Baseball history gets personal, and this one might change how you see the game forever. Author, filmmaker, historian, and former player Kerry Yo Nakagawa reveals the hidden legacy of Japanese American baseball. The family stories that shaped his life, and the lessons every athlete needs to hear right now. Kerry has spent decades preserving a missing chapter of American sports history, from the Nisei players who were denied access to Major League Baseball to the generations of ballplayers who kept the game alive anyway. He shares how a childhood surrounded by sandlot baseball, a family photo with Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, and a simple moment watching his son's jersey sparked a lifelong mission to uncover the stories most fans never hear. You'll discover: – Why Japanese American players were forced into their own leagues – How sandlot baseball built championship habits, double plays, and baseball IQ – What Japan's training, discipline, and attention to detail can teach players everywhere – Why Shohei Ohtani's bathroom duty says everything about his mindset – How baseball, football, film, and even Alcatraz all connect in one unforgettable life Kerry also opens up about his work in film and television. His work on Rocky II, Chuck Norris projects, and his close relationship with Pat Morita, the beloved Mr. Miyagi. Along the way, he talks about the power of pride, discipline, and doing every job like it matters – whether you're cleaning a toilet, turning a double play, or chasing a dream. If you love baseball, history, or stories about people who turned adversity into legacy, this episode belongs on your playlist. It is funny, surprising, deeply human, and packed with the kind of insight that makes you appreciate the game in a whole new way.

This week's MLB Pipeline Podcast takes us to Iowa as much of Major League Baseball descends on the Field of Dreams this week. That includes the prospect world and Sam Dykstra, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff kick things off by previewing Tuesday night's Minor League game to be held in Dyersville between the St. Paul Saints (Twins) and Iowa Cubs, a contest featuring top prospects like the Twins' Walker Jenkins and the Cubs' Owen Ayers. Then, they look at Wednesday's High School All-American Game, with top prep players from the 2027 Draft class like Dylan Seward and Bryce Cunningham. After that long stop in the Hawkeye State, the guys turn their attention to creating an "All-Teen" prospect team in advance of the new Top 100 coming this week, headlined by Jesús Made of the Brewers and the A's Leo De Vries, then break down a trio of MLB debuts, all in the AL Central: the Twins' Kaelen Culpepper, the Guardians' Angel Genao and White Sox lefty Hagen Smith.

You likely recognize the quote “If you build it, he will come.” It took off in the American lexicon from the 1989 Iowa baseball film, "Field of Dreams." People have been coming to that Iowa baseball diamond in the middle of a cornfield for more than 30 years now — to visit the movie site. Now, Major League Baseball and the town of Dyersville, Iowa have built something new. It's a professional field alongside the film set. On Thursday evening the Twins and the Phillies will face off on it, and the game will stream live on Netflix. The St. Paul Saints will play at the field Tuesday evening against the Iowa Cubs. Jacque Rahe knows the field well. She's the executive director of the Dyersville Economic Development Corporation and has been helping manage the “Field of Dreams” site for years. She talked to MPR News host Nina Moini about the first game at the new field, and why “Field of Dreams” has resonated with fans for so long.

Tuesday is primary election day. The polls are open across the state until 8 p.m. MPR News reporters are out talking to voters, and will share what issues are standing out as voters choose candidates to send to the November election for governor, senator and other races. In St. Paul, voters may see a question on their November ballots about the right to repair for renters. A nurse practitioner is reconnecting with patients who were living in a homeless encampment that the City of St. Paul cleared last week. We'll hear from her about her work.Imagine 89,000 EV chargers in the Twin Cities metro. That's what's needed to keep up with demand, according to the Metropolitan Council. Is it heaven? Is it Iowa? We'll go to Major League Baseball's new “Field of Dreams.”Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Decision Day” by Field Report, and our Song of the Day was “Is It Far Or Is It Close” by Author.

