Podcasts about Jim Bunning

March 5, 1996 — The Veterans Committee elects four new members for the Hall of Fame, and just misses naming a fifth. The group elected includes fiery manager Earl Weaver, who had a .583 winning percentage in 17 seasons managing the Baltimore Orioles; pitcher Jim Bunning, who won 100 games in both leagues, including no-hitters in each circuit, one of them a perfect game; 19th-century manager Ned Hanlon, who won five National League pennants with the Baltimore Orioles (3) and Brooklyn (2), and Bill Foster, the top left-handed pitcher in the Negro Leagues. Nellie Fox receives the necessary 75% of the Committee's votes, but the rules allow just one modern player elected, and Bunning has more votes.Mentioned in this episode:Classic Baseball BroadcastsClassic Baseball Broadcasts

- Harry Wismer- Jim BunningIn this 1958 radio interview, listeners hear from Jim Bunning, one of the most formidable pitchers in Major League Baseball during the late 1950s. At this point in his career, Bunning was establishing himself as a key player for the Detroit Tigers, having already achieved notable success, including a no-hitter in 1958. Known for his pinpoint control and competitive nature, Bunning was in the midst of a season that would see him win 14 games with a 3.52 ERA. His career was on a steady rise, and within a few years, he would become one of only a handful of pitchers to throw a no-hitter in both the American and National Leagues.This interview provides valuable insight into Bunning's mindset during a pivotal year in his career. As a player who would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame and also serve as a U.S. Senator, Bunning's reflections during this period offer a glimpse into the determination and discipline that characterized his approach to both baseball and life. The conversation in this clip captures a moment in time when Bunning was solidifying his reputation as one of the game's elite pitchers.#JimBunning #DetroitTigers #1950sBaseball #HallOfFamePitcher #BaseballHistory

10-23-2023 Passed Ball Show. John starts off this program by pointing out that the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies both clinched the League Championship Series OTD last year and have a chance to do it again tonight. John then talks about the success of the Philadelphia Phillies and the reason they have a chance to win the World Series this season. That is because of the amount of money they have spent in free agency. John believes that this is great for the sport of baseball and explains why. John then talks about how many in the baseball community have overrated the managerial success of Bob Melvin as he gets set to take his third MLB manager job in Four Seasons. During today's #savingsportsHISTORY segment, John discusses, among other things, cricket, Pele, Jackie Robinson, Rick Sutcliffe, John Heisman, Frank "Bruiser" Kinard, Vern Stevens, Jim Bunning, and W. G. Grace.

And eventually managing  presidential campaigns for both Senator Bob Graham and General Wes Clark - plus why Paul has been based out of Shreveport, LA for the past 20 years.

It's FATHER'S DAY 2021... and we didn't have any PERFECT GAMES like Jim Bunning threw for the Phillies against the Mets in 1964 - Although the Mets lost today like they did in '64 and the Phillies were PERFECT today... perfectly AWFUL against the Giants in San Francisco right after playing the Dodgers in L.A. the series before, winning exactly one game out of each three game series.  In other sports, Jon Rahm won the U.S. Open today in Torrey Pines... after he was made to bow out a few weeks ago because of COVID.  That's a feel good story if I do say so myself.  The Habs are playing the Knights presently after beating them two straight games in their Western Conference Finals... can VGK tie it up like the Islanders did last night against the defending Stanley Cup champ Lightning? We'll see during the show... (SPOILER ALERT... KNIGHTS WON IN OT... and just like the East it's NOW A SERIES!!)Yes, there was a basketball game tonight, too.... ((yawwwwwn...)) and we'll talk about it IF you wish (and I'm feeling masochistic). Guess the masochist in me won out... as we saw the Hawks beat the Sixers to face the Bucks in the East finals upcoming.  Of course FOOTBALL is always on our minds 7/24/365.25 out of the year... and to start out the show it was a GREAT THRILL to be joined by Ken Thomson of SportsX Radio / KDWN in Vegas... who brought some great tidbits about Solomon Thomas and our Raiders, along with some great insight about the Golden Knights.... Phoenix Suns... and today's U.S. Open.  WHAT A PLEASURE TO HAVE KEN THOMSON OPEN UP OUR SHOW!!    Otherwise... I hope all had a great weekend, as I get ready for a trip to HOTTTTT AF LAS VEGAS THIS WEEKEND... and some Beach time in San Diego starting on Sunday.

On June 21, 1964 On Father's Day at Shea Stadium, Jim Bunning fans 10, drives in two runs, and pitches the first perfect game (excluding Don Larsen's 1956 World Series effort and Harvey Haddix's 1959 extra-inning loss) since Charlie Robertson's on April 30, 1922. Philadelphia beats the Mets, 6 – 0. Bunning also becomes the first pitcher to win no-hitters in both leagues, and Gus Triandos becomes the first catcher to catch a no-hitter in each league. Bunning throws just 90 pitches in winning his second no-hitter. The next time Bunning faces the Mets he will shut them out. The Mets don't fare much better in the nitecap as 18-year-old rookie Rick Wise wins his first game and gives up just three hits for an 8 – 2 win. The Phils increase their National League lead to two games over the Giants.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin' Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past. A young, hard throwing right hander in the Boston Red Sox organization, Tracy Stallard earned an unfortunate spot in baseball's record books when he surrendered Roger Maris's historic 61st home run in 1961. Stallard would join the Mets in their second season of existence and spend some time in the team's starting rotation. As a Met, he would once again find himself on the wrong end of baseball history as he toed the rubber on Father's Day 1964 against Jim Bunning—who would go on to throw the first Perfect Game in the National League since 1880. As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin' Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Jim Bunning was famously the first pitcher to win 100 games and pitch a no-hitter in each league. But the story of why he got traded to the Phillies 57 years ago this week is a classic tale of Detroit Tigers cutting off their nose to spite their face. Mike and Bill look back at Bunning's life and career and on the trade that, because of the statistical oddity it produced, probably led to his being added to the Hall of Fame. Plus, happy birthday to Firpo Marberry and Dick McAuliffe!
