Podcasts about national pastime

Baseball has been called the National Pastime in America.  The same could be said in Japan.  Each team has American players and one of those joins the show today.  Former Ranger Tony Barnette joins to talk all things baseball stateside and in Japan. 

Episode 298 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're continuing our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.Buck O'Neil was fantastic first baseman, a terrific scout and manager and an overall amazing ambassador to the game in general.Born in segregated Florida, O'Neil realized that the game of baseball was a way out of hard labor in the celery fields of his youth during the 1930s.Though forced to barnstorm and play in obscurity during his early years in professional baseball, O'Neil became a staple at first base for some of the greatest Negro Leagues teams of all time as a member of the Kansas City Monarchs.O'Neil made two All-Star teams and was an integral part of the Monarchs' 1942 Negro World Series championship squad. A great hitter and defender, O'Neil was sadly robbed of a chunk of his prime years when he served in the Navy in World War II.After his service, O'Neil returned to the Negro Leagues and managed the Monarchs from 1948-1955 when the league was struggling financially in the post-integration era.Armed with a keen eye for talent, O'Neil then became a scout for the Chicago Cubs and signed legends such as Lou Brock. He is even credited as being the first African-American manager in MLB history when he became manager of the Cubs in 1962 despite never getting to manage on the field.He continued to enjoy decades of success as a scout for the Cubs and the Kansas City Royals, and even helped establish the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.A true pioneer and credit to the game of baseball, O'Neil was a legend. Finally, in 2022 he was enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame for his contributions to the National Pastime.Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #buckoneil#baseballplayer#baseball

Graig Kreindler is "The Painter of the National Pastime" whose baseball paintings have been featured in numerous museums and news outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Fox News, and the New York Times. Rap icon Chuck D (himself an accomplished painter) says that Graig is "a time machine" who "puts you right there with the Cracker Jack and Beer". Graig's paintings bring to life bygone eras of baseball including the 19th century, the deadball era, the Negro Leagues and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Graig and Russell discuss his paintings, baseball history, and much more!For more information or to commission a painting go to www.graigkreindler.com. 

I sat down with author Jeffrey Orens, who wrote Selling Baseball: How A.G. Spalding Built America's Game.This episode is all about the unsung architects of America's pastime—A.G. Spalding and George Wright. These two names might not be as famous as Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson, but their impact on baseball's transformation from a simple game to a nationwide business powerhouse is huge.We'll explore how Spalding's marketing genius and Wright's pioneering play helped shape baseball into the beloved sport we know today. You're not going to want to miss this deep dive into baseball history.

Pride month has been a wild one for the RPGrinders. Eric has been forced to do the news by himself. Break has been going broke at Pride festivals. Frank had such a bad day that we were forced to cancel one night! With so much going on will the Grinders have enough time to finish Game Night? Normally, the show would start wit h the news but Eric did the hard work of recording all of the news in a separate mini episode. Without news the Grinders skip ahead.  With a two-week break the Grinders have plenty of reviews. Eric reviews a classic 80s trilogy that made a crazy man into a Hollywood icon. The review of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max trilogy leads into the newest movie in the franchise, Furiosa. Eric also gives his review of the first season of Delicious in Dungeon. Break and Frank also have reviews but Eric is obviously the star of this segment!   Next up is the Stinkos, and Break's attempts at dragging the show on forever with a laundry list of complaints. A corrupt Supreme Court, dirty Ohio politicians, the death of arguably the greatest baseball player to ever live and a Hollywood legend, are only a handful of his complaints. Does he ever have anything good to say? Yes, he does! And that is they the Sweetos come next! Break enjoys a far-Right political group sticking it to Trump. Booing Trump should be a National Pastime. Frank enjoys the spoils of a brand-new washing machine and by spoils, I mean clean clothes. Eric isn't to be left out as the Nintendo Direct was able to meet his high standards. With no episode on the last Friday in June, will the Grinders be able to complete game night in this episode? The heroes start the current adventure with a choice before them. A Forest, a Dungeon, and a Field were all challenges that need to be defeated before they complete the magic scroll, defeat the evil squirrel wizard, Cutie Pie, and escape his curse. So far, the heroes have defeated the Dungeon but not in time to rescue their uber-hot friends.  Now only two areas remained. Which would the party choose first: A Rabbit infested Field or a cursed Forest?  Either choice will be dangerous. The Forest is currently run by one of the many families of the Rabbit mafia, the Cottontail family. The Forest may even be more dangerous as its list of enemies is more diverse and hungrier.  Will our heroes survive? Will they be able to beat Game Night in one night? Will Eric and Frank finally get fed up with Break's ludicrous story telling? Can the chatters trust Frank to roll a 20? Can this clusterfuck of a game actually entertain?  *fingers crossed*                     And yes. That is the voice of God. Now GET! GET ON OUTTA 'ERE!                 HAPPY PRIDE!

