Podcasts about Marty Appel

Have you ever taken a good look at the player's facial hair when you watched a game of baseball? You might not realize it, but the topic of grooming in the major leagues is actually full of interesting tales. Just this year, managing partner Hal Steinbrenner of the New York Yankees (son of the legendary George Steinbrenner) released a statement that the team would amend its longstanding facial hair policy, adding another chapter to the saga. Marty Appel, former PR director for the Yankees, joined “Something Offbeat” to help us understand how it fits in to the history of the team and how it has approached grooming through different eras of fashion.

ML.B. Opening Day, baseball history, two great authors and two great books to celebrate America's National Pastime come together on TALKish, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when joining Halli, at bat first, Kevin Cook to talk about his book ELECTRIC OCTOBER, SEVEN WORLD SERIES GAMES, SIX LIVES, FIVE MINUTES OF FAME THAT LASTED FOREVER and up second New York Yankee's historian and former publicity director Marty Appel, author of the great biography CASEY STENGEL, BASEBALL'S GREATEST CHARACTER. Let's play ball. Kevin Cook's book ELECTRIC OCTOBER, SEVEN WORLD SERIES GAMES, SIX LIVES, FIVE MINUTES OF FAME THAT LASTED FOREVER takes us out to the ballgame. The year: 1947. The World Series "the most exciting ever" in the words of Joe DiMaggio, with a decade's worth of drama packed into seven games between the mighty New York Yankees and underdog Brooklyn Dodgers. The players: Six men who found themselves plucked from obscurity to shine on the sport's greatest stage. For some of these men, the '47 Series was a memory to hold on to. For others, it would haunt them to the end of their days. And for us, Kevin Cook offers insights—at once heartbreaking and uplifting—into what fame and heroism truly mean. Small-town boys, most of them, each one a hometown hero, they spent a week in the national spotlight and then faded away, forgotten. Yet Cook's deep reporting and lively narrative goes beyond baseball history to explore how an encounter with greatness can change a man's life forever. These six lives combine to tell a great American story of fame, friendship, teamwork, memory, and life's biggest challenge: how we deal with the cards that fate deals us. Kevin Cook is the author of the award-winning TOMMY'S HONOR (now a feature film). He is a former senior editor at Sports Illustrated who has written for The New York Times, Men's Journal, GQ, Playboy, Smithsonian, and Details.Casey Stengel once said that “There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them,” and indeed he did. There was nobody like Casey before him, and certainly there has been no one like him since, and no one defined baseball more than he did. For more than fifty years, Casey Stengel lived baseball. First as the only person in history to play for or manage all the New York teams, including the Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and Mets, and then as a manager, where he made his biggest mark on the game revolutionizing the role in New York and beyond, all while winning an astounding ten pennants and seven World Series Championships – including five consecutive titles with the Yankees. But who was Charles ‘Casey' Stengel? As the historian of the NY Yankees, no one is more qualified than Marty Appel to write, CASEY STENGEL: BASEBALL'S GREATEST CHARACTER the definitive biography. Marty Appel takes us back to the old ballgamel.M.L.B.

  As a player, Charles Dillon "Casey" Stengel's contemporaries included Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, and Christy Mathewson... and he was the only person in history to wear the uniforms of all four New York teams: the Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and Mets. For more than five glorious decades, Stengel was the undisputed, quirky, hilarious, and beloved face of baseball -- and along the way he revolutionized the role of manager while winning a spectacular ten pennants and seven World Series Championships. But for a man who spent so much of his life in the limelight -- an astounding fifty-five years in professional baseball -- Stengel remains an enigma.  Acclaimed baseball historian and bestselling author Marty Appel digs into Casey Stengel's quirks and foibles, unearthing a tremendous trove of baseball stories, perspective, and history.  Weaving in never-before-published family documents, Appel creates an intimate portrait of a private man and Hall of Famer. Marty Appel was the youngest public relations director in baseball history when George Steinbrenner elevated him to the New York Yankees post in 1973.  He worked for the team for ten seasons, beginning in 1968, and followed it by producing its games on WPIX television.  He is the author of twenty-three books, including the New York Times bestselling "Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain" and "Pinstripe Empire: The New York Yankees from Before the Babe to After the Boss." On an April evening in 2017, Marty Appel took us through the 20th century with "Casey Stengel: Baseball's Greatest Character."  A splendid, intimate Clubhouse conversation.  Pull up a chair and listen in...

