There's assuredly a good newsletter post in this, but too bad, because the ol' brain is rattled by being reminded that Edgardo Alfonzo played 12 games for the 2006 Blue Jays (after he'd already been released that year by the Angels)… and after three weeks, got released from Toronto. Fonzie then went to Bridgeport, had his contract purchased by the Mets… and never made it back to Queens, playing 42 games for Triple-A Norfolk.The way Alfonzo went after that? He played for the 2007 and 2008 Long Island Ducks, the 2008 Tigres de Quintana Roo, the 2009 Yomiuri Giants, and finally the Newark Bears in their last season, 2010 — a team managed by Tim Raines that included Elijah Dukes, Carl Everett, Nook Logan, Scott Spiezio, and Daryle Ward. And they had Armando Benitez striking out 52 hitters in 34.2 innings for the best K/9 rate in the Atlantic League. How the heck did that team finish in last place? This is a public episode.

Actor (I Know This Much Is True, Red Dead Redemption II) and Infinity Podcast co-host Scott Thomas introduces me to an album that is epic in nearly every possible way. We discussed Titus Andronicus' second album, The Monitor, a Civil War-themed treatment of grappling with life as a young white man in an “uptight” North Jersey suburb. We talked about Scott's current projects, the experience he had listening to The Monitor for the first time and what (nearly) each of the album's 10 tracks means.I had a first-of-its-kind fail on this episode. I unintentionally skipped the track, Theme From “Cheers,” so my apologies to those looking forward to a discussion of that song. For those who don't know this album, it isn't actually the theme from “Cheers.”In No Future Part Three: Escape From No Future, Patrick Stickles sings a line “senior year in Mahwah,” which I had interpreted as his (or his character's) senior year at Mahwah High School. I later realized that, given that Stickles attended Ramapo College in Mahwah, he was probably referring to his senior year of college.In discussing the reference in A More Perfect Union to the Newark Bears baseball team, I had said they were or may still be an independent league team. The Bears folded in 2013.Scott had recommended the series that the Dissect podcast did earlier this year on on Kanye West's YEEZUS.

We're back for 2021! We talk with the former play-by-play broadcaster for the Los Angeles Angels Victor Rojas! Victor Rojas - Victor Rojas returns to the television booth for his 11th season as the play-by-play voice of the Angels. Rojas will also join fellow broadcaster Mark Gubicza for an 11th season as an analyst for “Angels Live”, the Angels pre-and post-game shows. During the 2011 MLB playoffs, TBS welcomed Rojas as a play-by-play voice during the National League Divisional Series (Milwaukee vs. Arizona). Rojas joined the Angels broadcast team prior to the 2010 season after serving as a studio host for the MLB Network since its inception. Before joining MLB Network in late December 2008, Rojas spent five seasons (2004-08) as a member of the Texas Rangers television and radio broadcast teams, calling play-by-play as well as providing analysis. Rojas went to Texas after spending the 2003 season doing both play-by-play and analysis for Arizona Diamondbacks broadcasts. Prior to breaking into Major League broadcasting with the D-backs, Rojas spent two seasons calling television and radio play-by-play for the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League, where he was also hired as the team's Assistant General Manager before becoming General Manager. A former pitcher in the Angels organization, Rojas' career eventually led to coaching. The son of former Major League All-Star and Angels manager Cookie Rojas, Victor was on the Florida Marlins baseball staff in 1993 and served as pitching coach at Rio Grande in the Texas-Louisiana League in 1994. The Miami, FL native played his college baseball at the College of the Desert in Palm Springs, California, and Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. Rojas resides in Trophy Club, Texas with his wife Kim and their three children. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/madprops/support

Newark native and legendary sports writer Jerry Izenberg is already in 16 Halls of Fame but he had never written a novel, until now.

Izenberg is internationally known for his 15 non-fiction books and sports columns. The 90-year old is still working for the Star Ledger with the title columnist emeritus. While deciding to write his first novel, the master storyteller says he took the advice he was given a long time ago. "I've written 15 books but they're all non-fiction. I've written a play. I've done a little poetry collection. I wanted to do something. I wanted to write a novel, I'm 90-years old, I better

