Graig Nettles hit his first home run off Denny McLain, 9/6/68Denny McLain connects us to the Omar Narváez home run chain… which was the last We Can Pod It Out post. But… what an achievement for Nettles, hitting the first home run of his career against the major leagues' last 30-game winner. Thing is, McLain not only won 31 games in 1968, he gave up a major league-leading 31 homers, too. In 41 starts, McLain allowed 86 runs, of which 48 came on dingers. That means an average of less than a run per game against him on non-homers… and 10 of those 38 runs were unearned.McLain gave up three homers to Reggie Jackson in 1968, and two apiece to Frank Howard, Tony Horton, Rich Reese, and Pete Ward — the last of whom hit the only grand slam against McLain that year.In addition to Nettles, players who took McLain deep in ‘68 included Boog Powell, Sal Bando, Bobby Cox, Harmon Killebrew, Rico Petrocelli, Joe Pepitone, and Orioles pitcher Dave McNally. Plus, near the end of the season, McLain gave up Mickey Mantle's 535th career home run — the last of Mantle's 42 at Tiger Stadium, his most at any visiting park. The following day, September 20, Mantle hit his last dinger, No. 536, back at Yankee Stadium (where he hit 266 homers), off Boston's Jim Lonborg. This is a public episode.

With the podcast coming up on Episode 300 and Mike in an existential pit of terribleness this week, we're re-running our joyous and celebratory 200th episode, in which we tell the story of the great Harmon Killebrew, and are joined by actual baseball legends Carlos Baerga, Jerry Reuss, Willie Wilson, Gary Matthews Sr, and Fred Lynn.
In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the First Basemen to the table for discussion.
Jim is joined by Adam Darowski, Head of User Experience at Sports Reference, to break down down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB catcher Gene Tenace. First, Adam and Jim discuss why Tenace may very well have the most "hipster" case for the HOF (5:29). Next, they cover Gene's legendary performance in the 1972 World Series, how he compares to Harmon Killebrew, and what sabermetrics really make Tenace's case for the HOF (7:53). Finally, Adam and Jim have a discussion about how we apply our knowledge of baseball today to how we grade player's of the past (49:35), before they both state whether or not they believe Tenace deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (58:05).
On his way to the Majors, he outshined his teammates every step of the way. With the speed and power of a world class athlete, and a million dollar smile that could eclipse the sun, Kirby Puckett quickly established himself as one of the legends in Minnesota history, taking his place in the pantheon of Twins heroes like Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva and Rod Carew. His clutch skills on the diamond, made him one of the best all around players in the game, until glaucoma robbed him of his career and set the lovable player on a dark path.

On the latest episode of the Rex Chapman Show with Josh Hopkins, the guys are joined by baseball's greatest living hitter, Rod Carew. Rod discusses his life growing up hitting bottle caps with broom sticks, and just how his journey led to an incredible career as one of the world's most beloved baseball players of all time. 15:30 - How Rex found Rod Carew on Twitter and had to ask himself, is one of the greatest hitters of all-time really on here right now? 16:30 - Rod always played sports growing up, but it was his Uncle that told him to forget about soccer after he saw him playing baseball. 19:30 - How the Minnesota Twins found Rod playing semi-pro baseball in New York, and his 9-for-11 performance in a double-header that led him to being signed that day. 22:15 - What about America did Rod dream of growing up in Panama and how different it was when he finally got there at the age of 14. 25:30 - How Rod had the golf game of his life, and nearly passed after suffering a heart attack, ultimately requiring a transplant. 35:30 - How Rod began his professional baseball career with the Twins, being named both an All-Star and Rookie of the Year in his first season. 38:10 - Why Rod was so beloved by baseball fans, and the advice he received from both Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva as he became a professional himself. 41:30 - Rod talks about his iconic batting stance, and how the Twins quickly learned not to fix anything that isn't broken. He and Tony Oliva essentially became their own hitting coaches. 43:00 - Rod's best season as a big leaguer, in 1977, when he nearly hit .400 and was honored with the Roberto Clemente Award. There were so many great hitters and to eventually name the batting title after him was a great honor. 47:00 - When talking about music, Josh had to ask about how Rod Carew got into "Sure Shot" by the Beastie Boys. 49:30 - Rod speaks to the Hall of Fame cases for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens after being left out of the Class of 2022, 10 years of being on the ballot. 55:15 - Rod's favorite player of all-time was and always will be Derek Jeter, because you can always point to him and tell anyone that you play the game of baseball like Jeter did.

