Podcasts about Mickey Mantle

Should the next generation of collectors want the same cards we do? Chris McGill brings a fascinating question to the panel: when new collectors enter the hobby, should they buy into the hierarchy of cards, players and grails that previous generations have established, or should they use their fresh perspective to discover entirely new collecting lanes? Jeremy, David Chase, Joe Poirot and Joshua Adams dig into what that means in a hobby where many of the cards longtime collectors grew up chasing have become extraordinarily expensive. Are newcomers really best served spending huge amounts of money chasing the same Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Mickey Mantle and other established grails everyone already knows? Or are there overlooked players, sets, inserts, eras and cards sitting right in front of us simply because the existing hobby establishment hasn't decided they matter yet? The panel discusses herd mentality, questioning conventional hobby wisdom, the importance of understanding why certain cards became iconic and the difference between teaching someone WHAT to collect and teaching them HOW to think about collecting. Jeremy argues that your approach may ultimately depend on where you fall on the Hobby Spectrum. Someone primarily interested in making money may be better served understanding and participating in established markets, while a collector has considerably more freedom to explore, experiment and build something completely unique. The conversation also explores whether the collecting experience many longtime hobbyists enjoyed growing up can even be recreated today. Packs are different. Prices are different. Information is everywhere. Market data is instantaneous. And newcomers arrive in a hobby with far more infrastructure, money and established narratives than previous generations ever encountered. So maybe the goal isn't to recreate the old hobby. Maybe it's helping the next generation find its own. Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

How certain can anyone really be that an autograph is authentic? Steve Grad joins Jeremy and David Chase for a fascinating deep dive into autograph authentication, beginning with one of the most controversial signed cards currently in the hobby: the 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle that PSA has authenticated and Steve believes was NOT signed by Mickey Mantle. Steve explains why he believes the signature is secretarial or clubhouse signed, walks through the exemplars and signing tendencies he uses to reach that conclusion, and discusses what it's like to publicly disagree with another major authenticator when hundreds of thousands of dollars may be at stake. But how certain is an autograph authenticator? Steve explains when instinct enters the equation, when an authenticator should simply "punt" on an autograph, and even recalls reversing one of his own authentication decisions after going back and doing more research. The conversation then turns to another potentially enormous issue: signed 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson cards. Of the nine known examples discussed on the show, Steve says he has seen five that he believes are not authentic. They also discuss increasingly sophisticated forgery techniques, autopens, aging ink, whether autograph grades should have expiration dates and why an autograph sitting inside a slab can still change dramatically over time. Then things get considerably more entertaining. Years ago, David bought a collection of celebrity autographs on eBay, each accompanied by a letter of authenticity. He sends them to Steve for his verdict live on the show. Michael Jackson. Aerosmith. The Sopranos. The Goonies. Michael J. Fox and more. The verdict isn't pretty. Meanwhile, Jeremy puts his own three vintage hockey autographs in front of Steve, including Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman, with dramatically different results. Finally, Steve explains why education remains a collector's greatest protection. Learn the signature. Learn the signing habits. Learn the known secretarial and clubhouse versions. And never assume that simply because an autograph is already inside a slab, the question has been settled. Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we reflect on how baseball helped this country heal. Tim Kurkjian has some incredible stories and perspective on what the game meant to a very scared America in September of 2001. The Yankees have done something for 34 straight years, meaning Jeff has never known any differently as a 33-year-old. That streak has only been topped by THE YANKEES, of course. Plus, Kyle Schwarber loves saving the day in a 1-0 win. And then there's Nate Lavender, who is the inspiration behind our Team Tim this week. On This Date in Baseball History, we hear about the Alou brothers and their improbable inning. Lou Brock gets a SECOND mention on the show. And you know Tim has the best stories, including one that may be as hot as lightning. (You will get it when you hear it.) Alphabest brings us to the best last-name players beginning with "Y" in Major League Baseball history. Would we say these are obvious? Maybe! But nonetheless, they could stack up as one of the best combos we've seen all season on Alphabest! Three Cards brings us some fascinating stories, including one about Mickey Mantle. Plus, the Tim Hudson games that Tim Kurkjian has attended have a chance of going a LONG time, that's for sure. We wrap up with the aforementioned Team Tim for another great episode.

