Podcast appearances and mentions of Jim Bouton

March 8, 1939 in Newark, NJ Pitcher, author, philosopher, and pundit, March 8, 1939 in Newark, NJ Pitcher, author, philosopher, and pundit, Jim Bouton bore little resemblance to the vast majority of players who performed in the major leagues before he joined the New York Yankees in 1962. One of the new breed of ballplayers that began entering the game during the 1960s, Bouton was not as hardened or rough around the edges as most of the players who preceded him. An intellectual at heart, Bouton preferred to discuss politics or journalism, rather than spend much of his free time hunting or chasing women. Bouton's cerebral nature endeared him to the New York media, with whom he shared an amicable relationship during his seven years in the big city. However, it also alienated him somewhat from many of his teammates, who resented the inordinate amount of time he devoted to conversing with the members of the press corps. Nevertheless, Bouton's teammates rarely expressed their dissatisfaction with him early in his career, when the righthander was one of the American League's finest pitchers bore little resemblance to the vast majority of players who performed in the major leagues before he joined the New York Yankees in 1962.

Hey Folks! In this episode we talk about Carly's swollen two face job interview and the neo noir The Long Goodbye! The Long Goodbye is a 1973 American satirical neo-noir film directed by Robert Altman and written by Leigh Brackett, based on Raymond Chandler's 1953 novel. The film stars Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe and features Sterling Hayden, Nina Van Pallandt, Jim Bouton, Mark Rydell, and an early, uncredited appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The story's setting was moved from the 1940s to 1970s Hollywood. The film has been called "a study of a moral and decent man cast adrift in a selfish, self-obsessed society where lives can be thrown away without a backward glance ... and any notions of friendship and loyalty are meaningless."[2] In 2021, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"

Jedidiah Collins is the "Fullback of Finance." After a successful career in the NFL, he's on a mission to empower one million people to own their financial stories. He's an author, a speaker, a podcaster, and a teacher…his story is one of grit and determination. There are 380,000 collegiate athletes, yet only 1% percent of them make it to a professional level. Despite having success in college, Jed knew it would be challenging to make it as a pro.  But that didn't stop him. It wasn't a smooth ride by any means, and he shares his story of getting cut over and over again before finally landing a starting role for the Super Bowl-defending New Orleans Saints.  Not only did he become a starter, he was even named to the Pro Bowl team. Jed was part of what he calls the "Breakfast Club," when he would be one of the first people in the locker room learning and understanding what it takes to be a peak performer.  A consistent theme for Jed is he was able to steal success from each of the organizations he was a part of. We get a first-row seat to hear the fascinating stories of how he learned from iconic athletes like Drew Brees. After realizing that only 30% of retired NFL athletes walk away with their financial dream still intact, Jed decided to become a Certified Financial Planner during the off-season. On the show, we cover a lot of ground, including why thoughts are things, the difference between external and internal success, why repetition matters, how to silence the voice of quit, and why we should focus on most vs now. A the core of Jed's philosophy is a belief that we must eliminate potential. Jed has a winning mindset and shares how one-on-one basketball competitions with his brothers as a kid made an impact on his entire life. We also learned why he feels his greatest asset is his lifelong habit of journaling.

“Is our relationship with the wealth you have more about fear or more about joy? If you are experiencing any sort of poverty, what a difference would it make to be freed from that burden? Actually to “not be anxious about your life, what you all will eat or what you all will drink, or about your body, what you all will wear.” And if you are among those of us who are not, what a joy would it be to be a part of freeing each other from that? For all of us, whether what has us in our grip is wealth or debt, fear or anxiety, what would it be like to let go of that so we can embrace the God who is love and let that God who is love embrace and provide for us through one another?” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 29, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

As baseball celebrates another World Series champion, we decided awhile ago to read the classic baseball book, "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton. A sensation, when it was released in 1970, we discuss how much Bouton's book still shocks and what seems relatively tame nowadays. A must read for baseball fans but Bouton's talent as a writer makes for an interesting read for not just the devoted fans of America's pastime. Along the way, we discuss our history with baseball, favorite moments, and biggest heartbreaks. Enjoy!

