Join Luke Stuckmeyer and Cody Delmendo for the CHGO Cubs Podcast.

Jon Lester is one of the best big-game pitchers in modern history. He's got 2 rings with the Red Sox and he was a huge reason why the Cubs finally broke their own World Series curse. And perhaps his biggest accomplishment is the manner in which he battled and beat Cancer and what he's done for children all over the country to help them through their own Cancer fights over the years. When you hear him talk you'll know immediately why his teammates loved him and hitters feared him. Plus a story on how Big Papi didn't know what Dustin Pedroia's name was after playing with him for years and how he was in the clubhouse - Champagne and all, when Raje Davis almost ruined the Cubs World Series hopes!!

October 1, 1967 – The brilliant and brief Major League managerial career of Roberto Clemente began and ended on this day. Filling in for interim manager Danny Murtaugh, Clemente puts up stratospheric – if statistically insignificant – numbers as Pittsburgh's player-manager. The Pittsburgh Press reports: "Baseball's only undefeated ‘manager', Roberto Clemente, climaxed his greatest season ever by smashing his 23rd homer, a triple and driving in three runs while managing the Bucs before 28,244 fans on PrizeDay."October 1, 1932 - Babe Ruth, as legend has it, calls his home run against Chicago Cubs pitcher Charlie Root in the fifth inning of Game Three of the World Series, won by the New York Yankees 7-5 at Wrigley Field. Root contended to his dying day that this was not the case; he claimed Ruth held up his bat to indicate he had one strike left.October 1, 1961 - Roger Maris hits his 61st home run of the season against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium eclipsing Babe Ruth's 34-year-old single season home run record. The record setter was the only runscored in the game giving the Yankees a 1-0 win.October 1, 1978 - The Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 9 - 2 on the last day of the season, to force an epic one-game playoff between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Boston won their eighth straight 5 - 0 over the Toronto Blue Jays.October 1, 2008 In Anaheim, the Red Sox continue their postseason dominance of the Los Angeles Angels by taking Game One of the ALDS, 4 - 1. Jason Bay hits a two-run homer off John Lackey, while Jon Lester gives up only an unearned run in 7 innings of work for the win.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn Says

Happy July 4th to everybody out there! Ryan opens up todays show discussing the future of OF Lane Thomas. If you remember, the Nationals got Lane Thomas in return for Jon Lester at the 2021 deadline, and he has been one of the Nats best hitters since then.

Ryan tackles both of those topics to kickoff the show. Lastly, it's MLB Draft week so Ryan continues his draft breakdowns. Today, it's the hefty RHP from LSU, Paul Skenes.

Today on The 617: we discuss the shocking news of Xander Bogaerts leaving the Boston Red Sox in free agency to sign with the San Diego Padres. Bogaerts was a key player for the Red Sox, helping them win two World Series titles in 2013 and 2018, and was a 5-time all-star and 6-time silver slugger. We delve into the reasons behind this decision and explore whether the Red Sox ownership, led by John Henry, is using Chaim Bloom as a fall guy for their failure to retain their homegrown talent. We also discuss the possibility of Rafael Devers following in the footsteps of other generational players like Nomar Garciaparra, Jon Lester, and Mookie Betts and leaving the Red Sox in the future. Tune in for our analysis and expert insights on this major shakeup in the MLB. --------Bet it now on #BetUS! ⬇️bit.ly/CrowWorthy-Bet…Plus get a 125% sign-up bonus using promo code CROW