Bildungsroman at its best! The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt transports us to Long Island, NY back to 1967. Readers meet Holling Hoodhood, a seventh grader stuck with spending Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while the rest of his class goes to religious classes at their prospective churches. Holling is positive his teacher hates him. This book throws a wide loop. There's several Shakespeare plays, Mickey Mantle signing baseballs, cream puffs, a snowstorm, disengaged parents, cross country, the Vietnam War is in the background along with rats, yes, rats!Holling's dad is image focused, how he and his architect company are perceived by the town is all he thinks about. When Holling's sister leaves home the father is unconcerned!  He might be an awesome architect but he is a lousy father with a capital L.Let's jump into The Wednesday Wars! Thanks so much for listening! Let's connect to reflect!Blessings!

The non-sports card market has gone absolutely nuclear. Jeremy Lee and David Chase dig into the explosion in vintage Mickey Mouse, Disney, Marvel and other non-sports cards, including the stunning rise of the 1931 Wills Mickey Mouse card and just how quickly collectors are being priced out of cards that were attainable only weeks ago. Is this simply hype and FOMO spreading into another corner of the hobby, or are collectors beginning to recognize something much bigger? Jeremy and David discuss the enormous cultural reach of characters like Mickey Mouse, Superman and Spider-Man, and an intriguing question about long-term collectibility: fictional characters can continually be reinvented for new generations, while legendary athletes like Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Babe Ruth cannot. They also look at whether rising sports-card prices are actually helping drive collectors toward non-sports, what happens when population reports eventually increase, why comps are changing so quickly, and whether the current frenzy is sustainable or due for a pullback. And perhaps most importantly, this isn't only a non-sports boom. Prices are moving aggressively across the hobby.

Episode 357 features author Rob Weir, who discusses his book 7 Swings at 7: Mickey Mantle — Legend and Victim of American Culture and takes us behind the myth of one of baseball's most iconic figures. We also revisit our memorable interview with barbecue legends Moe Cason and Bob Trudnak. Rob Weir holds a PhD in American social history and is a retired University of Massachusetts Amherst professor.  He is the author of the book, 7 Swings at 7: Mickey Mantle - Legend and Victim of American Culture.  Weir's lifelong fascination with Mantle began when he was five years old. That personal connection, combined with his academic training, provides the foundation for 7 Swings at 7 and his exploration of why Mickey Mantle continues to fascinate generations of baseball fans. Mickey Mantle remains one of the most fascinating and complicated figures in baseball history. He was a Yankees superstar, a three-time MVP, a seven-time World Series champion, and one of the most celebrated athletes of the 1950s and 1960s. But behind the legendary home runs, incredible speed, and larger-than-life image was a man whose life was shaped by injuries, expectations, personal struggles, and the enormous cultural forces surrounding him. Moe Cason AKA Big Moe is an award winning pitmaster who has toiled for many years creating his well respected brand, Moe Cason Barbeque and his instantly recognizable, Big Moe persona.  Moe is a television personality, cookbook author, and a Navy veteran.  He has been featured in national television segments, including Steve Harvey's and Harry Connick Jr.'s talk shows and had his own segment on NatGeo's World of Flavor.  For more information on Big Moe Cason and to purchase his products go to  https://moecasonbbq.com/ Bob Trudnak has loved barbecue since the age of seven, when his dad placed him "in charge" of putting charcoal in the grill and from that day forward he was hooked.  In 1999, Bob helped co-found the company, BBQ Guru.  He is an award winning competive pitmaster.  Beyond competitions, he is a renowned judge and instructor, having hosted hundreds of in-person and virtual barbecue classes.  He is the creator of BBQ Bob's Sauces and BobbyT's Pizza Products.  His latest accomplishment is winning season seven of BBQ Brawl on the Food Network to become the Master of 'Cue.  For more information on Bob Trudnak go to https://bobtrudnakbbq.com/ We recommend you go to Rogue Cookers website, https://roguecookers.com/ for award-winning rubs, Chef Ray Sheehan's website, https://www.raysheehan.com/ for award-winning saucess, rubs, and cookbooks, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, Magnechef https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves,  Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ To team up against prostate cancer go to https://fansforthecure.org/ for Fans for the Cure, and to subscribe to Bill Chuck's newsletter, Billy-Ball go to  https://billchuck.substack.com/    We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

An unlikely baseball superstar, Mickey Mantle was raised in a mining family in northeastern Oklahoma. His father started training him to be an elite baseball player from a young age, and he eventually joined the prestigious New York Yankees. Despite injuries and personal demons, he became one of baseball's all-time best players, amassing 536 home runs and seven World Series wins. In this episode, Trait Thompson and Dr. Bob Blackburn discuss Mantle's life and legacy. Their guest is Alex Freedman, director of communications and broadcasting for the Oklahoma City Comets.

