Our show's 75th episode has a special guest in Jayson Stark, one of the most well-respected, well-liked baseball writers for more than 40 years. His passion for the game and craft shines through as he discusses growing up as Stan Hochman's pen pal, studying Peter Gammons early in his career, and mentoring other young reporters. Jayson has some wild tales – including a near punch by Dickie Noles, and Dallas Green's special gift – from being a beat writer covering the early '80s Philadelphia Phillies. Hear how Jayson developed his weekly baseball column, renowned since 1983 for humor, oddball stats and offbeat facts. He tells us about a World Series game that he considers the best in history. And there's even a story connecting a Sammy Sosa homer and a certain Frenchman. The Baseball Writers' Association of America named Stark the 2019 winner of its Career Excellence Award, which he received at the Hall of Fame induction weekend in Cooperstown, New York. Jayson worked 21 years at his hometown Philadelphia Inquirer, first serving as the Phillies' beat reporter (1979-82) and then becoming the paper's national baseball writer and columnist in '83. His Baseball Week in Review column proved so popular in syndication that it continued after he was hired by ESPN in 2000. For the next 17 years, Stark served as a senior baseball writer for ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine while making regular appearances on the cable network's TV shows “Baseball Tonight,” “SportsCenter” and “Outside the Lines,” as well as regular ESPN Radio guest spots on “Mike and Mike” and as co-host of a weekly radio show during the baseball season on ESPN Radio's affiliate in Philadelphia. His TV work includes appearances on Major League Baseball Productions, NFL Films and Philadelphia's Comcast SportsNet. He is also a former baseball analyst for the Sports Fan radio network and a commentator on the Phillies' pregame radio show. Despite his popularity and proficiency, Stark was laid off by ESPN in April 2017. He has been covering baseball at The Athletic and MLB Network since 2018. Jayson also served as a columnist for Baseball America for 16 years and has written for Sports Illustrated, Sport, Inside Sports, Sporting News, Men's Fitness and Athlon. His first job in journalism was at the Providence Journal (1975-78). Stark has won an Emmy for his work on "Baseball Tonight," has been inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame and is a two-time winner of the Pennsylvania Sportswriter of the Year award given by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. He was a finalist for that group's National Sportswriter of the Year award in 2017. Stark was honored by Penn State's Foster Conference for Distinguished Writers in 2010. He has won several awards from the Associated Press Sports Editors, and he was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2017. That year, Topps issued a Jayson Stark baseball card. Jayson is the author of three books: “Wild Pitches: Rumblings, Grumblings, and Reflections on the Game I Love” (2014) “Worth The Wait: Tales of the 2008 Phillies” (2011) “The Stark Truth: The Most Overrated and Underrated Players in Baseball History” (2007) Stark earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Syracuse University in 1973. He was born in Philadelphia and grew up in the city's Northeast section. His mother, June Herder Stark, wrote for the Philadelphia Record and worked alongside legendary sportswriter Red Smith. She later edited the Philadelphia edition of Where Magazine. You can follow Stark on X: @jaysonst Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Pitching Command Show with guest Peter Gammons, hall of fame sports writer. With everyone throwing hard nowadays, command is now the separator. It's no longer a choice between being either a power pitcher or a finesse pitcher today. You need to be both, velocity with command. Command is what separates pitchers from the pack today. Peter began his journalism career at the Boston Globe where he covered the Red Sox for most of the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a lead baseball columnist for Sports Illustrated, as well as writing a column for Sporting News. Peter then joined ESPN as a baseball analyst in 1988 and appeared regularly on Baseball Tonight and also made appearances on SportsCenter. In 2009, he left ESPN and joined the MLB Network. Peter was voted the National Sportswriter of the Year three times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. A great discussion about training and measuring pitching control, command, sequencing and what it takes to pitch at higher levels of baseball.