The 1974 baseball season was littered with players who would one day be enshrined in Cooperstown. But on the cover of the Sports Illustrated issue was Pete Rose, one of the few who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but not because Pete couldn't play... he was the MVP in 1973, and is baseball's all-time leader in hits, but.... well, you know... Former Sportswriter and VP of Communications for the Dodgers, Gary Miereanu joins us to look back at a phenomenal time in baseball as the National Pastime was still king of the Sports World in America. Willie Stargell, Steve Garvey, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer and the Toy Cannon, Jimmy Wynn are a handful of the players we discuss in this episode. And as a bonus, a 2nd episode where we do a mock draft of a first round of fantasy baseball... if there was such a thing back 50 years ago. Learn more about your ad choices.

Harper's Contributing Editor and novelist/historian extraordinaire Kevin Baker ("The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City") brings his blended affection for (and evocative portrayals of) both "The Big Apple" and the "National Pastime" - to make a compelling case for New York City as the rightful center of the baseball universe. From Alan Moores' review in Booklist:   "Baseball fans beyond Gotham's gravitational pull might bristle at the notion that New York was the epicenter of the creation and growth of the game. But Baker's raucous, revelatory, lovingly detailed account will win them over from the first pitch. Baker lays out the early history of the game in the city, then seamlessly weaves together the vibrant origin stories of the New York Yankees, New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers, and the city's Cuban and African American teams, right up to the eve of Jackie Robinson's 1945 signing with the Dodgers.   "He vividly recreates the recklessly ambitious, breathtakingly corrupt, alcohol-fueled world of Tammany Hall politics—which were followed by the reforms of Fiorello La Guardia—that steered, and were sometimes even steered by, the game. Dozens of near-mythic and also too-human figures parade through the pages, from John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Fred Merkle, Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, Leo Durocher, Casey Stengel, Red Barber, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Branch Rickey, to an array of crime bosses, team owners, and mayors.    "Then there was Babe Ruth, whose gaudy statistics, irrepressible personality, and seismic impact on the game, the city, and the entire nation outshone even his legend, as Baker convincingly argues here. A spellbinding history of a game and the city where it found itself."   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable   SPONSOR THANKS: Newspapers.com (promo code: GSA20):  https://newspapers.com   BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City (2024): https://amzn.to/3TvWgsf   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

A tragic situation exist, when virtue doesn't triumph, and it is felt when our hero is nobler, than the forces that conspire against him and ultimately destroy him. This week we will look at the amazing career and life of Ken Griffey Jr. A player who would usher in the 1990's brand of major league baseball, and become the decade's face of the National Pastime. He had everything. The physical genetics, he inherited from his father; the confidence, arrogance and swagger. He transcended race, and he had a smile you could see from the last row of the upper deck at the Kingdome. He seemed surely destined to go down as one of, if not the greatest player ever, before numerous injuries would rob him of his destiny. Even though the fairytale has an almost tragic ending (in baseball terms), with twisting, unexpected storylines, it is still gratifying to to marvel at what it was, instead of giving in to the temptation of contemplating what it could have been, #KenGriffeyJr #TheKid #KenGriffeySr #DanoraPennsylvania #BigRedMachine #BirdieGriffey #TomMooney #RogerJongwaard #SeattleMariners #HaroldReynolds #MoellarHighSchool #KingDome #RandyJohnson #EdgarMartinez #CincinnatiReds #ChicagoWhiteSox

