An obscure umpire-punching incident by a Washington Senators outfielder helps cement the death of the franchise, the slowness of catchers is recalled when a famously leadfooted example steals a base, a sad manager and a sadder junior high school history test recalled. 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?  Crowd and field noise before and during homerun hit at MLB baseball stadium by bmadore

In this week's new remarks, we consider a revival of the baseball musical Damn Yankees which may let the bigoted owners of the original Washington Senators off the hook for destroying their franchise, with a quick look at the Homestead Grays' residency in the District of Columbia. In the reissue part of the show, we return to “The Turtle Who Was Hated By God,” which is exactly what it sounds like, make a quick stop with a catcher who was heavily into OBP, and finally view racist mascots through the lens of the 17th century Pequot War.   The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent 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?

Show Summary:Host Bill Donohue begines the show by welcoming author Stephen W. Dittmore, who presents his latest work, Jim Gilliam: The Forgotten Dodger. This episode elucidates the life and accomplishments of Jim Gilliam, a pivotal yet underappreciated figure in Dodgers history, who played an integral role in seven World Series and earned four championship rings. Dittmore articulates the reasons behind Gilliam's obscurity in baseball history, despite his significant contributions and statistical prominence. Later, Bill talks with writer and historical consultant Marshall Garvey, who unveils insights from his book, Interstate '85: The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me World Series. Garvey's narrative weaves together the cultural and sporting tapestry of the 1985 World Series, capturing the essence of a momentous event that resonated far beyond the confines of the baseball field. Together, these discussions offer a profound exploration of baseball's rich history and its enduring impact on American culture.Show Details:The dialogue commences with the esteemed host, Bill Donohue, who warmly welcomes Stephen W. Dittmore, the author of the recently published tome, "Jim Gilliam: The Forgotten Dodger." This text seeks to illuminate the life and career of Jim Gilliam, a pivotal yet oft-overlooked figure in the annals of baseball history. Dittmore elucidates the reasons behind Gilliam's moniker as the 'Forgotten Dodger,' arguing that while he may not be a household name like others from the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers, his contributions to the team are significant. He played an instrumental role in seven World Series and secured four championship titles, yet paradoxically, he remains absent from the discussions surrounding Hall of Fame candidacy. Dittmore's compelling narrative delves into Gilliam's background, tracing his journey from the Negro Leagues to becoming the National League Rookie of the Year in 1953, and highlights his remarkable versatility as a player who excelled in multiple positions. The conversation underscores the need to revisit and reassess the legacies of such players, ensuring that their contributions are duly recognized and celebrated.Following the enlightening discussion with Dittmore, the focus transitions to another literary talent, Marshall Garvey. He introduces his work, "Interstate '85: The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me World Series," which captures the cultural and historical significance of the 1985 World Series. This narrative intricately weaves together the threads of sports and popular culture, reflecting on how the events of that year transcended mere baseball to encapsulate a unique historical moment. Garvey elaborates on the evocative imagery of Interstate 70, which serves as a metaphor for the journeys undertaken by the players and the intertwined fates of the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals. His book not only recounts the series itself but also delves into the aftermath and the enduring legacy it left on both franchises. The discussion highlights the importance of remembering these historical contexts, as they shape the identities of teams and their cities, making baseball a significant cultural touchstone beyond the game itself.Takeaways: Jim Gilliam, despite his significant contributions to the Dodgers, remains largely unrecognized in baseball history, receiving no Hall of Fame votes. The 1985 World Series, marked by the infamous missed call by umpire Don Denkinger,...

For so long, we've thought that the 4,000 hit club was one of the most exclusive in baseball history, with just two members. But on the 98th anniversary of Ty Cobb's 4,000th hit, Mike and Bill are joined by Sports Reference's Executive Director of Design, Negro Leagues expert and Latin baseball researcher Adam Darowski (@adarowski.bsky.social) to talk about his presentation at SABR 53, and how much larger that club actually is.

Our summer roadtrip rolls on this week with a deep dive into one of the Queen City's most overlooked sports stories with baseball author Al Lautenslager - whose new book "Cincinnati Soul" explores the remarkable but brief legacy of the Cincinnati Tigers, the city's first official Negro Leagues baseball team. Discover how DeHart Hubbard, America's first Black Olympic gold medalist, founded the Tigers as a dual-circuit minor league (Indiana-Ohio League & Negro Southern League) outfit in 1934 - eventually joining as a charter member of the 1937 Negro American League - now an officially recognized as "major league" by Major League Baseball. Lautenslager shares fascinating details about the team's home at Crosley Field, where they wore hand-me-down Cincinnati Reds uniforms and drew crowds that sometimes exceeded that of their benefactors. Also: The Tigers' historic 44-36 record and second-place finish in 1937 Five All-Star selections including legendary manager Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe Key players like submarine pitcher Porter Moss and future Brooklyn Dodgers MLB signee Roy Partlow The team's cultural impact on Cincinnati's African American community during segregation Why the franchise folded despite on-field success and community support + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):   "Cincinnati Soul": https://amzn.to/3TVtQXI   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Old Fort Baseball Co.

