On this day (January 31) in 1919, Jackie Robinson was born in Cairo, Georgia. He would go on to change baseball and American history. In 1947, Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His presence challenged segregation in sports and beyond. Despite facing racism from fans, players, and even teammates, he played with skill and determination. He was named Rookie of the Year and later won the National League MVP. Off the field, Robinson was active in the civil rights movement, using his platform to push for equality. His number 42 was later retired across Major League Baseball. More than an athlete, Robinson's impact reached far beyond the game, paving the way for future generations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"There should be three expectations in life," MLB Network Radio host and noted baseball pundit Mike Ferrin says in a brand new episode of the Best Pocast in Baseball. "Death, taxes, and the Cardinals competing evry year. That's National League baseball." That may be the Cardinals' brand, but that is not entirely their plan this coming season. At Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings in Dallas, Ferrin joins Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss the direction the Cardinals are shifting and how they have a long way to go and a short time to get there. This isn't just about carrying on the torch of the Cardinals Way, but turning it into a more fuel efficient electric lighter. Several years ago as a guest on BPIB, Ferrin, who hosts Power Alley on Sirius XM's MLB Network Radio, introduced this podcast's listeners to the phrase "player dev," short for player development. The conversation that followed in that episode offered a glimpse into where the Cardinals had started to go astray from the modern system and how they can now catch up. Ferrin dives into what current, successful teams do to maximize player development and how the Cardinals are not alone in their attempt to restart after a stalled stretch. Ferrin and Goold also discuss the Cardinals rising to the fifth overall pick in the upcoming MLB draft, and they conclude with a discussion about the legacy of the Paul Goldschmidt-Nolan Arenado era in St. Louis as it likely comes to an end. The two infielders and potential Hall of Famers finished first and third for the 2022 National League MVP, respectively, and they helped the team to several postseason appearances. But Goldschmidt only advanced as far as the 2019 NLCS and they never won a playoff series together as Cardinals teammates. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award unanimously, and the Dodgers made a slew of roster moves in the last week. Ohtani is the only MLB player ever with more than one unanimous MVP win, and he's done so in three of the last four years. He joined Frank Robinson as the only players to win MVP in both the American League and National League. We also look at the Dodgers making some roster moves in the last week, which featured deadlines to set reserve lists for the Rule 5 Draft and to tender contracts to players on the 40-man roster. And Chris Woodward will be the first base coach in 2025, replacing Clayton McCullough who left to manage the Marlins. Left-hander Jack Dreyer was added to the roster after strong numbers in Triple-A and Double-A this season. Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May, both of whom missed all of 2024 after elbow surgery, avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to terms on contracts for 2025. Postseason cult hero Brent Honeywell and left-hander Zach Logue were non-tendered, making them free agents. Both pitchers are out of options, as is Connor Brogdon, who was sent outright to Triple-A but opted for free agency instead. We analyze the Dodgers 40-man roster, which now has 36 players, including 22 pitchers and 14 position players. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the MLB Postseason races and have a spirited MVP debate. Summary: The Inside Pitch with Josh Towers - MLB Postseason and MVP Race In this episode of The Inside Pitch, Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg dive deep into the tight MLB postseason races and the heated MVP debate. They analyze division leaders, playoff outlooks, and key performances from players like Francisco Lindor, Shohei Otani, and Aaron Judge. Postseason Race Breakdown Scott Seidenberg (0:12) opens by discussing the current standings across the MLB divisions. The Yankees lead the AL East, while the Phillies and Dodgers are on top in the NL. As Josh Towers (1:46) points out, experience and mental toughness will determine who can handle the pressure, citing Houston's dominance in the AL West. However, the Twins, despite leading the wild card race, may falter due to bullpen overuse and inconsistency. Francisco Lindor: Underrated MVP Contender Scott Seidenberg (11:43) makes a strong case for Francisco Lindor as a National League MVP candidate, noting his impressive stats and leadership as both a defensive and offensive powerhouse. However, Josh Towers (17:33) argues that Shohei Otani's historic offensive season, with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, puts him ahead despite playing primarily as a DH. MVP Debate: Otani vs. Lindor The hosts debate the value of defense in the MVP conversation. Seidenberg (22:09) points out that Lindor's two-way contributions at shortstop give him an edge, while Towers (16:45) believes Otani's offensive feats make him the clear choice, despite not playing in the field. Yankees' Aaron Judge in the MVP Mix Scott Seidenberg (15:16) highlights Aaron Judge's consistency as a key reason he remains a strong MVP candidate. While Josh Towers (33:16) acknowledges Judge's dominance, he also brings up Bobby Witt Jr. as a contender, particularly with his base-stealing and triple-hitting prowess. Detroit Tigers' Playoff Push Detroit's 22-10 record since August 11 is the best in MLB, as Josh Towers (37:02) credits the Tigers' coaching for turning the team around. The upcoming series against Kansas City is pivotal, with Towers emphasizing that if they sweep the Royals, their playoff hopes are alive. Conclusion As the MLB season winds down, the competition for playoff spots and the MVP title intensifies. Teams like the Twins and Tigers are fighting for survival, while stars like Lindor, Otani, and Judge vie for MVP honors, making the final stretch of the 2024 season must-watch baseball. Timestamped speakers: Scott Seidenberg (0:12, 11:43, 15:16, 22:09) Josh Towers (1:46, 17:33, 16:45, 33:16, 37:02) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"I gave everything I had." And that he did. That was the voice of Willie Mays, who died Tuesday at 93. He was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. During last night's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants at Rickwood Field, it was a special night of tributes. "Please join us in a moment of silence as we remember the great Willie Mays." Willie "Say Hey Kid" Mays was one of the last living players of the Negro League that started in 1948 with the Birmingham Black Barons. The Titan, whose iconic basket catch in the 1954 World Series is etched in the annals of sports history, played 22 seasons, including stints with the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, and Oakland Athletics. The Alabama native had 24 All-Star selections, a National League MVP award in 1965, and a World Series championship in 1954.