Though considered "America's National Pastime", it took baseball over 100 years to be inclusive for all Americans. Jackie Robinson was the first man to break the "color line" that separated black and white players from playing on the same teams during the Jim Crow era. Through his incredible athletic abilities, determination, and resolve, Jackie Robinson helped to break down barriers not only in the MLB but in society as well.

Kash Shaikh is an award-winning storyteller, marketer, brand builder, and entrepreneur. And he had a crazy dream. A dream so large - so grandiose - so monumental that it was hard for even him to grasp the concept truly. The dream was to bring baseball - America's National Pastime - to the epicenter of cricket: the Middle East and South Asia. It is a land with over 2 billion people (1 billion cricket fans), and he wants to do it in a major way. His idea is now called Baseball United, and it's no longer a dream — it's a reality. Baseball United has four teams: Mumbai Cobras (GM Barry Larkin & Manager Chris Sabo), Karachi Monarchs (GM Adrian Beltre & Manger Miguel Tejada), Dubai Wolves (GM Felix Hernadez & Manager John McLaren), and the Abu Dhabi Falcons (GM Nick Swisher & Dennis Cook). The league held its first-ever draft last month, featuring prominent former MLB players like Robinson Canó, Bartolo Colon, Pablo Sandoval, Didi Gregorius. and Andrelton Simmons. On this episode, Cheats is joined by Flobo as they welcome Kash to talk all things Baseball United. This episode is informative and fun. It gives you a glimpse into the daily challenges of building a major (international) baseball league from scratch. You don't want to miss this episode.

The New NFL Schedule for 2023   Is Baseball Back as National Pastime?   Remembering Vida Blue    

It's the movie based on the book that changed the way we think about baseball - and we would argue, OTHER sports as well. Maybe even about life. Alright, that's way too deep for a film podcast. The Chumps welcome back Mike Pagano to discuss how our National Pastime was impacted by the crafty 2002 Oakland A's and the controversial SABRmetrics. Luke brings up his 1st ever MLB game (that Corrye was a part of) which ties in perfectly for this episode. PLUS: We chat about the new Dune 2 trailer (they show the sandworm riding!), Pedro Pascal joining the Gladiator sequel cast, and a guessing game involving an outer space pact.

Episode 89: This week it's all about America's National Pastime! Lee Olson joins in to speak about his days collecting baseball cards, competing for the team in high school, as well as his 20-year stint working for the Mariners. We also discuss some of the issues with the league including steroids, race, TV deals, and the addition of the new time clock. Oh, and of course we go over some of the top movies and music associated with the sport! 0:00 - Cold Open / Intro (Lee Michaels)1:06 - Mustache & Hawaiian Shirt / Helmet2:16 - Mr. Baseball / Mariners Job4:30 - High School Baseball / Athletic Ability10:58 - Turkey Bowls / Getting Old14:44 - Baseball Cards / Shohei Ohtani23:27 - Steroids in MLB25:51 - Favorite Baseball Movies29:14 - Women in The Major Leagues32:03 - Best Era of Baseball35:26 - Most Valuable Cards & Memorabilia 48:12 - Food at Ballpark / Beer Sales / Pitch Clock52:43 - Baseball Popularity & Black Athletes56:21 - Blackouts & TV Broadcasts59:31 - Race Percentages in MLB / Japanese Fans1:04:44 - Baseball Music / Walk-Up Songs1:08:57 - Jeter & A-Rod / Mike Jackson1:15:59 - Sports: Old School vs. New School1:20:59 - Pitch Timer Countdown1:21:48 - Outro / Close