How do you REALLY know an autograph is authentic? In the sixth and final part of our marathon Sports Cards Live conversation, we tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions in collecting: How much faith should we place in autograph authentication? The discussion centers around the 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle owned by "Uncle Barry," a card he has owned for roughly 70 years and believes was personally signed by Mantle. PSA authenticated the autograph and has stood behind that opinion, but longtime autograph expert and former PSA authenticator Steve Grad recently presented a detailed case questioning whether the signature is actually Mantle's. So who's right? We discuss why autograph authentication may ultimately always be an opinion, how much confidence collectors should place in third-party authentication, and whether a signature can ever truly be considered 100% authentic unless somebody actually witnessed it being signed. David Chase then proposes a fascinating alternative: What if AI could analyze enormous databases of known exemplars and assign an autograph a confidence rating instead of simply declaring it authentic or not authentic? Would you rather know that an autograph has an 87% probability of being authentic than receive a binary opinion from a human authenticator? We also discuss witnessed autographs, the possibility of sophisticated forgeries already existing in slabs, altered and counterfeit cards, and a larger reality collectors may need to accept: no system involving human judgment is going to have a zero percent error rate. Earlier, we continue our spirited discussion about market manipulation, personal responsibility and buyer beware. If an influencer talks about a card and you rush out to buy it, how much responsibility belongs to the influencer and how much belongs to you? We also revisit manufactured rarity, the difference between total population and the actual "float" available to collectors, whether the word "grail" has lost its original meaning, and why greater affordability might actually be healthier for the hobby over the long term. Finally, we close our post-National marathon by looking ahead to what Jeff Hart calls the beginning of a new hobby year and reflecting on why, regardless of prices, markets, grading companies or slabs, we're still collectors first. As one viewer perfectly put it: "Collect because you love the cards. Let the value be the consequence, not the purpose." Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

Tim and Jeff are excited for the Field of Dreams game, mostly because they absolutely love that movie. But is it “have a catch” or “play catch”? Man, this might drive everyone crazy. We’re hoping to have Kevin Costner on the show to explain how that iconic line came about. The play from the Red Sox game has everyone talking—and SO CONFUSED! Tim Kurkjian just can’t get over the fact that the mental side of the game isn’t as important as it used to be. Jacob Wilson has set a record, Cal Raleigh has been struggling (poor guy), and The Mix might still be the most exciting pitcher in baseball. WOAH. The Quirkjians are led by Kody Clemens, and we know a little something about fathers and sons on this show. Plus, the Dodgers’ pitching is just kind of crazy when you really think about it. And finally, a matchup that actually got Tim some pop culture points! On This Date starts with a smile and leads us right into Mickey Mantle. And that’s what our Team Tim is all about this week: the greatest Mickeys ever to play the game of baseball. Alphabest features last names starting with U, which proves to be quite the challenge. We wrap things up with Three Cards, where Tim has taken cards from his baseball-themed bathroom and riffs stories from them!

