Orel Hershiser joins Jay Horwitz for a rare deep dive into the year he spent as a New York Met — and the unforgettable moments that came before it. From earning his 200th career win in Flushing to outdueling the Mets in the legendary 1988 NLCS, Hershiser reflects on a career full of iconic moments and unlikely friendships. He opens up about what it meant to play behind Robin Ventura and Rey Ordoñez, why Bobby Valentine was one of the smartest minds he's ever worked with, and the hilarious myth about John Olerud's helmet. Plus: tales from the Dodgers' clubhouse, broadcasting with Vin Scully, and why Ricky Henderson was truly one of one. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Intro: Orel Hershiser's Mets & Dodgers Legacy01:00 – Why He Signed with the Mets in ‘9902:15 – Bobby Valentine, Buck Showalter & a Smart Clubhouse03:00 – Remembering That 1999 Mets Team04:00 – Clinching the Wild Card: Brad Clontz's Wild Pitch05:00 – Pitching Through Pain, Grit, and Adjustments06:30 – The Grand Slam Single Game from the Mound08:00 – Winning Career Game #200 as a Met09:15 – Flashback to 1988 NLCS: Breaking the Mets' Hearts11:00 – Dodging Bulletin Board Material & Lasorda's Pep Talks12:30 – Game 7 Heroics & Tommy's Crazy Contingency Plan14:00 – Thoughts on Payroll, Competitive Balance & Steve Cohen15:30 – Shohei Ohtani Is a Fantasy16:45 – Best Infield Orel Ever Played Behind18:00 – The Olerud Helmet Story Was Fake?!19:00 – Ricky Henderson Talked in the 3rd Person20:00 – The Mercury Mets Game21:00 – Why That One Mets Year Meant So Much22:00 – Life Lessons from Vin Scully & Dodgers Legends23:30 – On Broadcasting with Joe Davis & ESPN24:30 – Orel's Plans During the Dodgers-Mets Series25:00 – A Farewell to Jay from the Bulldog Himself Learn more about your ad choices.

We say we don't care but we talk ourselves into rooting for LAD because of sandwiches, some boyfriend math, and general disdain for the NYY. The dads check in – putting Freddie's last few months in perspective, remembering childhood dreams, and dancing with the other dads.  We lost Fernando Valenzuela last week and Pottymouth gives us some context, some history, and some appreciation. And not for nothing, brings up housing policy. The MLBPA Players Choice Awards foreshadow the big ones. We consider the interpreter version of the Mendoza Line and are still working out if it is the Roberts or the Lasorda line. So many familiar faces in winter ball – baseball does not stop when the Series is over! And the Rays evaluate new sites for opening day.We say, ”I picked both Hernandi,” “I'd eat that sandwich,” and “I'm kind of off billionaires right now.” Make a plan to vote, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

October 15, 1988 - With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Kirk Gibson hits a pinch-hit home run off Dennis Eckersley to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5 - 4 victory over the Oakland Athletics in Game One of the World Series. Gibson, who injured himself making a game saving catch in the National League Championship Series, never came out for game one introductions and never took batting practice spending the entire game on the trainer's table receiving treatment with Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda checking on him between innings. Inning after inning, Lasorda checked and was given the thumbs down each time until the bottom of the ninth with the A's leading 4-3 when the clubhouse boy told Lasorda that Gibson wanted to speak to him. ”I think I can hit for you, Skipper” was the message Lasorda heard when he arrived in the trainer's room. Eckersley got the first 2 batters out. Alfredo Griffin was next up when Lasorda sent Mike Davis to the plate instead, with Gibson warming up unbeknownst to anyone. As Eck settled in to pitch, Lasorda sent Dave Anderson to the on deck circle.Eckersley took notice and decided he wasn't going to let Davis hit it out of the ballpark. He worked the count to 3-2 and walked Davis. “Now get out there Big Boy” Lasorda ordered Gibson, whose appearance sent the crowd into a frenzy. Lasorda decided Gibson had two swings to try and hit it out of the park and then he gave Davis the green light to steal 2nd. With 1st base open, the A's chose not to walk Gibson who worked the count to 3-2 andGibson launched the next pitch out of the park. Vin Scully's call of the play say's it all “"In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!"October 15, 1970 - For the third time, the Baltimore Orioles overcome a 3 - 0 deficit to bury the Cincinnati Reds, 9 - 3, and win the World Series in five games. Brooks Robinson won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award hitting .429 and breaking the record for total bases with seventeen. Robinsons stellar fielding earned him the nickname “Hoover”.

Have you heard about the sermon on the MOUND?Baseball manager Tommy Lasorda visited the pitcher's mound to speak to his young, skinny pitcher who was getting shelled. He looked into his eyes and said, “I don't see a scared, timid kid. I see a fighter. From now on, your name will be ‘Bulldog.'” The name of the pitcher was Orel Hershiser, and he would go on to win the Cy Young award as the best pitcher in the National League. To this day, Hershiser credits his turnaround with what he calls Lasorda's “Sermon on the Mound.” Words from a mentor are powerful tools in growing confident young men.Find an organization that emphasizes male mentorship and godly legacy.

