Send us a textA Hall of Fame coach with 500+ wins doesn't hang around by accident. Coach Mike Shade of Gahanna Lincoln High School (OH) opens the dugout door to 41 years of lessons: why relationships anchor a program, how practice—not pep talks—decides results, and what “all in” really means for player standards, culture, and accountability. We trace his journey from early assistant days to a sustained run in the OCC's gauntlet, where weekly battles sharpen teams for the state tournament.We dig into his non-negotiables—character, effort, and being a great teammate—and how he delivers tough feedback without leaving players in the doghouse. Mike shares how the game has evolved around travel ball and shifting norms, yet still revolves around three outs, three strikes, and a pre‑pitch plan. You'll hear why he respects umpires who hustle and prepare, and how empowering energetic assistants keeps a veteran staff fresh. Off the field, a simple tradition—his wife's annual senior pasta dinner—reveals how small, consistent acts turn a roster into a family.The stories are the heart: an unforgettable 3–2, bases‑loaded walk‑off that still gives chills, Evan White's first-base artistry that later earned a Gold Glove, and the all-time trio he'd choose to ride with—Bench behind the plate, Gibson or Koufax on the hill, and Mickey Mantle in the box. If you coach, play, or simply love baseball, you'll leave with a blueprint for sustainable success: teach clean fundamentals, correct fast and lift faster, respect the craft, and trust your people when the season shrinks to a single pitch.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a coach or parent who cares about culture, and leave a quick review so more baseball people can find us.Join the Baseball Coaches Unplugged podcast where an experienced baseball coach delves into the world of high school and travel baseball, offering insights on high school baseball coaching, leadership skills, hitting skills, pitching strategy, defensive skills, and overall baseball strategy, while also covering high school and college baseball, recruiting tips, youth and travel baseball, and fostering a winning mentality and attitude in baseball players through strong baseball leadership and mentality.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

When Brian was preparing to head off to college, his dad asked him what he wanted to do with his life. Without hesitation, Brian said, “I want to play ball.” His dad looked him straight in the eye and replied, “Son, you're not Mickey Mantle. What are you going to do with your life?” Brian's dad had started in the mailroom at IBM and worked his way up to installing SAP systems worldwide, often away from home. The moments Brian cherished most with him were simple-going to nurseries together, spreading mulch, and working in the yard. Those experiences inspired Brian to pursue landscape horticulture at NC State. On his very first day of class, a professor told students, “Starting salary: $17,500. If you're here for money, there's the door.” Brian thought, that's $17,500 more than I have - let's go. The summer before graduation, Brian worked in Wilmington under a boss known for yelling and belittling his crew. Deflated, he returned to campus, questioning his future. A friend suggested, “Why don't you start your own business?” Brian remembered an RFP project in Professor Stu Warren's class, where he created a mock company—named Yardnique. It was the best grade Brian ever received in landscape horticulture, and Professor Warren's feedback was simple but powerful: “Great name.” At 21, Brian turned that project into reality. With nothing more than a stack of flyers and a mission to treat others the way you want to be treated, he launched Yardnique, envisioning just five employees. As the company grew, Brian was honored in 2012 with the Triangle Business Journal's 40 Under 40 Award, recognizing Yardnique's early impact. Today, nearly 29 years later, Yardnique operates over 42 locations with 2,500 employees across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Brian's journey began with a question from his dad, and has become a lifelong mission of building teams, impacting lives, and leading with purpose.

This week we discuss modern pitching and modern hitting and what the problem seems to be? Is it time to just pack in baseball if hitting is "too difficult" or do the hitters need to adjust their approach?For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss "Merkle's Boner" in 1908. Was it right call and was it fair for all of the grief to be given to Merkle over this incident.Our Hall of Famer this week is pitcher George Kelly. We have yet another friend of Frankie Frisch on the docket, but was he more deserving than any of the other members of the Triple F club?In our singlular parting shot this week discuss the announced impending retirement of Clayton Kershaw and how we won't see another pitching quite as good as him.Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials all featuring Mickey Mantle for Brylcream, MP-27 athlete's foot spray, and a new lottery scracter.Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small.