Jesse Jackson welcomes retired Dallas TV legend Dale Hansen to talk about the passions that shaped his life, from covering decades of Cowboys highs and lows to the power of music and live performance. Dale shares how radio and early rock 'n' roll sparked his love of storytelling, why Rod Stewart is his all-time favorite, and what made Springsteen's Austin show and the E Street Band—especially Max Weinberg—so unforgettable. The conversation also turns to journalism, politics, and polarization, including Dale's 2019 message about speaking truth to power and how media and institutions are changing. Along the way, Dale tells memorable stories about Elvis, Tom Landry, Troy Aikman, Mickey Mantle, and the origins of his iconic “Thank God for Kids.” https://www.youtube.com/@DallasDialoguewithDale 00:00 Patreon Thanks 01:37 Meet Dale Hansen 03:38 Cowboys Fandom Stories 04:53 Sports as Theater 06:38 Local TV Changing 07:41 Journalism Truth to Power 11:21 Early Music and Radio 12:39 Disc Jockey Origins 14:42 Eclectic Tastes and Bruce 16:39 Austin Show Behind Stage 19:52 Elvis and Waylon Tales 26:00 Rod Stewart Fan Moment 29:55 First Springsteen Concert 32:45 Politics and Divides 35:57 Separating Art and Politics 37:16 Bruce Politics Debate 38:34 Fox News Bubble 39:02 Dinner Party Reality Check 40:38 Face to Face Arguments 44:25 Artists and Speaking Out 45:05 Concert Costs and Parking 46:51 Turn the Dial Critics 50:10 Beating Verne Lundquist 53:52 Starstruck Encounters 57:25 Super Bowl Lucky Life 01:00:54 Springsteen Concert Stories 01:04:54 Thank God For Kids Legacy 01:09:30 Landry Superman and Roasts 01:13:05 Podcast Plugs and Farewell 01:15:09 Housekeeping and Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Podcast, host Zach Burke takes a journey back in time to celebrate one of the most dominant, elegant, and classy sprinters to ever step onto a track—1960 TSHOF inductee Bobby Morrow! Joining the show is Ron Hadfield, who brings his rich perspective as the editor emeritus, senior writer, and university historian for Abilene Christian University.Ron frames the conversation by looking ahead to the upcoming 70th anniversary of the 1956 Summer Olympic Games in Melbourne, where Morrow captured worldwide fame by winning three gold medals. We explore Bobby's humble beginnings as the son of a cotton and carrot farmer in San Benito, Texas, where his father Floyd used to help the local high school coach prepare the dirt and cinder tracks. Ron shares how Bobby's blinding speed was first discovered on the high school football field, leading him to state titles and catching the attention of top track programs nationwide—ultimately choosing Abilene Christian over the University of Texas to stay close to his family, his faith, and legendary sprint coach Oliver Jackson.The conversation dives deep into the mind-boggling dominance of Bobby's collegiate career, where he compiled a staggering 80 wins against just 8 losses, including a flawless 37-0 streak in the 100 meters. We revisit the magic of 1956, the first summer games televised live into homes, where Morrow beat out the likes of Mickey Mantle, Don Larsen, and the Heisman Trophy winner to be named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Ron shares a wonderful testament to Bobby's innate humility, highlighting a classic quote from when he was named one of the "Nine Greatest Living Americans" alongside Norman Rockwell and Cecil B. DeMille, bashfully stating he just couldn't believe all of this came from his mom giving him two fast legs.Finally, Ron pulls back the curtain on the heartbreak of the 1960 Rome Olympics. After graduating in 1958, Bobby had to train and travel entirely on his own, and a poorly timed injury during the Olympic trials left him off the roster. Yet, in a testament to his class, Morrow still trained with the team, regularly out-sprinted the qualifiers in practice, and handled the ultimate rejection at the airport with pure grace. We wrap up by reflecting on the massive, lasting footprint Morrow left on ACU—a legacy that helped the program secure Texas Monthly's title of the "Texas Sports Dynasty of the 20th Century."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most people plan their retirement like they control the date. The data says they don't. A new Society of Actuaries study found that 59% of retirees stopped working earlier than expected -- and for most of them, the decision wasn't theirs. Health setbacks, job loss, caregiving demands, and plain old job dissatisfaction all showed up before the spreadsheet said it was time. Joe and OG dig into what the numbers actually mean, who's most at risk, and the specific steps that create real flexibility before retirement finds you.

But you do get to choose how prepared you are for the day it arrives.

Robert C. Cottrell is a writer with eclectic interests.  Robert has written numerous books on topics ranging from American radicalism, the 1960s, and the counterculture to baseball, WWII-era conscientious objectors, and popular culture.  His most recent work, The Heyday of Willie, Duke, and Mickey: New York City Baseball's Golden Age Amid Integration, involves a dissection of the ascent and descent of the New York baseball dynasty, with a close look at the New York Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the New York Yankees. That also involves an emphasis on those teams' star center fielders, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, and Mickey Mantle, as well as the shift of the Giants and the Dodgers to the West Coast. Woven throughout the book is an analysis of America race relations within and beyond the national pastime.

John Steinbeck called it “The Mother Road.” Songwriter Bobby Troup said it was where to go to get your kicks. Mickey Mantle swore, “If it hadn't been for Highway 66 I never would have been a Yankee.”The Kitchen Sisters spent the summer of 1984 traveling every inch of this storied highway — “The Main Street of America” — as it was closing, recording just about everything that moved between Chicago and LA and made a series of epic radio documentaries to commemorate the legendary road and what it meant to the nation. If I remember right we paid about $1.20 a gallon as we motored east to west.In the summer of 1985 the road was officially removed from the United States Highway system and NPR's All Things Considered aired our series of stories about the life and history of Route 66 filled with interviews with dozens and dozens of Americans whose lives intersected with The Mother Road, along with field recordings, archival audio, music and sound.As Route 66 turns 100 we dipped into our archive to share these poignant and lively time capsules for your next road trip and your summer listening pleasure.Our narrator is actor David Selby.