In celebration of spring and Major League Baseball's opening day, it's take me out to the ballgame time on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when joining Halli at her table on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is New York Yankee's historian and former publicity director Marty Appel, author of the new biography CASEY STENGEL, BASEBALL'S GREATEST CHARACTER. And in our second half-hour we visit with the fascinating Eden Collinsworth who takes a look at a subject on everyone's mind today: morality. In what some people are calling The Age of IM-morality, author Eden Collinsworth has written BEHAVING BADLY: THE NEW MORALITY IN POLITICS, SEX, AND BUSINESS.Casey Stengel once said that “There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them,” and indeed he did. There was nobody like Casey before him, and certainly there has been no one like him since. For more than fifty years, Casey Stengel lived baseball. First as the only person in history to play for or manage all the New York teams, including the Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and Mets, and then as a manager, where he made his biggest mark on the game of Major League Baseball revolutionizing the role in New York and beyond, all while winning an astounding ten pennants and seven World Series Championships – including five consecutive titles with the Yankees.Another New York character is shaking things up in the world and we take a look at Donald Trump and more with author Eden Collinsworth who addresses the topic of morality in her new book BEHAVING BADLY: THE NEW MORALITY IN POLITICS, SEX, AND BUSINESS. To call these unsettling times is an understatement: our political leaders are less and less respectable; in the realm of business, cheating, lying, and stealing are hazily defined; and in daily life, rapidly changing technology offers permission to act in ways inconceivable without it. Some might say that we live in a time of a complete free-for-all. Eden Collinsworth argues that people still draw lines around what is acceptable and what is not. It's a fascinating conversation, not all serious. Hear what the founder of Ashley Madison, a web site for married people looking to have illicit affairs has to say on the subject.A look at two wholly American characters, Casey Stengel and Donald Trump, America's national pastime, sports, sex, politics, the New York Yankees on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show.

"My book is about the life of Charles Dillon Casey Stengel, one of the legendary names in baseball history. He was even selected by major league baseball network as the greatest character in the history of baseball. I wrote the book because it had been 33 years since a major biography had been done about him and the coming of the internet has provided a lot more information that was previously known."

Basebollkepsen bärs idag av allt från knegare till kungligheter världen över. Utan att överdriva det minsta kan man påstå att den amerikanska basebollkepsen har gjort ett globalt segertåg, som bara rullar fortare och fortare. Idag är den i år 60-årsfirande basebollkepsen överallt förekommande. Hur det kommer sig att just baseboll (vars proffssäsong Major League Baseball just har börjat, för övrigt) kom att skapa en trendledande kepa berättar vi mer om i veckans STIL. Frågan är om det idag finns ett land där en stor del av befolkningen inte har en basebollkeps fastskruvad på huvudet. Troligen inte. Den amerikanska basebollkepsen har hängivet anammats ungefär som amerikanska jeans, och populariteten ser inte ut att minska tvärtom. Just nu upplever vi en sorts kepsboom, inte minst i Sverige. Här traskar vi gärna omkring i kepsar med New York Yankees välkända logotyp med N:et och Y:et som överlappar varandra, trots att vi inte har en susning om själva laget, eller spelet. Den är ju så snygg, tycker vi. Om hur denna logotyp kom till berättar Marty Appel, som är författare och PR-konsult inom sportbranschen. Han har skrivit runt 20 böcker om baseboll och även arbetat som PR-chef för NY Yankees under 1970-talet.   Det var först 1954 som alla lag i Major League Baseball enades om att bära den än idag rådande grundmodellen, även kallad ”59 Fifty”. Kepsens popularitet har många anledningar, bland annat har olika hiphopartister sett till att den blivit cool. Det anser idag även modehusen som tidigare fnyst lite åt kepsen, men idag finns den representerad hos många märken. Den trendskapande artisten Rhianna är väl den som bäst har lyckats slå en brygga mellan musik- och modekepsen. Hon ses ofta i en, åter igen, trendriktig så kallad ”snapback”. Men går man lite längre tillbaka i tiden så var det faktiskt – kanske lite otippat – skådespelaren Tom Selleck som började bryta keps-isen genom sin roll som privatdeckaren Magnum P.I. Mer om det i programmet. Där tar vi också en titt på fenomenet ”sportens front row”, det vill säga filmstjärnor musikartister och tv-programledare som sitter längst fram på matcher iklädda kepsar och hejar på sina lag. Kanske borde detta utvecklas i Sverige? Det anser i alla fall somliga. Veckans gäst är Jacob Wictorén som är brand manager för New Era som är världsledande inom basebollkepsar.