Babe Ruth backs the attack as Babe Ruth gets married, but to a guy named H.C., not a former model named Claire. Cal Raleigh goes on a rampage and Mickey Mantle finishes 1961 quietly, but why did the latter happen and what can we learn from the way he and Billy Martin lived their lives? The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

The Big Dumper passes Mickey Mantle and ties Ken Griffey Jr.

   As we close in on five years of KKHI I can honestly say I've never seen a reaction from listeners like the past week. Everyone is upset and motivated after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and we all want to do something. It's inspiring for sure.  It's been mostly good news of people on the left losing their jobs after saying horrible things about this tragedy.   But KU is standing by the employee that referred to Kirk as "worm food."  This can't stand.  Let's get busy and call 785.864.2700 or email publicaffairs@ku.edu and let them know how you feel.      Mizzou and Starbucks get it right by having the exact same policy.  We should consider it a win and not complain about it.    Media reports indicate Xavier Worthy is likely to play Sunday night in NY against the Giants.  If he does, it appears he will be playing with a torn labrum.    It was a record night at Kauffman Stadium for Seattle's "Big Dumper."   He broke a record set by Mickey Mantle.  KC's Carter Jensen also had a huge night and this sure bodes well for the future.    A single cocktail at the US Open made them enough money to pay the first place prizes for the men's and women's singles champs.  Wait until you hear how much one drink made.  And our Final Final is a celebrity that truly needs help with his TDS.

Joe Ostrowski and Sam Panayotovich react to Cal Raleigh's historic moment last night, tieing Mickey Mantle and then leaping Ken Griffey Jr. for the most Home Runs ever in a single season by a switch hitter. Plus, what to make of more of the latest Quarterback injury news, with five Signal Caller's status in jeopardy for Week #3. Then, former NFL Pro Nate Collins of the Green Light Podcast stops by, to talk all things NFL, including his thoughts on the Tush Push and why, just how long will Russell Wilson be able to keep the Giants starting Quarterback job, and why are favorites continuing to have so much success? The hour wraps with more regarding the Tush Push and discuss just how vital it is to the Eagles success. Plus, what exactly the defending Super Bowl Champions would look like if the play was banned, following it being used in over 10% of their plays in Week #2.

Joe Ostrowski and Sam Panayotovich react to Cal Raleigh making history last night by tying Mickey Mantle and then leaping Ken Griffey Jr. for the most Home Runs ever in a single season by a switch hitter. Plus, what to make of more of the latest Quarterback injury news, with at least five starters status in jeopardy for Week #3.

There are many eye-catching storylines from the 2025 MLB season, but one that remains a captivating tale as we approach the postseason is the historic run by the man simply known as “Big Dumper.” On Tuesday night, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh set a new single-season record for most home runs hit by a switch hitter, surpassing the immortal Mickey Mantle with 56 on the year. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss Cal's unbelievable campaign, how he's managed to do this while serving as the team's primary catcher and why he's now a serious contender alongside New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in the tight race for the 2025 American League Most Valuable Player award.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about an impressive debut from Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage and why he could be an integral part of their push for the AL East title. They also discuss Shohei Ohtani entering yet another exclusive and impressive club on Tuesday night, and debate whether he and Bryce Harper are the two most important players of this century.1:18 – The Opener: Cal Raleigh does it again16:01 – Trey Yesavage's immediate impact25:31 – An oops by the Brewers32:26 – Harper & Ohtani's importance46:44 – Around the League: 50-50, injuries58:33 – Roberto Clemente Award nominees Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

CAM CLEELAND (Learfield Washington Color analyst) It's Apple Cup week and it just doesn't feel the same anymore, but the Dawgs haven't won on the road under Jedd Fisch and they need to get one this weekend in Pullman. How important is it for the Dawgs to get this win and how confident is Cam that Dawgs will get it done? Whoopsies, some Oregon hate seeps in! :30- ANGIE MENTINK (Root Sports) joins the show to help us celebrate Calloween! :45- Is the future of the tush push on the rocks?

Happy Cal-O-Ween! Cal Raleigh hit two more home runs to tie Griffey for the most by a Mariner in a single season and more importantly, the team got their 10th win in a row. Yes, they won on the road! :30- The year of Cal continues, but Cal wasn't the only one lighting it up in Kansas City; Dom Canzone hit 3 home runs of his own as the Mariners came away with a 12-5 win. :45- It's humpday, so we forget all about what happened last Sunday and look ahead to the Seahawks and Saints.

