In part four of the Sports Cards Live stream from Saturday, August 23, 2025, the Jordan–Kobe Dual Logoman Exquisite Autograph surges past the $10 million mark live on air, ultimately climbing toward its record-breaking $12M+ finish. Jeremy, Brent Weyer, and Chris McGill track the drama in real time, unpacking what the sale means for grading, rarity, and the psychology of high-stakes bidding. The discussion ranges from the legitimacy of “manufactured rarity” to whether grade even matters for a one-of-one grail. The panel also wrestles with a central hobby question: if Michael Jordan is clearly No. 1, who is No. 2? Names like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tom Brady are all debated as the community weighs legacy, market caps, and cultural impact. Highlights include: The Jordan–Kobe Logoman breaking into 8-figure territory live on Sports Cards Live Manufactured rarity vs. organic rarity in the hobby Does grade matter at all for one-of-ones? Ego, status, and trophy bidding in high-end auctions The debate over who ranks No. 2 after Michael Jordan — Mantle, Ruth, LeBron, Kobe, Brady, or someone else? Shaq's surprising hobby index strength and whether undervalued stars ever catch up This was one of the most electric hobby nights in recent memory — and Sports Cards Live was right there with the audience as history unfolded.

00:00-10:00: ML goes into the archive. Here is his interview with the late Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard. They talk Bob's career, saying bye to the old Yankee Stadium, his great career, announcing Mickey Mantle's name, his special table in the stadium's cafeteria and more.
CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!The sports landscape is transforming before our eyes, and nowhere is this more evident than in baseball's analytics revolution. Steve and Justice dive deep into how the New York Yankees have become almost comically dependent on computer-generated decisions, with constantly changing lineups and a roster that's unrecognizable from one season to the next. The analytics department nearly cost the team Aaron Judge, saved only by owner Hal Steinbrenner stepping in above the data-driven recommendations.Beyond the Yankees, we explore baseball's existential challenges - from the massive financial disparities between teams (the Mets spending $323 million while the Marlins operate at just $67 million) to the dwindling talent pipeline. Youth baseball has become increasingly exclusive, with expensive travel teams becoming the primary pathway to college scholarships and professional opportunities, effectively locking out talented kids without financial resources.The evolution of pitching provides another window into baseball's transformation. Today's hurlers rarely complete games and routinely undergo Tommy John surgery, even in high school - a stark contrast to legends like Bob Feller who pitched complete games on three days' rest. This specialization culture has created a climate where toughness seems diminished compared to previous generations.We also tackle technology's broader impact across all sports - from cryptocurrency payments to players and NFT collectibles to the NFL's streaming partnership with ESPN. Perhaps most concerning is gambling's deep integration into sports culture, with team owners investing in betting platforms despite the ethical prohibitions that once saw legends like Mickey Mantle suspended merely for appearing at a casino after retirement.Join us every other Monday at 6pm during football season as we continue to examine how technology, analytics, and commercial interests are fundamentally reimagining the games we love. Are we witnessing innovation or watching traditions that made sports special slowly disappear?
We explore the significance and intricacies of the 1958 Topps Baseball card set, sharing personal collection experiences and insights into the value and rarity of certain cards, especially focusing on the challenges collectors face with the first series due to condition sensitivity and variations.