Send us a textBaseball's Two-Way Greats - Pitching/Batting Stars from Ruth and Rogan to Ohtani by Chris Jensen. Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest two-way player in #MLB history? Chris Jensen isn't afraid to take on big subjects and 19th century baseball had its fair share of two-way stars.  Chris breaks down the greatest two-way players into 19th century, pre-integration era (1947), Negro Leagues, Latin Leagues, and of course the post-integrated era. Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe was both a pitcher and catcher and would sometimes play behind the plate in one game of a doubleheader and then pitch the other game! Babe Ruth is the first name you think of when you think two-way players but how about John Montgomery Ward? Or Negro League star player and manager Bullet Rogan? Was he really better than Satchel Paige? Chris believes Shohei is amazing just like we all do and gives reasons why Shohei might be the best of them all although he'd rather not categorize things that way.  Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Episode 299 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're finishing our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.It could be argued that Oscar Charleston was one of the greatest baseball players of the 20th Century.After lying about his age to get into the U.S. Army at 15, Charleston left the Philippines to pursue a career in professional baseball in 1915 with the Indianapolis ABCs.Though barred from playing in Major League Baseball due to his skin color, Charleston was the premier player of his era.Though a pitcher originally, the left-handed Charleston found a home in center field where established himself as one of baseball's finest “five tool players” of all time for a number of teams.Compared to such greats as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, Charleston was electric at the plate and in the field.He won three Triple Crowns, had a lifetime .365 batting average in American play, helped the Pittsburgh Crawfords beat the New York Cubans in the 1935 Championship and was a three-time All-Star in the Negro Leagues.His play overseas in Cuba during the 1930s was incredible, and he remains a legendary figure in baseball to this day. Though other players who came after him in the Negro Leagues might receive more notoriety, Charleston is in a class of his own for what he put on display during his career.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 #oscarcharleston#baseballplayer#baseball

His father Sonny Smith was a drummer who performed on the Avenue for decades with his band The Original Chromatics. Over the years, Sonny played with legendary Naptown musicians like David Baker and Erroll Grandy. Sonny was also a professional athlete, who played basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters and played baseball in the Negro Leagues with the Chicago American Giants. Smith's mother Margaret Smith was a music teacher in the Indianapolis Public School system. His brother Sparky Smith achieved success as a flute player in the local jazz scene.

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

We welcome to our microphones award-winning author, cultural critic and Washington University in St. Louis professor Gerald Early, whose new book "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America" is a sweeping chronicle of Black Americans' extraordinary influence on the game of baseball — from the sport's formative days in the wake of the Civil War, through the heyday of the Negro Leagues, to the modern era. A leading voice in the conversation about race, sports, and American identity, Early also served as an advisor to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's landmark new exhibit, Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball. Together, the book and exhibit offer a timely and powerful retelling of baseball's past — one that acknowledges long-overlooked figures like Moses Fleetwood Walker, Rube Foster, and Cool Papa Bell, and reexamines well-known legends like Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds through a deeper historical lens. We discuss how Play Harder arrives at a moment of renewed focus on the Negro Leagues, as Major League Baseball officially recognizes them as major leagues and integrates their stats into the game's official record.  Early explains why this recognition matters, how the Negro Leagues shaped Black identity and community, and what the story of Black baseball says about America itself. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America": https://amzn.to/4dzBmRj   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old Fort Baseball Co.

Episode 297 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.Someone who could be considered the “Black Ty Cobb,” Cool Papa Bell was a generational ballplayer.Born in Mississippi, Bell was originally a successful knuckleball pitcher after he moved to St. Louis, Missouri in the 1920s. He began his career in the Negro Leagues as a pitcher, for the St. Louis Stars.However, his ridiculous base stealing speed, ability to hit, ability to learn how to switch-hit and fielding talent in the outfield led to a position change with monumental success.His career with the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Homestead Grays was incredible, and he was one of the league's brightest stars. He hit .337 for his career in the Negro Leagues, won two World Series and won eight batting titles. Moreover, his career overseas in Mexico saw him win a Triple Crown.Though he sadly never was able to play in Major League Baseball, his dominance and big play ability as a baserunner made him a legend. Then in 1974 he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Episode 296 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.Arguably one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Satchel Paige was an absolute legend on the mound.After he ran into legal trouble in his youth in Alabama, Paige focused on his love of baseball and learned to pitch in a reform school. Upon his release, the young right-handed Paige became a star in the Negro Leagues. Armed with a devastating fastball, an array of breaking pitches and multiple release points, Paige dominated the competition as a member of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Kansas City Monarchs.Paige was a six-time All-Star, won a World Series in 1942 and even displayed his talents in the California Winter League against legends like Joe DiMaggio. Paige even found success outside the Negro Leagues in places like Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.In 1947, Paige and Bob Feller went on a barnstorming tour of the country which played integrated exhibition games between some of the top talent in baseball.Though a past injury had limited his fastball, Paige became the first African American pitcher in Major League Baseball in 1948 for the Cleveland Indians. What made that even sweeter was the fact that he pitched in and was part of Cleveland's World Series winning team that season.Paige then made two All-Star teams in 1952 and 1953 as a member of the St. Louis Browns in 1952 and 1953, and even pitched at age 59 for the Kansas City Athletics in 1965!Paige ultimately received the highest honor in the sport in 1971 when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.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 #satchelpaige#baseballplayer#baseball

Infinite Inning 324: The Way We Live Now (Again) In a largely improvised episode we reexperience current events through the lens of Joe DiMaggio's 1941 hitting streak, counting the days while the war stays away, while once again a government effort requires us to rally ‘round Jackie Robinson—and Abraham Lincoln too, and we do so while checking in on the better brand of shortstops offered by the Negro Leagues' Newark Eagles and Philadelphia Stars (and shame Connie Mack one more time). The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they'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?