As an athlete, part of the climb is reaching the top and often, fame and wealth steal the spotlight, but what's not really discussed, is how a simple game can shape one's identity and provide purpose. In a recent conversation on The Pivot, former MLB All-Star Matt Kemp joins Ryan, Channing, and Fred to unravel the multifaceted journey of life as a professional baseball player. Kemp shares a blend of funny anecdotes and honest reflections, providing a glimpse into the complexities of his career from a small town guy to the big lights of Los Angeles, and the extra pressures that came with playing in the limelight of a big city. From the challenges of adapting to life in various cities to the weight of fame under the spotlight of Los Angeles, Kemp's experiences paint a picture of the highs and lows that come with being a professional athlete. As Matt navigated the transition into retirement, He compares that time in his life to mourning a family death, juggling all the emotions of losing something you love while facing the uncertainties that lie ahead. In 2011 Matt Kemp finished second in National League MVP voting to Ryan Braun, and he talks about his reaction to later finding out Braun tested positive for PEDs that season. He won the Hank Aaron Award that year, though, and Kemp reflects on being biracial in baseball as well as the African-American mentors he had in the sport. Still tough to rationalize missing out on that feat, Matt talks about life now, and leaving the baseball to pursue mentorships and other business endeavors. Throughout the episode, Kemp provides valuable insights into broader themes such as race, identity, and the ever-evolving landscape of rookie vs veterans in the locker room. Playing for the LA Dodgers came with high expectations between living in Hollywood, access to celebrities combined with a fast pace lifestyle while putting up a league high MLB numbers, Matt shares how the pressures sometime were too much to handle and only increased as his personal life took center stage to media outlets and blogs. The guys chat about Matt's adjustment to fame- from the media's accountability to the dating scene, which Channing can't help but ask about his relationship with superstar Rihanna. From his mom and dad helping him choose baseball in Oklahoma to Torii Hunter and Don Newcombe guiding him once he reached the majors, Kemp gives praise to the many people who helped him reach the success he had. Yet today he is no longer an active baseball player, and he talks about the unknown struggles of retirement and entering a new chapter as a dad.

Coming into the 2024 season, the Atlanta Braves had high hopes to make another run at a World Series title. While they've done a good job so far despite losing ace pitcher Spencer Strider for the season, losing star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., for the remainder of the season will be just another test.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman discuss why the loss of Acuña Jr. sucks not just for the Braves but for baseball fans and for the league, as well as why there's a chance the 2024 National League MVP may not be the same explosive player we've grown accustomed to watching when he returns. However, there should still be confidence in Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to find a way to keep the Braves in a position for a postseason spot.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys recap all the action from the weekend including the Baltimore Orioles completing the mop of the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Guardians continuing their hot streak with a sweep of the Los Angeles Angles and why there's nothing to worry about the Los Angeles Dodgers being swept by the Cincinnati Reds.Jake & Jordan close out this episode by talking about the Cinderella NCAA Division III Birmingham–Southern College Panthers baseball team making the College World Series in pursuit of their first title despite their school shutting down a few weeks ago.