Let's Play Ball! continues to heat up the summer here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and this week's episode comes straight from a fan recommendation! We're stepping back in time to the epic 1961 home run race with 61* - the story of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Mackenzie might have been sporting her Red Sox hat throughout the recording (just for clarity, you know), but even she can appreciate a compelling baseball story. Grab your drink and let's talk about a record chase that gripped a nation.This week, we're diving into Billy Crystal's portrayal of the intense pressure and rivalry (and friendship) between the "M&M Boys" as they chased Babe Ruth's legendary single-season home run record. We'll be talking about the film's depiction of the media circus, the weight of history, and how two very different personalities handled being under an unforgiving spotlight. It's a look at the human side of a record-breaking season, with all the drama, struggle, and indelible moments.If you're a baseball history buff, a fan of underdog stories (even if you're pulling for the other guy), or just curious about what it took to hit 61 dingers in '61, this episode is for you. We're blending our analysis of the film with our usual conversational style, and yes, Mackenzie will have some thoughts about the Yankees of it all. It's an honest look at a pivotal moment in baseball, brought to you by popular demand!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Bo Jackson - On July 15, 1951, the New York Yankees demote struggling rookie Mickey Mantle to their Kansas City farm team in the American Association. Mantle will return to the Yankees in August and finish his first major league season with 13 home runs and 65 RBIs.On July 15, 1967, St. Louis Cardinals ace Bob Gibson suffers a broken leg when he is struck by a line drive hit by another future Hall of Famer, Roberto Clemente. Incredibly, Gibson pitches to two more batters before leaving the game. Gibson was sidelined until Labor day. He would come back and would win 3 games in the World Series against the Red Sox.On July 15, 1973, Before 41,411 in Detroit, California Angels ace Nolan Ryan hurls his second no-hitter of the season in taming the Detroit Tigers, 6 - 0. Ryan fans 17 batters, the most ever in a 9-inning no-hitter, including eight straight, but only one over the last two innings. Nolan's arm stiffens while watching his team rally for five runs in the top of the 8th. With two outs in the 9th, Norm Cash, who had struck out his three other times at bat, comes to bat wielding a piano leg. Umpire Ron Luciano points out the illegality and Cash then pops out using a regulation bat. Ryan's eight strikeouts in a row ties the American League record he set last year. On July 15, 1990, Bo Jackson of the Kansas City Royals hits home runs in three consecutive at-bats before separating his shoulder trying to make a diving catch against Deion Sanders of the New York Yankees. Jackson's power surge helps the Royals to a 10-7 victory, but the two-sport star will miss the next six weeks.On July 15, 1994 - In the first inning at Comiskey Park, Chicago White Sox manager Gene Lamont accuses Cleveland Indians slugger Albert Belle of using a corked bat, and umpire Dave Phillips confiscates the bat and stores it in the umps' dressing room. In a Mission Impossible caper revealed in 1999, the Indians' Jason Grimsley crawls 100 feet along a ceiling, drops down into the dressing room, and exchanges Belle's bat for one of Paul Sorrento's. After the 3 - 2 Indians win, the switch is discovered to the consternation of the umps and the White Sox. The Indians subsequently turn over one of Belle's bats and Belle is given a 10-day suspension, later reduced to seven games.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn SaysTrivia is provided by -Horseshide TriviaThis Day In Baseball is Sponsored by - www.vintagebaseballreflections.com - Join the membership today and listen to 50 years of baseball history told to you by the folks who were there!

In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Broadcast Booth, Hall of Fame sportscaster Steve Albert chronicles the ups, downs, and unforeseen mishaps that occurred throughout his lifelong journey on the air.From getting nailed in the head by an errant LeBron James pass, to ducking bottles thrown in boxing arena riots, to frightful flights and car trips, Steve discovered that doing play-by-play was a surprisingly hazardous profession. Thankfully, calling games and fights was also pretty entertaining.In a seriously funny collection of humorous and autobiographical essays, Steve recalls encounters with Mickey Mantle pinching, Eddie Murphy boxing, and Meat Loaf serenading. Steve also describes his many unusual experiences, including the morning he smashed through a stuck bathroom door to get to a show on time, saw his broadcast partner Ralph Kiner set his own chair on fire, bolted from a hornet's nest in his booth, and announced the infamous Mike Tyson “Bite Fight.”About Steve AlbertSteve Albert is a sportscaster best known for his decades behind the mic for Showtime Championship Boxing, doing blow-by-blow for some of the biggest fights in boxing history. His boxing calls, including 300-plus world title fights, earned him induction into three boxing halls of fame. During a memorable 45-year career, he also spent almost a quarter of a century doing television play-by-play in the NBA, winning an Emmy Award along the way. Steve called the last game in ABA history when the legendary Julius “Dr J.” Erving led the NY Nets to the championship. All told, Steve announced for thirteen teams in eleven leagues. He also appeared in movies, TV sitcoms/dramas, sports competition game shows, and countless commercials. Steve Albert comes from a family of sportscasters.For more info on the book click HERE

When Yankees fans first learned about Jasson Domínguez, it was because their newest international signing was being compared to players such as Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout. While those expectations might be impossible for anyone to meet, Domínguez is developing into a solid big leaguer, even while learning a new position on the fly. The young stud chatted with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for this week's episode, discussing his development, his struggles with injuries and much, much more. Stick around for our second segment, in which YES Network's Meredith Marakovits joins to chat about the news around the Yankees, and to recap a wild trip to the wrong clubhouse in Tampa. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books, offering a chapter on some of the greatest single months by Yankees players. This week's episode is presented by Volvo.

Oh, to be kids again. Jerrid Knight and James Grier have fond memories of boxing matches, wrestling tournaments, snowball fights—the wholesome fun that brothers enjoy. They also remember broken bones, when James made Jerrid pass out, and trading away a Mickey Mantle baseball card by accident. Live and learn, right? After high school, both brothers joined the military—an experience they credit with instilling the character and discipline that helped them get where they are today. But most of all, they credit God for ordaining a path that challenged them to grow…..and eventually, brought them to Nussbaum Transportation. Today's exchange is packed with stories, from Jerrid playing the Wicked Witch of the West in 4th grade, to James deploying overseas as a newly married Marine. With warmth and candor, our guests remind us that every experience—no matter how challenging—can be a steppingstone in God's ultimate plan. Press play and enjoy!