He takes into the clubhouse and behind the scenes during his 33 seasons of covering Major League Baseball in Cleveland for the Akron Beacon Journal.

For more than half a century, Frank Deford wrote for Sports Illustrated magazine and for 37 of those years he was also heard regularly on NPR, and seen on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. Six times, Deford was voted national sports writer of the year by the National Sportscasters and Sports Writers Association. But after all those years it took him until 2012 to finally write his memoir, a book. He called Over Time.

Dickerson made his debut in the Tigers booth in 2000 and has been the lead play-by-play announcer for them since 2002. He is a three-time Michigan Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, earning the accolade in 2005, 2006 and 2014. Dickerson is a native of Clarkston, Michigan, and his wife, L.A., is also a professor at MSU. Conversation Highlights: On the labor issues in the Major League Baseball lockout: “These are complicated issues, but I firmly believe in my heart there are solutions out there. We just got fans back in the stands in full force towards the end of last season. We need to build on that momentum and not lose any games.” On the Hall of Fame status of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens: “This is a museum that's supposed to reflect the history of the game. Were Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens a big part of the history of the game? Yes! Clearly, they deserve to be in; they're two of the greatest of all time. And then you just make sure you tell the whole story. That's the whole point of a museum.” On the pace of play in baseball: He's not opposed to a pitch clock. “I do think it could pick up the pace of play.” He's not in favor of moving the mound back. “The extra inning runner is probably here to stay, and I'm in favor of having the designated hitter in both leagues.” On the prospects for the 2022 Tigers: “Greene and Torkelson are the headliners, but this is a pretty deep farm system. I've been a Tigers fan since 1967, and I don't ever remember two prospects with this level of national acclaim. Both are considered top ten if not top five hitting prospects in all of baseball. A.J. Hinch knows you win with pitching and defense, and they've got the makings of a team that can do that. Last year, Hinch really wanted to get to 500. I guarantee you they'll go into spring training with the goal of winning the division. Winning a world championship will be the goal from here on out.” On radio and how fans consume play-by-play: “As long as people are outside in the summer, driving cars, having family get togethers, fishing, walking, or whatever it might be, there will be a place for baseball on the radio. And there are just more ways to listen now. I don't worry about it at all. I know people aren't carrying around transistor radios anymore and putting them under their pillows, but they have phones. And for $2.99 a month you can listen not just to Tigers baseball but all broadcasts from around baseball. You can listen on your phone. You can listen on your laptop. There are so many ways to listen, and people are taking advantage of them.” On teaching play-by-play at MSU: “It's fun. I enjoy interacting with the students. I enjoy it because I know how I do what I do, but how do I teach what I do? Where do you start with someone who's never done it before? You need to come up with a vocabulary and be able to say the same thing five or six different ways. We practice a lot with college basketball because it's so fast paced. Don't have the crowd roaring and you're still trying to get the ball down the court. As long as you can keep up with the play, think of all things you can describe and describe them well. That takes time. The kids are great, and I love being in the classroom. They energize me.” Find Dan on Cameo with all proceeds going to benefit students in need in sports journalism at MSU and follow Dan Dickerson on Twitter @Dan_Dickerson. (Audio courtesy of Major League Baseball) MSU Today airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 on WKAR News/Talk and Sunday evenings at 8:00 on 760 WJR.

