Baseball and BBQ Episode #179: Celebrating baseball's opening week with a rare triple play from Loserville author, Clayton Trutor, The Grillin' Fools, Scott Thomas, and Spring Training Correspondent, Gary Looney Clayton Trutor joins us to discuss his latest book, Loserville:  How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta-and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports.  It is a fascinating look at Atlanta, Georgia and the four professional sports teams it brought in to try and make them a "Major League Town."  Trutor holds a PhD in U.S. history from Boston College.  He writes about college football and basketball for SB Nation.  Trutor is the Vermont state chairman of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and is a regular contributor to the SABR Biography Project.  Loserville is a 10 year project for Trutor, and it was a decade well spent as it is truly fascinating.   Scott Thomas is the originator of the Grillin' Fools.  After thousands of failures, and quite a few successes, more than two decades later he started a website to show step by step, picture by picture, foolproof grilling instructions so that others don't have to repeat the mistakes he's made on the grill. Continually challenging the traditional “rules” and “standards” of BBQ, Scott will grill anything from lettuce and leeks to brisket and bread.  He has written feature articles for both St. Louis and Feast Magazines, been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, and appeared in countless television and radio spots in his hometown of St. Louis as well as nationally televised tailgating commercials for Coca-Cola during NASCAR races on NBC and in an episode of Steven Raichlen's, Project Fire.  More information on Scott and the Grillin' Fools can be found at https://grillinfools.com/   Gary Looney makes his long awaited return.  Jeff first met Gary in 2020 at the Los Angeles Angels spring training camp complex in Arizona, and a friendship quickly developed.  Gary appeared with us on episodes 125, 56, and 87.  He once again offers great insight into spring training, the just-started baseball season, and how it is to see Shohei Ohtani in person.  Having him on has become an annual tradition, and his baseball knowledge is a great addition to any episode.   We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home by the musician, Dave Dresser, and the poet, Shel Krakofsky. We recommend you go to Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, Magnechef, https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, , Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.

Clayton Trutor author of the new book “Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports”.

Author Clayton Trutor joins Tucker and Coach to talk about his new book “Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta - and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports.” In the time period between the early 1960s through the late 1970s in Atlanta, city government and local business leadership created the mold for bringing sports franchises to a new city (4:51). A cautionary tale of “Too Much, Too Soon”, Clayton examines the circumstances and actions that led to Atlanta having zero major professional sports teams to all four in less than a decade (31:20). The lack of success and support gave Atlanta the moniker of “Loserville”, a struggle later experienced in cities like Phoenix, Tampa and San Diego (39:53). Finally, Tucker and Coach take a long overdue victory lap on the Braves' improbable 2021 World Series Championship (54:46).

By the time you hear this week's episode, the Atlanta Braves just may be celebrating their second-ever World Series trophy since moving from Milwaukee in 1956.  If so, it would be the team's first title in 26 years, and only the second time in the region's modern sports history - or fourth, if you include the titles won by the now-defunct NASL's Atlanta Chiefs in 1968 and Major League Soccer's Atlanta United three years ago - that "The ATL" has been able to boast of any true major pro sports championship.  That kind of futility can make any sports fan question their sanity, and as this week's guest Clayton Trutor ("Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta―and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports") tells us - in Atlanta's case, that self-doubt dates all the way back to the mid-1970s when one of its major newspapers dubbed the city "Loserville, USA". As Trutor describes it, Atlanta's excitement around the arrival of four professional franchises during a dynamic six-year (1966-72) period quickly gave way to general frustration and, eventually, widespread apathy toward its home teams.  By the dawn of the 80s, all four of the region's major-league franchises were flailing in the standings, struggling to draw fans - and, in the case of the NHL's Flames, ready to move out of town. While that indifference/malaise has dissipated somewhat in the decades since then (save for a second attempt at the NHL with the short-lived Thrashers), the dearth of team titles continues to loom over Atlanta's pro sports scene. The resurgent Braves and their paradigm-changing Truist Park complex may just help change all that.

Jim is joined by author Clayton Trutor to break down down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB slugger Dale Murphy. First, Jim and Clayton discuss how and why Murphy was the first cable television star in sports history (4:36). Next, they talk about his dominant run in the 1980s, how he compares to HOFer Jim Rice as a player, and whether Murphy passing the Bill James "ink test" matters (8:44). Finally, they discuss whether the success of the 1990s Braves may have hurt Murphy's candidacy (37:58), before both stating whether or not they believe Murphy deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (45:06). After making a final verdict, Clayton briefly talks about his new book, "Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta-and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports", which comes out February 1, 2022 (48:48)