Jim Bottomley played for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1922 to 1933. During his 11 years with the Redbirds, Bottomley just might have been the best first baseman in the National League. If he wasn't you'd be hard-pressed to find another first baseman who was better. During that 11 year span, Bottomley hit .325, whacked 181 home runs and knocked in 1,105. In 1928, he won the National League MVP. Four times, he helped the Cardinals win the pennant and in 1926, he helped St. Louis to a magical World Series Championship over the juggernaut that was to become the New York Yankees. He again, helped the Cardinals to a World Series Championship in 1931 over the Philadelphia Athletics. Bottomley is one of the only players in Major League history to twice have 6 hits in a single game and he once had 12 RBI in a game. Yet, when baseball fans are asked about Jim Bottomley, most have never heard of him. That could be because Bottomley played with Rogers Hornsby who was winning triple crowns while Jim was just going about his business. On this episode of SFH, Kent Krause, the author of "Sunny Jim Bottomley" joins the show as we explore Jim's career and just how magnificent a baseball player he was during a career that also saw him play for the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Browns.
On January 23 1962 — Pitcher Bob Feller and infielder Jackie Robinson are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America in their first year of eligibility.Jackie Robinson burst onto the scene in 1947, breaking baseball's color barrier and bringing the Negro leagues' electrifying style of play to the Majors. He quickly became baseball's top drawing card and a symbol of hope to millions of Americans. With Robinson as the catalyst, the Dodgers won six pennants in his 10 seasons. He dominated games on the basepaths, stealing home 19 times while riling opposing pitchers with his daring baserunning style. Robinson was named National League MVP in 1949, leading the loop in hitting (.342) and steals (37), while knocking in 124 runs.Bob Feller's blazing fastball set the standard against which all of his successors have been judged. Rapid Robert spent his entire 18-year career with Cleveland, amassing 266 victories and 2,581 strikeouts, while leading the league in strikeouts seven times. He missed nearly four full seasons in his prime serving his country during World War II, for which he was decorated with five campaign ribbons studded with eight battle stars. Fresh from high school, Feller struck out 17 Athletics in 1936. The fireballer authored three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters while winning 20 or more games six times.

Wolf and Tim Ring discuss Bradley Beal being doubtful for Friday's Suns at Jazz game and discuss Corbin Carroll finishing fifth in the National League MVP voting.
In an unanimous vote, Ronald Acuña Jr has won the 2023 National League MVP.
The New York Yankees traded for Giancarlo Stanton before the 2018 season, and at the time, it was such a Yankee thing to do. Get the reigning National League MVP, who hit 59 home runs the previous season, and pair him up with another giant in the lineup who could have won American League MVP that same season with 52 home runs. It seemed like a match made in heaven. But now, as we head into 2024, we're left to wonder, is Giancarlo Stanton the biggest bust in Yankees' history? We go through the numbers so far and talk about how some numbers (batting average) have taken a steep dive while other numbers (strikeouts) are increasing. We compare his contract to others in the Yankees' recent and not-so-recent past, and then we wonder if Stanton can bounce back. And if he doesn't, how long should the leash be? What's the limit? When do the Yankees decide enough is enough and cut ties? It's a deep dive, so grab a drink and a snack, sit back, and be sure to comment below with your thoughts about Giancarlo Stanton's Yankees' tenure so far and what you think the future holds for him.

DNVR Ranks is at full force and we need to determine if Todd Helton or Larry Walker had the better MVP-caliber season. Walker, the only current Hall of Famer in Colorado Rockies history, actually won the 1997 National League MVP. But the Toddfather, who could be Cooperstown bound in January, won a pair of Player of the Year Awards in 2000. Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer Jeff Francis was in the building on Tuesday for Atlanta and Colorado. Fittingly, a pitcher's duel of sorts broke out. What did Hunter Goodman manage to do this time? Which rookie is the best lock to be a Gold Glove Award Finalist? And to which group does both Charlie Morton and Francis belong? The DNVR Rockies Podcast try to determine how low the lows will be this season as we barrel towards 100 losses for the first time in franchise history.