Dwight Siebler found success in the minors in 1959 and into the early 1960s, averaging more than 1 strikeout per inning in over 400 innings pitched. That success in the minors earned him his first call up in 1963. Siebler went on to play in 48 games for the Twins, including 8 starts and 2 complete games. One of the high points of Twins' history was the 1965 World Series Team. Some of the all-time great Twins led the team to the series against the LA Dodgers, including Harmon Killebrew, Zoilo Versalles, and Tony Oliva. Though he played in 30 games in AAA and 7 games for the Twins, due to roster rules, Siebler didn't actually get to play in the World Series. Siebler moved between AAA and the majors from 1963-1967 and played against legends like Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Carl Yastrzemski. Anyone getting ready for baseball will love stories about facing the legends of baseball and suiting up with some of the all-time great Twins. Are you a proud supporter of the Moonlight Graham Show?

The Twins came to Minnesota in 1961 and the locals were ecstatic. In the early '60s, the Twins and Angels were the surprise contenders and the Yankees were the powerhouse. In 1965, however, the incredible Twins team cruised to the A.L. pennant with 102 wins, earning a bid to the World Series. And a date with the Dodgers. In this episode, Patrick Reusse recalls the greatest Twins team that never won a World Series. Harmon. Tony. Kaat. Mudcat.

Douglas MacArthur was a man of routine, most military men are. So it shouldn’t surprise us that he built a family life around routine. But unlike far too many fathers who make routine a form of control, MacArthur’s morning routine was about fun—it was about starting the day off right.As the peerless William Manchester details in his book American Caesar, the morning time was one of the best times at the MacArthur household. In fact, it was kind of scheduled crazy fun: When Arthur began to walk, and then to talk, father and son developed a morning ceremony. At about 7:30 A.M. the door of the General’s bedroom would open and the boy would trudge in clutching his favorite toy, a stuffed rabbit with a scraggly mustache which he called “Old Friend.” MacArthur would instantly bound out of bed and snap to attention. Then the General marched around the room in quickstep while his son counted cadence: “Boom! Boom! Boomity boom!” After they had passed the bed several times, the child would cover his eyes with his hands while MacArthur produced the day’s present: a piece of candy, perhaps, or a crayon, or a coloring book. The ritual would end in the bathroom, where MacArthur would shave while Arthur watched and both sang duets.And it didn’t just happen when Arthur was young. As he got older, while his father ruled post-war Japan, Arthur would wake at 7am, and according to Manchester, “rush into the General’s bedroom and pummel him.We talked before about Ulysses S. Grant’s evening wrestling matches with his kids. We talked about the epic games in the yard that Harmon Killebrew’s father knew was killing his grass but helping raise his kids. Well, we shouldn’t just be talking about this, we shouldn’t just be thinking it was cute that MacArthur and Grant let their guard down at home. We have to do the same thing.No one is too important or too busy to have some crazy time at home. No one is above getting pummeled by their kid in bed. No father should hesitate before singing at the top of their lungs while they shave. These moments are the best moments. If they’re rare, you’re doing it wrong. They should be regular. Maybe like MacArthur, they should be scheduled every morning for 7:30.
Bob Allison was one of the best players for the Minnesota Twins during the 1960s. The Twins moved to Minnesota from Washington, D.C. for the 1961 season. However, before getting to Minnesota, Allison won the Rookie of the Year for Washington (known as the Senators) in 1959 by clubbing 30 Home Runs and knocking in 85 and batting .261. After the team moved to Minnesota is when Allison did most of his damage and, in fact, during the stretch of 1961 through 1964, Allison averaged 29 Home Runs a year. But, playing in the shadow of the great Harmon Killebrew and alongside such stars as Tony Oliva, Jim Kaat and Rod Carew certainly affected Bob Allison's popularity - especially outside of Minnesota. But inside the game, everyone knew who Bob Allison was, and he was not an easy out for opposing pitchers. He also possessed speed and that helped him track down fly balls others couldn't get to. In fact, Minnesota Twins fans voted Bob Allison the team's greatest left fielder during its first 25 years of existence. Joining SFH once again to talk about one of baseball's forgotten heroes is Gregory H. Wolf, the director of the BioProject for SABR. Gregory has written over 150 biographies forthe project and also authored the books, "A Pennant for the Twin Cities" and "Winning on the North Side, the 1929 Chicago Cubs".