ABOUT VERNE LUNDQUIST AND HIS BOOK PLAY BY PLAY: CALLING THE WILDEST GAMES IN SPORTS Verne Lundquist, or "Uncle Verne" as many know him, has one of the most recognizable voices, and faces, in sports. After more than 50 years in broadcasting,PLAY BY PLAY: Calling the Wildest Games in Sports - From SEC Football to College Basketball, The Masters, and More (William Morrow; Hardcover; October 9, 2018; $ 28.99) marks the first time "Uncle Verne" turns the spotlight on himself-recalling some of the most important, unbelievable, and even outlandish moments he's seen happen on the field, in the clubhouse, or otherwise over the last five decades. Written with Verne's familiar humor and flair, PLAY BY PLAY begins with the early days of his career as a sports anchor in Austin in 1963. He soon moved to Dallas, where he continued as an anchor and play-by-play announcer for the Cowboys in the 1970s, when the team dominated the game of football. Over the next fifty years, he covered innumerable sporting events for a variety of networks, most notably CBS Sports, which he first joined in 1982. He moved to Turner Sports in 1995 for three years, while continuing to cover figure skating for CBS. He returned to the network in 1998, and two years later he began his tenure as the beloved play-by-play announcer for SEC on CBS. Over the course of his time with CBS, he covered more than twenty different sports for the network. Verne has always seen himself as a teller of stories, and he doesn't hold anything back in PLAY BY PLAY as he takes readers behind the scenes of some of the most iconic moments in sports history, including: . Jack Nicklaus' legendary one-stroke victory at the 1986 Masters Tournament . Christian Laettner's buzzer beater in the 1992 NCAA Tournament, which sent the Blue Devils to the Final Four .

Tennessee-Alabama in 2009, when Terrence "Mount" Cody blocked two crucial kicks to bring home another Crimson Tide victory . The Kick Six Iron Bowl of 2013, where the Auburn Tigers delivered a shocking blow to the heavily favored University of Alabama Verne also remembers the friendships he's made along the way, and shares with readers personal, surprising anecdotes about his life both inside and outside the booth, including: . His lifelong fascination with radio, and the call that brought him into a radio booth for the first time (surprise: it had nothing to do with sports) . The small, but important, role he played as a KTBC-AM (Austin) employee on November 22, 1963 - the day JFK Jr. was assassinated . Why he initially viewed the SEC play-by-play gig as a demotion, and what made him realize it was actually the most significant assignment of his career . The conversations he had with Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach about his recurring concussions and how they might impact him down the line . The legendary broadcaster who convinced Verne to host Bowling for Dollars - and why . Why he disagreed with President Carter's decision to pull the U.S. out of the 1980 Moscow Olympics . His unlikely love affair with figure skating, and his longtime friendship with Scott Hamilton . Why he agrees with many that University of Alabama's Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach to date . The time he found himself in the middle of a near altercation between Bob Knight and Tommy Heinsohn . Happy Gilmore - how he came to be part of the famous film, and how he learned he was second choice to Pat Summerall . Why he feels so passionately about the Army-Navy game, and why he chose it as his final college football broadcast ABOUT VERNE LUNDQUIST VERNE LUNDQUIST began his remarkable broadcasting career at KTBC-TV in Austin, TX. He joined CBS Sports in 1982, and during his tenure he covered more than twenty sports for the network. Lundquist was inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame in 2007, and in May 2016 he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Sports at the 37th annual Sports Emmy Awards. He lives in Steamboat Springs, CO. "Verne Lundquist's legendary voice echoes throughout the annals of sports broadcasting. He is a timeless storyteller with a unique ability to make fans feel like they are sitting right next to him watching history, while at the same time almost not realizing he is even there. Verne is a friend, a Hall of Famer, and the soundtrack to so many unforgettable memories in sports history." -NICK SABAN, Head Football Coach, University of Alabama Crimson Tide "Uncle Verne made Saturdays better, he made the SEC better, and he made college football better. Thank you for sharing your story with sports fans everywhere. Readers are sure to be entertained by your powerful storytelling." -TIM TEBOW, Heisman Trophy Winner and New York Times bestselling author "I have never known any other broadcaster who touches my dear friend Verne Lundquist's heart, mind, and talent. My many years of sitting to his right were the very best in my television career. Class, integrity, knowledge, and experience put him in a class by himself. A storyteller telling his story. Doesn't get much better than that!" -SCOTT HAMILTON, 1984 Olympics Men's Figure Skating Gold Medalist​

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Terry Hutchens, Author of Indiana Hoosiers Bucket List. Every Indiana Hoosiers fan has a bucket list of activities to take part in at some point in their lives. But even the most die-hard fans haven't done everything there is to experience in and around Bloomington, Indiana. From visiting the campus to copying Keith Smart's jump shot to win the 1987 national championship, author Terry Hutchens and Bill Murphy provide ideas, recommendations, and insider tips for must-see places and can't-miss activities near the Assembly Hall.