Yes, there was an All-Star game in Major League Baseball in 1917. In fact, before the All-Star Game became a regular fixture on the baseball calendar in 1933, it wasn't unusual to see some sort of All-Star game, or an exhibition game featuring stars from around baseball. But this game, in 1917, was different. It was staged to honor a baseball giant, Tim Murnane, who not only played the game, but was a manager, an umpire, an executive and a baseball journalist. After he left the diamond behind, Murnane created his own newsletter, "The Boston Referee." It became a must-read for baseball fans and it wasn't too long before the "Boston Globe," scooped up Murnane and he became a sports editor for the legendary newspaper. Years later, Murnane died suddenly at a theatre. Everyone around the sport (and elsewhere) was saddened and wanted to help his family. The Red Sox and many from the baseball world arranged a game to help raise money for Murnane's family. Murnane meant so much to so many that they played the game during the season. Stars left their teams to play in the middle of a pennant race. Tris Speaker, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, and several others made their way to Fenway Park to take part. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, Scott D. Reich, author of the new book, "One Day in September," joins the show for a look back at a very special edition of a baseball All-Star game.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take stock of the standings following the trade deadline, kicking off with the chaotic and mediocre American League wildcard race. They break down the Seattle Mariners' miserable weekend, where the team was swept at home by the Tampa Bay Rays while celebrating 50 years of franchise history in front of over 40 franchise legends. The guys evaluate whether Dan Wilson's squad can recover during a grueling August road trip or if Seattle's season is officially slipping away. The conversation shifts to the surprising Detroit Tigers, who have surged into second place in the AL Central with the American League's best run differential behind strong pitching performances and the return of Jackson Jobe. Jake and Jordan also cover the Oakland A's decision to part ways with long-time front-office executive David Forst after a disastrous season, as well as Chris Sale's historic pre-game ejection at Yankee Stadium before the first pitch was even thrown. Over in the National League, the hosts dissect the Los Angeles Dodgers' recent slump after dropping two out of three games to the surging Arizona Diamondbacks. They analyze whether the Dodgers' aging offense is showing early warning signs for October, review the Philadelphia Phillies' bullpen fatigue, highlight the New York Mets' hot streak against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and close out the show with a debate over when the "dog days of summer" actually begin and end.   Timetamps: (00:00) — Intro & Debating the "Dog Days of Summer" (01:32) — AL Standings Check & Seattle Mariners' 50th-Anniversary Disaster (12:02) — Tampa Bay Rays' Dominance & Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles (22:31) — Detroit Tigers' Surge & AL Central Standings Breakdown (28:56) — Yankees Beat Braves, Chris Sale Ejected Before 1st Pitch & Red Sox Drop Series to A's (34:53) — Oakland A's Part Ways with Executive David Forst (38:40) — NL West: Dodgers' Aging Offense Concerns & Diamondbacks' Surge (47:07) — Phillies Bullpen Woes, Padres Beat Astros & Mets Rock Pirates (59:43) — Weekend Quick Hits: Nats Sweep, Jacob Misiorowski's Dominance & Craig Kimbrel to Royals (01:08:38) — Final Thoughts & Defining the Baseball "Dog Days" Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the National League MVP race after Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani both hit two home runs in the finale of the Chicago Cubs' three-game sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The guys dive deep into PCA's leap as a hitter—including cutting his chase rate by 7.5%—and contrast his elite center field defense with Ohtani's offensive dominance and 85.2 innings on the mound. They also run through the rest of the MLB awards landscape, including Yordan Alvarez commanding the AL MVP, Dylan Cease battling Cam Schlittler for the AL Cy Young, Jacob Misiorowski facing Cristopher Sanchez for NL Cy Young, and key Rookie of the Year contenders. Next, the mailbag opens up for a series of wild conspiracy theories and listener emails. The hosts evaluate whether Detroit Tigers owner Chris Ilitch traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers to fuel salary cap animosity, debate whether non-Dodgers front offices hold a "loser mentality," address a Washington Nationals fan's frustration over trading core stars, and discuss why Gen Z players keep trolling about whether Babe Ruth was a real person. Finally, it's Friday, which means it's time for "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". Highlights from "The Good" include the Boston Red Sox's wild 13-inning comeback against the Chicago White Sox and Jefry Yan's leaping strikeout debut for the New York Mets. "The Bad" covers Harrison Bader's fire truck scooter accident and Kevin Gausman's daughter roasting the Blue Jays. "The Uggla features Dave Dombrowski defending Alec Bohm using RBI statistics and Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio giving an unprompted rant about former Phillies players.   Timestamps: (00:00) — Introduction & Cubs Sweep the Dodgers (02:18) — NL MVP Debate: Pete Crow-Armstrong vs. Shohei Ohtani (20:57) — Award Races: AL MVP, Cy Young & Rookie of the Year (30:13) — Mailbag: Tarik Skubal Trade & Salary Cap Conspiracy Theories (39:22) — Mailbag: Front Office Mindsets & Nats Fan Despair (53:30) — Mailbag: Does Gen Z Believe Babe Ruth Was Real?