July 26, 1991 Against the Dodgers, Montreal's Mark Gardner pitches a no-hitter for nine innings before Lenny Harris beats out an infield single in the 10th. The Dodgers get two more hits, including an RBI single by Darryl Strawberry, to plate the only run of the contest. After a 2-out walk in the 1st to Eddie Murray, Gardner retires 19 in a row.

They leave the team bus in traffic to use a rest room and fail to return. Conley decides he wants to fly to Israel, and goes to the airport, but is refused a ticket because he does not have a visa. Conley was the loser in the game, pitching 2 2/3 inning, and walking in two of the eight earned runs allowed. Pumpsie did not play. Jim Bouton is the winner, shutting out the Hubmen for six innings.July 26, 1948, Babe Ruth makes his final public appearance. Ruth visits the film premiere of "The Babe Ruth Story."

This week on the program, bust out the Courry Brand cat food and light up a cig because we're joined by actor, podcaster and Boom Pro Wrestling personality Travis Woloshyn for a selection out of his collection: Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973), starring Elliot Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Henry Gibson and Jim Bouton, and featuring the very first acting role for a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. Based on the book by Raymond Chandler, Altman offers a uniquely comic and at the time derided take on Philip Marlowe and the noir genre that nevertheless went on to influence countless classic films in the years since. Other works discussed in this episode: Inherent Vice, The Big Lebowski, California Split, The Big Sleep, Breathless, and of course, The Legend of Zelda. We also take a dive into Travis's IMDb for a behind-the-scenes look at Stargate SG-1, Supernatural, Woke, and Boom Pro Wrestling. If you'd like to watch the movie along with us (and you really should), it is currently streaming for free on Tubi in Canada at the time of publication. We'll be back next week to discuss the Luc Besson 90s sci-fi action epic The Fifth Element, with Trust The Process host and NEW commentator Jordan Bowman.

EPISODE 153: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Wait - what? After a lurid week of claiming the entire January 6 Insurrection was just "peaceful sight-seers" disturbed by "hooligans" and insisting that the greatest conspiracy in the history of the country had been effected to transform the country and weaponize this and lie about that, Tucker Carlson suddenly, abruptly, completely and without explanation DROPPED THE JANUARY 6TH VIDEO STORY LAST NIGHT. No Jacob Chansley. No withheld video. No punish Liz Cheney.  It's quiet. It's too quiet. What happened? The Department of Justice released three videos implicating Chansley, putting him within feet of a Senator (probably Chuck Grassley) during mid-evacuation.

On March 4, 1973, it was announced New York Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson would be holding separate press conferences that day. Both men would be announcing a trade, nothing unusual in baseball where players move around more than children in the back seat of a car. The assembled media got ready to learn where each of them was being traded. Mike Kekich explained the trade to the media. The two pitchers were not trading teams, they were trading wives. Not just wives, their entire families, even their dogs. Former teammate Jim Bouton, would later remark, “I can see trading your wife, but the dog?” Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy look back at one of the most bizarre sports stories of all time and discuss how it all worked out for the couples involved, plus a detour onto Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's haircut policy.

Rob Nelson, the original “shred head” and inventor of Big League Chew, joins the boys to talk about how he ended up in the Pacific Northwest pitching for the Portland Mavericks, spending time alongside Kurt Russell and (eventual Academy Award-nominated director) Todd Field and, of course, how being re-acquainted with Jim Bouton unexpectedly led to him becoming a bubble gum mogul.

Eds turns over a new leaf with this tale and despite Sean's disbelief announces a new found soft spot for Yankee pinstripes. And it's all because of one man's courage to speak his mind and stick to his guns despite an attempted gagging by the baseball establishment. In the first of a likely series of episodes Eds tells Sean about the working class hero Jim Bouton, and the Bulldog attitude that kept him in the sports fan's psyche long after he left the mound.