Whether you're attending every home game or supporting the Hoosiers from afar, there's something for every fan to do in The Indiana Hoosiers Fans' Bucket List. Terry Hutchens has covered the Hoosiers for 18 seasons, the first 15 at the Indianapolis Star. He currently is the content manager for Btownbanners.com and does freelance work for the Associated Press out of Indianapolis. This is his eighth book, and seventh on IU sports. Five times, Terry has been honored as Indiana's Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. He also teaches sports journalism at Indiana University in Bloomington. Terry and his wife Susan live in Indianapolis. Bill Murphy is a writer and longtime educator based in Greenfield, Indiana. A veteran of nearly 40 years coaching basketball at the elementary through high school level, he feels privileged to have worked with thousands of students over his many years of dedicated service. He is the author of Branch: The Branch McCracken Story as well as The Cardiac Kids: .

Could the Reds finish second or third in the National League Central? Andy Furman talked Reds baseball with baseball reporter Hal McCoy. Hal McCoy has covered the Reds since 1973. He is partially retired now, but he still covers Reds home games for the Dayton Daily News and for his blog halmccoy.com. In 2015, McCoy was inducted in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association's Hall of Fame. McCoy said the Reds have shown him a lot this season and could be much better than anticipated. McCoy said last year's Reds bullpen was the worst he had ever seen. This year the bullpen has been lights out. That has been his biggest surprise. "That's probably the reason they are 9-6 instead of 6-9," McCoy said. McCoy said he thinks 40-year-old starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo will only get better and will stick around for awhile on the team. Plus, Furman and Ken Broo discuss why FC Cincinnati is getting bigger crowds than the Reds and whether U.S. Bank Arena will get replaced in a bid to bring the NCAA tournament to Cincinnati. 0:45 - Furman and Broo talk Reds and how baseball stacks up to soccer in Cincinnati 6:16 - Will U.S. Bank Arena get a new facility to bring NCAA to Cincinnati 14:55 - Reds reporter Hal McCoy joins to talk Reds baseball Find more at http://wcpo.com/AndyFurman

The Seahawks lose for the third time at home this season, this time losing 23-17 to the St. Louis Rams. Leading from start to finish, they snap Russell Wilson and the Seahawks' streak of having a lead at some point during the game. Adam and Brandan talk about how it seemed like St. Louis was going to win when they managed to fumble their way down the field on their way to 23 points. Seattle had a chance at coming back up until Wilson lost the ball on the 10-yard line with less than five minutes to play. Looking ahead, the guys take a look at the Seahawks potential playoff matchups and who they'd like to see the team play among the Packers, Vikings and Skins. Based on the outcome of the Seahawks and Cardinals, the Sunday night game could determine which team will play the Seahawks in the first round. This week's game against the Cardinals will be Seattle's first chance to get into playoff mode, playing on the road against a team that has a shot to lock up the top seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. We respond to emails that came in this week before getting into Do Better. This week's picks are the San Diego Chargers organization and a guy in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame with more than 20 Sports Emmys on his shelf at home. Better at life honors go out to J.J. Abrams this week and a 15-year veteran wide receiver who has decided to return for a final season. iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Call or text: 253-235-9041Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.comVisit Patreon.com if you'd like to help support the show and get bonus contentDownload our free Amazon app, Android app, or iOS app Find Sea Hawkers clubs around the world at SeaHawkers.orgMusic from the show by The 12 Train, download each track at ReverbNation