Thom chats with former MLBer Eric Soderholm, looking back on his career that included playing alongside Harmon Killebrew & Reggie Jackson . Eric tells Thom how he had a successful post playing career in business, among them being ticket brokering & overseeing a wellness center.
The 89th All-Star Game owed Nationals Park nothing more. It’s mere presence here, after all this time, was enough. And yet, as if out of a sense of obligation to make up for lost time, it delivered a little bit of history, a little bit of drama and a steady and unprecedented stream of long fly balls leaving the yard. There were 10 homers on Tuesday night, obliterating a 47-year-old record for a single All-Star Game. In 1971, when six homers were launched, the hitters in question were Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew and Roberto Clemente. This time, the 10 hitters were Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, Willson Contreras, Trevor Story, Christian Yelich, Jean Segura, Scooter Gennett, Bregman, Springer and Joey Votto WP

You may not think much when you think "Twins leftfielders," but the group of players who have spent at least some time at the position is quite impressive indeed. Although Mark and Andy can't agree on who the 5 best players were (Harmon Killebrew or Larry Hisle???), we can all agree that the players who have played there are a fascinating collection of Hall of Famers, baseball pioneers, and forgotten names. We can guarantee that by the end of the episode, you'll know more about the position for this franchise than you ever could have wanted. Finish it by playing along in Roll The Stat, the preferred advanced baseball stat guessing game for 9 out of 10 sabermetricians.

Harmon Killebrew hit 573 home runs during his Major League career. But it all started with a dad who knew the secret to raising boys.
Harmon Killebrew remembers his first day in the big leagues in 1954, which was also the first Major League game he ever saw.Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew celebrates his first big league appearance, which occurred on June 23, 1954. As a pinch runner, he couldn't believe that he was on the same field with some of his childhood heroes.Smarter Podcasts.com, Delivering Sound Advice.
Harmon Clayton Killebrew had a 22 year major league career, and retired as the career leader in home runs by a right-handed batter (the record has since been broken).Killebrew became one of the American League's most feared power hitters of the 1960s, belting 40 homers in a season eight times. In 1965 he helped the Twins reach the World Series, where they lost to Don Drysdale's Los Angeles Dodgers. Killebrew had his finest season in 1969, hitting 49 home runs, driving in 140 runs, and winning the MVP Award. Killebrew led the league in home runs six times, in RBI three times, and was named to eleven All Star teams. As a result, he was nicknamed "Killer" - a portmanteau linking the first 5 letters of his last name with his legendary hitting ability. With exceptional upper-body strength, Killebrew was known not just for home run frequency but also significant "tape measure homer" distance. He hit the longest measured home runs at the ballparks in Minnesota and Baltimore, and was the first of just four batters who cleared the left field roof at Detroit.Despite his "Killer" nickname and his powerful style of play, Killebrew was in fact a quiet, kind man who was not much given to the partying lifestyle enjoyed by his peers. Asked once what he liked to do for fun, Killebrew replied, "Well, I like to wash dishes, I guess."Killebrew never hit 50 home runs in a single season, but he did hit 49 homers in a season twice (1964, 1969). He hit the most home runs for any player in the 1960s. For his entire career, he hit 573 home runs (ninth best all time, most by an American League right-hander, and second in the AL only to Babe Ruth, as of 2005) and drove in 1,584 runs. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984, the first Minnesota Twin to be so honored.Following his retirement, Killebrew was a television broadcaster for the Twins from 1976 to 1978, the Oakland Athletics from 1979 to 1982, the California Angels in 1983
Rocky Colavito was the fifth player in American League history to have eleven consecutive 20-home run seasons (1956–66), he hit over 40 home runs three times and 100 rbis six times during that same 11 year span . 371 of his 374 career home runs were hit in the AL, which left him behind only Jimmie Foxx (524) and Harmon Killebrew (then at 397) among the league's right-handed hitters when he retired. In 1965,while playing every game, He became the first outfielder in AL history to complete a season with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage. In 1976 he was voted the most memorable personality in Indians history, It is a pleasure to welcome a member Cleveland Indians' Hall of Fame.

"My father used to play with my brothers and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say: You’re tearing up the grass!" "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply, "We're raising boys."~Harmon Killebrew “It's a wonderful feeling when your father becomes not a god but a man to you—when he comes down from the mountain and you see he’s this man with weaknesses. And you love him as this whole being, not a figurehead.” ~Robin Williams