Legal scholar and baseball historian Mitch Nathanson discusses the amazing and interesting life of Jim Bouton. He talks about his early days as how he wasn’t even the best pitcher on his high school baseball team. Scouts went to see his teammate Jerry Colangelo. He goes into his early baseball success with the Yankees in the 1963 and 1964 World Series. Nathanson explains how Bouton’s life changed with the release of Ball Four, Bouton’s baseball account of life with the Seattle Pilots. Bouton became a controversial figure basically being blacklisted. Mitch then discusses Bouton’s life on TV and his role in the invention of Big League Chew. He finishes with the importance of Jim Bouton on the game of baseball.HOST: Rob Mellon FEATURED BREW: Natural Light, Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, MOBOOK: Bouton: The Life of a Baseball Originalhttps://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9781496217707/MUSIC: Bones Fork

October 5, 1963 Don Drysdale pitched a masterful three-hitter at Dodger Stadium in his complete-game win. Manager Walter Alston called Drysdale's performance "one of the greatest pitched games I ever saw." Jim Bouton, making his first World Series start, dueled Drysdale throughout, permitting only four hits in seven innings for a losing cause. The lone run of the game came in the bottom of the first on a Jim Gilliam walk, a wild pitch and a single by Tommy Davis. Gilliam almost scored again in the eighth off Hal Reniff, but was caught in an attempt to steal third. The final out came on Joe Pepitone's drive that backed Dodger right fielder Ron Fairly up against the bullpen gate to make the catch of a ball that would have been a home run in Yankee Stadium. Tony Kubek had two of the Yankees' three hits, but none of the hits were extra-base hits.

The impact of Jim Bouton, author of Ball Four, on the game of baseball and collecting.

Today we are joined by Dr. Mitchell Nathanson, author of the book Bouton: The Life of a Baseball Original (University of Nebraska Press, 2020). Nathanson, a professor of law at the Jeffrey S. Moorad Center for the Study of Sports at Villanova University, examines the life of Jim Bouton, a journeyman pitcher whose 1970 book, “Ball Four,” was a lightning rod for controversy and became one of the best sports books of all time. Nathanson examines the dynamics behind the crafting and publishing of “Ball Four,” Bouton’s diary of the 1969 major league baseball season. He examines the contributions of Leonard Shecter, the former New York Post sportswriter who helped shape Bouton’s narrative. More importantly, Nathanson presents a more well-rounded portrait of Bouton, a free-thinking man who marched to his own beat and was not afraid to buck the establishment. Bouton’s youth, his early successes with the New York Yankees and fall from grace are chronicled. Well-researched with interviews from key figures in his lifetime, “Bouton” provides context and reveals the man behind a work that was vilified fifty years ago as a “kiss-and-tell” book but is now lauded as a sports classic. Nathanson brings fresh perspective and delivers an unvarnished, critical view of Bouton. Bob D’Angelo earned his master’s degree in history from Southern New Hampshire University in May 2018. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida and spent more than three decades as a sportswriter and sports copy editor, including 28 years on the sports copy desk at The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune. He is currently a digital news producer for Cox Media Group. Bob can be reached at bdangelo57@gmail.com. For more information, visit Bob D’Angelo’s Books and Blogs.

Rosie tells us of the interesting life of Jim Bouton, a major league pitcher who was probably more famous for his tell-all book about baseball, "Ball Four", than he was as a relatively average major league pitcher. Bouton died Wednesday at the age of 80.

Opening day. Or Opening Day, depending on how you feel about it. –Jim Bouton, Ball Four It is June yet! Opening day of the 2019 CFL season is upon us, and the Rouge, White & Blue Podcast is stoked to enter our fourth full season of chatting Canadian football from South Of The Border.  In RWB episode #139, co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard discuss… At 00.00 – the Jonathan Rose non-suspension and the potentially very disturbing precedent this causes. 10.04 – Kevin Glenn's retirement from the CFL and in what uniform he should be enshrined into a Hall of Fame wearing. 16.59 – Our predictions for the 2019 season through the prism of the annual CFL media poll which the RWB was privileged enough to participate in. Sparing the spoilers, the co-hosts like the chances of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, BC Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats to varying degrees; are down on the Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders; and show an interesting divergence of opinion on the Montreal Alouettes. Lots of predictions about individual awards and numbers are made as well. 54.32 – And finally, the old standby: Picking next week's games. Joe and Os mull over week 1 games, with an eye (Os's, that is) on betting Saskatchewan +3 at Hamilton, Montreal +10 at Edmonton, Ottawa Redblacks +6 at Calgary Stampeders; and Winnipeg +2 at BC.