SEASON 3 EPISODE 121: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The District Attorney for New Orleans Jason Williams must indict and issue arrest warrants for Tom Homan, Kristi Noem (Now With 8 Action Adventure Dress-Up Outfits) and the other members of the ICE Gestapo who disappeared a two-year old New Orleans born girl and sent her to Honduras - possibly making up a story that her Honduran-born mother wanted to take her with her - AND also abducted and renditioned a four-year old US Citizen toddler with Stage 4 Medication and sent her and her mother to Honduras, too. The charges should be led by Child Trafficking, kidnapping, violation of 5th and 14th Amendment rights, and be predicated on the fact that ICE has degenerated into a violent gang threatening the safety of Americans. Throw the RICO act at the Brownshirts. The event was so egregious, so redolent of Moral Cannibalism, that the Trump Appointee judge who brought the case to public attention and tried to stop it referred in his writings to their plane being above "The Gulf of America." But he also voiced his "strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process." Indictments of Noem and the others may be fruitless. But it will at least symbolize that democracy will at least fight back against what Trump is doing: which is verging on Ethnic Cleansing. MEANWHILE IN WISCONSIN the ICE stormtroopers who arrested a judge in her courtroom for not collaborating with a raid should themselves be arrested. And unlike Trump, authorities there will not have to fabricate or pervert laws to do so. PLUS I'll analyze Trump's sudden pathetic pleadings to Putin, his bat guano crazy interview with Time, and most imperatively, his writing that he suspects Putin is "just tapping me along." There is no indication anywhere that this phrase "tapping me along" has ever been used by anybody else, ever. There is every indication Trump's mind may have now degenerated further into the stage where he is making up his own words and phrases. B-Block (36:00) Dedicated to Karoline Leavitt whose first and last names both contain the letters for the word "lie." Trump himself gets a bronze for boasting about spending $58,000 of his own money on behalf of the country while he syphons off millions daily. The runner-up is Ed Martin and his embrace, then disengagement, from the world's stupidest looking Hitler cosplayer. But the winner again is Bill Maher, who perpetuates his career-ending decision to go to the White House for dinner with Trump. He claims Larry David's soon-to-be-Pulitzer-Prize winning satire of the event has insulted "six million dead Jews" because of the comparison between Trump and Hitler: "I think the minute you play the ‘Hitler’ card, you’ve lost the argument." Ooops. It's a shame Bill's memory is so damaged. Guess who played the Hitler card, made the comparison to Trump, and thus presumably lost the argument? Twice? On his own show? IN 2015? C-Block (46:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Someone mentioned the great Cornell astronomer and planetary scientist and 26-time Tonight Show guest Carl Sagan and I was flashed back. Sure enough, it was 47 years ago last week that he won a Pulitzer Prize. Our Cornell radio station called him for an interview and he said yes, on one condition: "Is your sportscaster Keith there? I want him to do it. He gets it." This would be the first time I ever interviewed anybody famous, and he requested me, even though we'd never met. I'm as stunned now as I was then, and I'll explain why it happened. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week we take an introspective look at the life and baseball journey of one Peter Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, who would become one of baseball's greatest characters and catchers. The World War II veteran and unprecedented 13 time World Champion as a player. was best described by his manager Casey Stengal, " As a very strange fellow with remarkable baseball abilities." He served as the anchor and bridge between the Joe DiMaggio and the Mickey Mantle era of the Yankees of the 1940's and 1950's, the storied franchise's most dominanat era. Not only would he craft a legendary playing career through grit and determination, he would also become a cultural icon, whose fame transcended the baseball diamond with his Yogiism style of speech, with phrases such as, "It aint over till it's over." and, " A Nickel aint worth a dime anymore." #YogiBerra #TheHill #JoeGaragiola #StLouisCardinals #BranchRickey #NewYorkYankees #LeoBrown #GeorgeWeiss #BrooklynDodgers #MelOtt #JackieRobinson #DonLarsen #CaseyStengel #GeorgeSteinbrenner #CarmenShort #BillDickey #GilHodges #PhilLinz

Billy Binion on X: "My reaction to stuff like this is two-fold. 1) I have enough confidence in the courts & our system of governance that this would fail spectacularly. 2) If a Democrat were musing about securing a 3rd term, Republicans would be blind with rage. Partisanship is a cancer." Baseball’s Greatest Moments on X: ""Don't be like me. God gave me a body, ability to play baseball...it was just wasted. I was given so much."

In early 2022, the hype around NFTs was at its peak, and Mike Belsito found himself caught up in the frenzy—so much so that he and a lifelong friend decided to go all-in on a historic digital collectible: a 1-of-1 NFT of the legendary 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card. With a max bid of $60,000, they were ready to make a play, but the auction didn't quite go as planned. In this re-released episode, Mike recounts the excitement, the nostalgia, and the financial risks of the NFT gold rush. From the conversations with his friend and fellow collector to the surprising aftermath of the auction, this episode captures the highs, the lows, and the lasting lessons of an investment that never materialized. Plus, we explore what happened to that elusive Mickey Mantle NFT—and whether it was really worth it after all.