Munaf Manji talks betting for Friday. Munaf Manji hosts Friday, August 7's Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, opening with a recap of Thursday's card before working through a full slate of Major League Baseball betting angles for the night ahead. He reviews a winning Washington Nationals team total for Uncle Dave against Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies, a tough loss on the Kansas City Royals despite a strong start from Bailey Ober for the Minnesota Twins and a solid outing from Michael Wacha, and touches on the grind of a rough recent stretch handicapping baseball across the industry. He also breaks down the NFL Hall of Fame Game, where rookie quarterback Haynes King led the Carolina Panthers to a 33 to 30 win over the Arizona Cardinals on a last second touchdown that blew well past the total, and shares a note that Garrett Crochet is expected back for the Boston Red Sox out of the bullpen rather than as a starter for now. He runs through the rest of Thursday's scores, including a marathon 13 inning win for the Red Sox over the White Sox, a blowout for Detroit over Seattle, and a Mets sweep of the Cleveland Guardians that included a difficult team debut for newly acquired starter Foster Griffin. From there Munaf builds out Friday's full card, starting with the Cincinnati Reds visiting the Washington Nationals in what looks like a bullpen day for Chase Petty against Cade Cavalli, with the Nationals offense cooling after trading Luis Garcia Junior to the Yankees and losing James Wood to injury. He covers Tyler Mahle's first start for the Atlanta Braves against former teammate Max Fried and the surging Yankees, and identifies the marquee matchup of the night as Parker Messick and the Cleveland Guardians visiting Noah Schultz and the division leading Chicago White Sox in a tightly bunched American League Central race. He also previews Roki Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting a struggling Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Robbie Ray's San Diego Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros, before running through quick hits on Jose Soriano's Toronto Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, Payton Tolle and the Red Sox against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Kevin Gausman's Chicago Cubs debut against the Royals, and the Cardinals hosting Ryan Feltner and the Rockies. Munaf highlights the biggest promotion of the year at Pregame dot com, where 20 dollars buys bettors 100 bulk dollars in credit, a 400 percent bonus that never expires and can be applied toward any picks package on the site. His official Cash That Ticket best bet of the night lands on the Cleveland Guardians at minus 136 on the moneyline over the Chicago White Sox, built around Parker Messick against a struggling Noah Schultz in a series carrying real weight for the division race, with Munaf noting that a Guardians win or sweep this weekend could pull Cleveland level with Chicago atop the American League Central depending on how the Minnesota Twins fare in their own series in Milwaukee. It is a full recap and preview built for bettors chasing value across totals, moneylines, and team props on a busy Friday slate, delivered with the same numbers driven, conversational approach that has made Cash That Ticket a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed.