Tim Kurkjian's love of baseball radiates as he recounts his four decades of covering our National Pastime. The ESPN stalwart takes us to his early days as a newspaper beat reporter when terrible teams couldn't extinguish his joy. Tim recalls Don Zimmer's wisdom, Earl Weaver's unforgettable greeting, and Cal Ripken Jr.'s ferocious competitiveness even off the field.. He puts us there for a Game 7 that Jack Morris wouldn't leave, and a Game 7 when the Cubs broke a curse. We hear about Tony Gwynn's favorite bat, an odd request from Mickey Rivers, and a shared fascination for the APBA board game. There's a memorable moment with Johnny Bench sitting lakeside in Cooperstown. And, yes, that sausage mascot race . . . Yikes. Kurkjian was named the 2022 Baseball Writers' Association of America's Career Excellence Award winner (formerly the J.G. Taylor Spink award), presented annually to a writer “for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.” He was recognized at Baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies in July of '22. Tim has been a senior writer for ESPN.com and a baseball writer, analyst, host and reporter for ESPN TV since 1998. He has served as an analyst for “Monday Night Baseball” and “Wednesday Night Baseball.” Tim earned an Emmy Award in 2002 for his work on “Baseball Tonight,” and he was honored with a second Emmy for his contributions to “SportsCenter” in 2003-04. Tim was one of the first sportswriters to appear on TV as an analyst. He spent the first half of his career at newspapers and at Sports Illustrated, where he was a baseball senior writer for nine seasons (1998-97). He also worked as an on-air reporter for CNN-SI in his final two years at the magazine. His journalism career began at The Washington Star in 1978. He then worked briefly for the Baltimore News American in 1981 before joining the The Dallas Morning News to cover the Texas Rangers as a beat reporter beginning in the 1982 season. Tim moved to The Baltimore Sun in 1986 and covered the Baltimore Orioles as a beat writer through the 1989 season. Kurkjian is the author of three books: “America's Game” (2000), “Is This a Great Game or What?” (2007), and “I'm Fascinated by Sacrifice Flies” (2017). He grew up in Bethesda, Md. and attended Walter Johnson High School, named for the great Washington Senators pitcher. Tim graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS in journalism in 1978.

Former Major League Pitcher Ken Brett is quoted as saying, "The worst curse in life is unlimited potential." After the rise to stardom of New York Yankees great Mickey Mantle, the expectations that come with being "the next" are high, and in some cases, crushing.  Barry Sparks joins Lawrence Knorr to talk baseball, and share stories of players who were touted as that guy in "Finding the Next Mickey Mantle." Among these chronicled by Sparks are some familiar names. We hear the stories of Bill Robinson, Clint Hurdle and Tom Tresh, and how and why they fared as they did. Some, like Joe Pepitone were considered to have burned up their best years and potential, while others, such as Ruben Rivera never quite panned out to their (at times unfair) top billing. We also hear why Sparks considers Mike Trout to be one of the best players of his generation, and how Bryce Harper handles these pressures better than most. Sparks has written about baseball for more than 50 years. His first article appears in the July 1970 Baseball Digest. His work has appeared in more than 70 national and regional publications, including National Pastime, Sports Parade and Sports Collectors Digest. He is also the author of a biography of Frank "Home Run" Baker, and is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. He lives in York, Pennsylvania.

In today's episode, Chris and Steve swing for the fences and talk about the history, background and controversy around the 1919 World Series. We will use the movie and book 8 Men Out, along with recently released documents from the Society for American Baseball Research's Black Sox Scandal project to think about why arguable the greatest team to have ever stepped onto a baseball field would purposefully lose the World Series.