1977 World Series Game 4 Saturday October 15th, 1977 @ Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, CA The Yankees took game three in convincing fashion to regain home field advantage in this best of seven series. Looking to press their advantage, they will turn to an emerging star, Ron Guidry (16 - 7 2.82 ERA 210 IP). The Louisiana-born lefty broke out in a big way during his first full major league season, helping to solidify the rotation along with right-hander Mike Torrez. The 26 year old was fantastic down the stretch, going 11 - 3 over his final 16 starts with a 2.47 ERA. On the offensive side, all eyes are on Reggie Jackson, who has yet to play like “Mr. October”. The former MVP has been a non-factor in the playoffs so far, putting up a meager .160/.300/.160 slash line (4 - 25 2 RBI in 8 games). Billy Martin and the Yankees are hoping that Reggie can turn it around in rapid fashion, like he did for the A's in 1973. For Tommy Lasorda and the Dodgers, this afternoon's game is a must win. You do not want to go on the verge of elimination if you can avoid it. The LA bats have provided some thump (5 HRs in the last two games), but they've mostly been unable to touch the Yankees starters outside of Catfish Hunter. On the mound will be a lefty of their own, Doug Rau (14 - 8 3.43 ERA 212 IP). Rau won 11 of his first 12 decisions, but then lost 7 of his final 10, though his record belies the underlying numbers. He actually pitched to a 2.81 ERA in the losing stretch, compared to a 3.86 ERA in the winning one. Such can be the life of a pitcher. If Rau struggles, expect Lasorda to turn to his other starter, Rick Rhoden (16 - 10 3.74 ERA 216 IP) in relief.

In this week's Reagan Forum, we go back to August 2019, when we hosted a conversation with Major League Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. After a brief career as a left-handed pitcher, Tommy Lasorda became one of the most enthusiastic and successful managers in baseball history. Lasorda, who has been with the Dodgers for 65 years, led the team to two world championships, four National League titles and eight division titles in 20 years as manager of the team. Following his retirement as manager, Lasorda became a special advisor to the chairman of the Dodgers. One of his most memorable accomplishments was managing the United States to its first-ever gold medal in baseball at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

2009 - Ichiro Suzuki raps the 3,000th hit of his career, combining the major leagues (1,722) and Japan's Pacific League (1,278). Isao Harimoto was the only player to collect 3,000 or more hits in Nippon Pro Baseball, putting Ichiro second all-time in hits by a Japanese player in top-tier baseball leagues. July 29, 1996, future Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda announces that he is retiring as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 68-year-old Lasorda, who had suffered a heart attack earlier in the year, will become a team vice-president.

With runners on first and second, Cleveland's Joe Azcue hits a line drive to Hansen, who makes the catch before retiring the two runners. Three days later, the Senators will trade Hansen to the Chicago White Sox for utility infielder Tim Cullen.1900 - With all the National League teams in the East, and no Sunday games allowed, 100 players gather in New York City. Their demands are: release of players who are not going to be used rather than farming them out, and players to share in the purchase price when they are sold. Says veteran Hughie Jennings: "We are not out to fight the owners, but to resolve injustices in the contracts." 1919 - At Navin Field, Dutch Leonard decides to pitch around Braggo Roth with two outs in the ninth inning to face Babe Ruth. Although the Boston slugger, who has already reached the Detroit southpaw with two doubles, responds by tying an American League record with his ninth home run of the month and sixteenth of the season, the Tigers prevail, 10 - 8.

Ray says it's not a big deal that Oladokun was cut. He thinks the Steelers may try to find another QB to put him on the practice squad? Ray says that you'd have to ask Kevin Colbert about this pick because the Steelers didn't need another quarterback. On preseason game 3: "I think Mitch is going to go longer than he has, probably a quarter or a quarter and a half...I expect Najee to get a series or two." Ray says that the Steelers should kick the tires on street free agents on the Oline. Ray doesn't think Pickett can win the starting job, but does think he's farther along than the team thought he would be.

Paul Olden is the current public address announcer for the New York Yankees at Yankees Stadium. He has been the announcer since the Yankees moved to their new ballpark in 2009. Born in Chicago, Olden moved with his family to Los Angeles as a child. He attended Dorsey High school and Los Angeles City College. Olden was formerly a radio and television play-by-play announcer for the Yankees, Tamps Bay Devil Rays, California Angels, Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Eagles, UCLA Bruins, Los Angels Rams, New York Jets, New York Nets and ESPN. Olden was the target of Los Angels Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda's infamous and profanity laden "Dave Kingman tirade" in 1978, in which Lasorda ranted at Olden (who worked at Los Angels radio station KLAC at the time) when he asked him about Kingman having hit three home runs against the Dodgers that day. He was also the PA announcer for 13 consecutive Super Bowls from 1993 to 2005.Olden replaced Jim Hill, the successor to Bob Sheppard, who had been the Yankees announcer since 1951. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-brown57/support

Ryan and Beau pay tribute to Tommy Lasorda and Ryan reflects on the time his life intersected with Lasorda's. Hank Aaron was somehow underrated. Stop saying politics are keeping Curt Schilling out of the Hall of Fame. Re-signing Justin Turner may be the only option left. Thanks for the memories Enrique, Wood, and probably Joc.

Why does major college football suck now, and is a "spring season" in jeopardy for SD teams? Did Hendo handle Freidel's punishment well? Plus, the Browns, Lasorda, and some natural potty humor.

Time is a flat circle these days, so it's easy to forget that normally the winter is filled with important offseason baseball happenings. This year, not so much, so you're forgiven for forgetting we're in the midst of Hot Stove season. It's just not all that hot. Baseball teams aren't spending any money, fearing continued COVID-related revenue losses. One team that has been active? The San Diego Padres, who have made some power moves to try and close the gap between themselves and the Dodgers in the National League. Greg Bergman of 710 ESPN joins the show to discuss their progress. How good has San Diego's offseason been? How much have they shaved off of L.A.'s advantage? Are the Dodgers still the favorites in the National League? (Spoiler alert... yes) Could they actually be better this year than last? What about Justin Turner? Is his career in L.A. over? Will Gavin Lux finally break through? What if Cody Bellinger's shoulder still isn't quite right? Those are just some of the questions we cover. After, Greg explains what Tommy Lasorda meant to born-and-bred Dodgers fans, before we finish with a Lasorda-inspired game in his honor.