Griffin Warner talks betting on Friday. Griffin Warner runs through a stacked Friday, August 7 Major League Baseball slate on Episode 80 of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast feed, breaking down all 11 games at a moment when several rotations are still shifting in the wake of the trade deadline. He opens with the Mets sending Zach Thornton to Pittsburgh against Carmen Mlodzinski, reading the heavy under juice on the eight and a half total as a sign the market expects a Pirates bullpen game, especially with new arm Luke Weaver now closing and Mets closer Devin Williams sitting the last two nights. Griffin leans toward New York at plus 129 and likes the over, suggesting patience for a push to eight. He then covers Jose Soriano's Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, preferring the Toronto run line at plus one and a half over the moneyline, and the first five under four and a half. Tyler Mahle's first start for the Braves against former teammate Max Fried in the Bronx draws Griffin's trust in the Atlanta bullpen despite a modest season, landing on the Braves at plus 134 and the under eight. He gives a brief look at the Athletics visiting a red hot Red Sox club before diving into the Angels and Marlins, where he backs Tyler Phillips and multiple unders against a struggling Los Angeles lineup. The show's strongest opinion arrives with the Guardians visiting the White Sox, where Griffin fades Parker Messick despite respecting his stuff, pointing to Cleveland's shaky bullpen, poor defense, and inability to hit with runners on, and lands on Chicago at plus 122 with unders on both the full game and first five totals. He explains why the Twins overspent caution at the deadline on players like Dean Kremer even as Zebby Matthews starts in Milwaukee, builds a live number on air for Kevin Gausman and the Cubs visiting Daniel Lynch and the Royals, and gives quick reads on the Rockies at the Cardinals and the Orioles at the Rangers, a series carrying real American League wild card weight against Nathan Eovaldi. Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers traveling to face Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks brings out Griffin's long standing support for Kelly, who he calls himself a stan of, with the Dodgers bullpen still sorting out closer Edwin Diaz's role working in Arizona's favor. He closes his game by game breakdown with Robbie Ray's Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Astros, and a Rays and Mariners matchup between Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert that he calls arguably the best pitching matchup of the night. Before locking in his official pick, Griffin shares a Pregame dot com promo code, hit fifty, good for fifty dollars off Major League Baseball Second Half All Access, which runs through the World Series and drops from 349 dollars to 299 dollars through August 10. His official What I Bet best bet of the episode is the San Diego Padres at minus 120 over the Houston Astros, citing Robbie Ray's strong recent form, a deep Padres bullpen, and doubts about Houston's offense beyond Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena. Throughout the episode Griffin threads in bigger picture storylines, from the Mets continuing to mash without Juan Soto to Cleveland's fall from first place, the Twins facing fan backlash over a quiet deadline, and a wide open American League wild card race where the Yankees and Red Sox look closer to locking up spots than everyone else chasing the final berth. It is a full rundown built for bettors looking for value across every window of the night, from first pitch runs to first five totals to closing numbers, delivered with the same mix of numbers and opinion that has made the show a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors all season long, with new episodes covering every slate straight through the rest of the season and into the playoffs.

Hour 4 continues live from Dolphins training camp as Joe Rose and the crew discuss the Marlins preparing for their series against the Angels and debate just how dominant the Dodgers have been across Major League Baseball. Mike Florio joins the show to break down the Hall of Fame Game, Carson Beck's impressive NFL debut, Aaron Rodgers' comments about ESPN, and the respect Rodgers has shown for Mike Tomlin compared to new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy.

He promotes his strong R film Reunion 108 and his self-published book A Year in Pinstripes & Then Some, describing guerrilla-style filming and clubhouse humor. Sample outlines his baseball path from JMU and the Shenandoah Valley League to the Rangers, Yankees, and Braves, reflects on card-signing requests, teammates' personalities, playing with Rickey Henderson, facing Nolan Ryan, and recalls his favorite MLB moment: a walk-off home run against the Angels.00:00 Ugly Floor Epoxy Ad00:32 Show Intro and Guest Reveal02:27 Growing Up Poor in Virginia04:33 Minor League Grind and Famous Owners06:11 Roy Clark Almost Bats09:31 Celebrity Encounters and Awkward Interviews13:51 Reunion 108 Movie Talk16:37 Clubhouse Culture and Ball Four24:26 Path to the Majors32:37 Break and Baseball Card Signing35:57 Fan Letters and First MLB Games37:53 Stars in the Clubhouse39:32 Jesse Jackson Football40:22 Bruce Hornsby Connections41:25 Ray Signs Off42:26 First Big Purchase45:08 Reds Network Story48:20 Funniest Teammates55:38 Ricky Henderson Memories57:16 Facing Nolan Ryan01:00:55 Promoting Film Book01:09:42 Walkoff Home Run01:12:37 Farewell And Ads

The Los Angeles Dodgers' latest blockbuster has Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash admitting an uncomfortable truth: Yankees and Mets fans are jealous. Evan argues that New York's teams have the money and resources to operate like Andrew Friedman's machine, while Shaun says the Dodgers' growing dominance proves Major League Baseball's system is fundamentally broken. They clash over whether a salary cap would have prevented Los Angeles from landing Tarik Skubal, whether Rob Manfred benefits from the outrage, and whether anyone can stop the Dodgers from returning to the World Series. Plus, the Mets' disastrous Freddy Peralta trade gets a painful retrospective, Evan apologizes to Mike Hampton, and the Yankees' reported willingness to trade Will Warren for Adrian Morejon reveals how aggressively Brian Cashman pursued bullpen help.