We are witnessing a season to remember and the only proper way to celebrate it is to acknowledge Cal-O-Ween. The Mariners are playing good baseball, they aren't just winning on good pitching or high scoring offense, they're finding a way to do it all and if they can keep it up, they'll go far. Of course, the question remains, can they keep it up? No matter how well we've done over these last 10 games, we are still only a half game up on the Astros, so theirs is no room for error. :30- There's been a lot of chatter about the play of Demond Williams Jr and Jonah Coleman, but is it too early to start hyping up postseason awards for the Dawgs? The real test is still a week and a half away against Ohio State. :45- We close out this humpday with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 11: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Jayvee Vance has got to resign as Vice President. Relax; he won't. But you cannot BE Vice President of the United States if you're crazy enough to boast about repurposing the military as a War Crime committing death squad killing probable migrants in international waters. Plus if you’re responding to tweets by the Krassensteins you’re clearly insane and unfit for office. Even under Trump.. MEANWHILE: if Trump was an FBI informant against Jeffrey Epstein that means he was a witness to everything Epstein did with those girls? And yes, Mike Johnson tried to "back off" his claim that Trump was an FBI Epstein agent late Sunday, but a) the "back off" came 72 hours after he blurted it out; b) it still implies that Trump knew about Epstein and went to the authorities about it, suggesting he had first-hand evidence like HE WAS THERE, and c) it is a cardinal tenet of QAnon that if Trump is ON the Epstein client list. "He did it for 'Merica!" might not be the flex Trump and Mike Johnson think it is ALSO: Trump was booed as he arrived at the U.S. Tennis Open yesterday. You didn’t see it because Bob Iger and ABC and Disney whored themselves out pre-censoring the truth. CBS just did that too - and worse, agreeing NOT to edit out any lies by Trump Gang members. THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE WITCH-HUNT? The mortgage app alleged white lie with which Trump hopes to bring down a Fed governor and Letitia James and Adam Schiff? The nut job releasing the alleged evidence is Bill Pulte and guess what public records show HIS OWN PARENTS DID? They ALSO CLAIMED multiple "primary residences" - and you can only have one. Oops. THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS: per G. Elliott Morris: mainstream Trump polling is flat, unchanged. But the INTERIOR numbers? Since January Trump’s STRONG approval number - the diehards - has dropped from 34% to 24%. That's down a third. And his STRONG disapproval number - the haters - has grown from 36% to 46%. Also a third. That is unsustainable. B-Block (41:53) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: "Gunther Eagleman" and the other similarly stupidly named Right Wing influencers now alleged to be on yet ANOTHER country's payroll. Plus the man who killed CNN John Malone may have inadvertently outed a racist: himself. And And a CBS correspondent named Robert Costa let Trump pee on his leg about Russia and all he did was report: “CBS Exclusive: Trump Exclusively Peed On MY leg!” C-Block (55:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: They're going to use A.I. to try to reconstruct the infamous 43 missing minutes in the classic - possible greatest film of all time - "Magnificent Ambersons." I loathe the concept. I will watch the product as many times as they let me! But of more immediate relevance, if they ever release it, I'll be able to say I knew the star of a new 2025 film who died in 1994 and I met in 1985 only I didn't realize it was him. I swear I thought she said "Carlton." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Few writers have illuminated baseball's legends with the depth, rigor, and heart of renowned sports journalist and author Jane Leavy.  From Sandy Koufax to Mickey Mantle to Babe Ruth, her biographies of the game's greatest figures don't just recount their lives — they reveal the eras each helped to define. Now, with her new book Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It, Leavy turns her sharp eye and seasoned reporting toward the sport itself, asking what's broken, what's worth preserving, and how its lost magic might be restored. In this episode, we sit down with Leavy for a wide-ranging conversation that blends her unparalleled knowledge of baseball history with a candid assessment of its present challenges — analytics overload, youth development crises, dwindling diversity, and the struggle to balance spectacle with spontaneity. She also shares her imaginative, sometimes provocative, ideas for how the game could evolve in the years ahead.