What is the number one mistake collectors make when sending cards to PSA? In this exclusive interview inside the Arena Club Studio at Cards HQ, I sit down with PSA Executive Chris Carlin to demystify the grading process and give you a massive advantage on your next submission. Whether you are grading high-end vintage sports cards or ultramodern TCG, understanding how PSA operates behind the scenes is crucial for maximizing your card's value. Chris breaks down the internal workings of the grading room, the psychology behind population reports, and the specific things graders look for that most collectors completely miss. We also tackle the hobby's most controversial topics head-on, from upcharges and grading consistency to the highly debated "crack and resubmit" culture. In this episode, we cover: The Biggest Grading Mistake: Why overlooking a card's surface (shim lines, thumbnail prints, and hidden creases) is the easiest way to ruin your chances of a PSA 10. Pop Reports & Counterfeits: The truth behind population report scarcity versus real market demand, plus the alarming rise of highly sophisticated fake Pokmon booster boxes and forged Mickey Mantle autographs. Cracking & Resubmitting: Is cracking a PSA 9 to chase a PSA 10 actually worth the risk? We discuss the psychology of the "crack out" game and when to use PSA's Review Service instead. Upcharges & Consistency: Why PSA issues price adjustments, the power of their comprehensive grade guarantee, and how they train graders for six months to maintain consistency while processing 100,000 cards a day. The Future of the Hobby: How eBay integration and the Set Registry are evolving, plus why alternative assets like graded Sports Illustrated magazines, comic books, and One Piece TCG are exploding in popularity. Rare Hobby History: Chris shares incredible authenticated pieces from his personal collection, including a 1976 Topps player contract and an iconic internal memo from Upper Deck's founder.

On this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, we dive deep into one of baseball's most controversial and misunderstood stories—Roger Maris and his historic chase for 61 home runs. Why was a man breaking one of the most legendary records in sports actually hated for it? Kenny breaks down the truth behind Maris' 1961 season with the New York Yankees, the pressure of chasing Babe Ruth's iconic record, and how fans, media, and even baseball itself turned against him. From the infamous “asterisk” controversy to the nonstop comparisons with Mickey Mantle, this episode uncovers how Maris became one of the most unfairly treated athletes in sports history—despite accomplishing something truly legendary. If you think breaking records earns respect, think again. This is the real story behind 61—and why Roger Maris paid the price for greatness.

Aaron Judge surpassing Mickey Mantle in multi home run games raises a bigger question about how production is distributed. The conversation digs into whether Judge's power comes in streaks, how different eras impact results, and why the numbers don't quite add up at first glance despite both players being all time greats. They explore possible explanations ranging from bullpen usage to consistency, while also realizing just how insane Judge's long term home run pace could become. What starts as a simple stat turns into a deeper debate about how players accumulate greatness, and whether Judge's career trajectory could put him in truly historic territory.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber cover a packed show that starts with a wild Yankees stat and quickly turns into a bigger debate about greatness, consistency, and how Aaron Judge stacking up against Mickey Mantle changes the way fans think about power hitters. From there, the conversation shifts into football with a lively breakdown of whether the Jets should trade up for Carnell Tate, how the Giants could factor into that decision, and what smart team building really looks like heading into the draft. The episode also dives into growing Mets frustration, from Francisco Lindor concerns to bigger questions about David Stearns, Carlos Mendoza, and whether this offense is already becoming a serious problem. Along the way, Evan and Tiki mix in sharp reactions, fan calls, and the kind of sports talk chaos that makes this segment feel big, opinionated, and fun from start to finish.

Infinite Inning 369: An Odd Cardinals Walk-Off or a Typical Cubs Loss?First we ask an evergreen question prompted by Konnor Griffin's promotion: Were Casey Stengel's expectations of Mickey Mantle unfair? Then we visit 1949 for one of the more unusual walk-off hits in Cardinals history and the popular player whose momentary lack of awareness allowed it to happen—and find ourselves questioning the way we live. 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 conversation dives into whether Yankees fans have become too quick to boo, sparked by a debated moment involving Cal Raleigh and the perception of crowd reactions. What actually counts as booing and are fans today more critical than ever, or is it just part of the modern sports experience? Evan and Tiki explore how fan behavior has evolved over generations, comparing today's high priced, high expectation environment to the past when legends like Mickey Mantle were treated differently. They also break down early season overreactions, player struggles, and the fine line between passion and impatience in one of sports' most demanding markets.