His didactic credentials consist of a Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy and also a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with Summa Cum Laude honors.  His undergraduate degrees were awarded from Farleigh Dickenson University in Madison, NJ and Barry University in North Miami, Florida.  He is an active member in the American Physical Therapy Association, Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Divisions, along with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Academy of Sports Medicine.  He also participates in the National Safety for Youth Sports Organization and is on nationwide forums for sharing his expertise for treatment and training. While practicing in Florida, he taught athletic trainers at the Florida Atlantic University.  He was the Strength and Conditioning Coach for Chris Evertt’s Tennis Academy and Chris Carter’s FAST Program.  As a physical therapist, he was the team therapist for the Harrid Dance Conservatory Academy and many of the local high schools and colleges while working for the Palm Beach Institute of Sports Medicine.   Here in New Jersey, he was the therapist for the Newark Bears and the New Jersey Nets for SportsCare Institute.  He also was the Strength and Conditioning Coach for figure skaters at the Ice House in Hackensack.  He ran the US Figure Skating Adult Training Camp off-ice strength and conditioning program.   Vince conducts off-ice training for 200 hockey players each summer with the Give ‘Em Up Nothing Goalie Training facility in Saddle Brook, NJ. Infinity Fitness & Sports Institute was the training team for the New Jersey Mariners and many of the youth athletes in the area.  Vince has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cal Ripken’s Baseball Training Camps. He has twice been a guest speaker on News 12 New Jersey, where he spoke of athletic injuries and treatment, and children and weight training.  He has been a guest on ESPN’s NFL Countdown, performing functional rehabilitation for professional football players.  Vince has published several articles relating to youth training, athletic performance and injury reduction.  Vince has also appeared on a new television-broadcasting network in the NY, NJ, and CT area, which features high school athletics.  This station, MSG Varsity, has featured him twice in their broadcasts, discussing youth athletics, injury prevention, and overuse syndromes. Presently, he is running his solo physical therapy, personal and sports training facility.  His physical therapy practice includes all types of patients of all ages, from the active aging with medical and orthopedic post-operative pathologies, to the young, injured athlete, and the infant born with various challenges.  Additionally, he treats numerous athletes, such as Olympians, professionals, amateurs, including, but not limited to, the fields of football, basketball, baseball, soccer, softball, ice-skating, karate, tennis, dance, golf, and hockey. On the other hand, many of the patients require care simply from work-related injuries, surgeries, neurological impairments, wound care, home care, and the like. As for the personal training aspect of his business, Vince has the same outcomes as his rehabilitation…RESULTS. He has trained great athletes and hopefuls from all sports, ages, and genders.  He has trained the five-year-old figure skater, the female all-state softball players, and the college and professional football player, to name a few.  He is also a two-time NPC NJ body building champion.  His photos has been published in, Body Building: A Realistic Approach, by Frank Melfa. Vince was featured in The Bergen Record in 2007, and again in 2008, for the exceptional work he has done with his patients and athletes.  Vince continues to think “outside the box,” as he searches for new and resourceful ways to help people obtain their optimal performance, whether it be in athletics or life.  As he practices research-based physical therapy and personal training, he believes that one should always test new ideas.  The practice conducts research studies on sports-related injuries and treatments to offer the best possible care for its patients and the public. Lastly, Vince has trademarked a comprehensive physical examination for athletes, called the MAPP, and is working with the New Jersey Pediatric Society to push its implementation by the sports world for all people who participate in competitive sports.  The MAPP examines personal readiness to participate in sports, focusing on weaknesses that could lead to injuries when the stress of sports is placed on the person.  He feels that this will greatly reduce the amount of sports-related injuries and even fatalities that we are seeing in the news today. Vince is always searching for ways to educate others.  He is constantly writing articles for submission to current magazines.  Some of his published articles include:  “Basic Weight Training and Conditioning for Children:  A Must Before Functional and Power Training,” in Advance for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants, September 12, 2005; “Basic Weight Training and Conditioning for Youth Athletes,” in the Coaches Quarterly, April 3, 2008; “Are You Within the R.A.A.D.A.R. Zone?” in the NJ Cops Magazine, January 2011.  These are just a few of his published articles.  Vince has created and trade marked a Human Behavior Awareness Program called RAADAR™.  RAADAR™ is an acronym that stands for Responsibility, Accountability, Appreciation, Determination, Attitude, and Respect.  These six principles intertwine with the eleven essential elements of human life: Family, Faith, Friends, Education, Charity, Work, Skill, Training, Game Day, Nutrition, and Rest.  He has adapted his program for use with student athletes, school systems, communities, and the workplace.  This program is about being positive and expressing/behaving the “Right Way.”  With the use of positive reinforcement, the RAADAR™ Program encourages optimal human behavior for success in all aspects of life.  RAADAR™ is growing and spreading quickly throughout local communities. Vince hopes to have the RAADAR™ program be integrated in all parts of life, nationwide.  RAADAR™ was featured in The Bergen Record in February of 2016.  At this time, Vince is in the process of lecturing on RAADAR™ and publishing his first book. Information on his RAADAR™ program can be found on his YouTube Channel. Lastly, Vince has been addressing the epidemic of Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries among youth athletes.  He has been running educational symposiums at select locations to educate on ACL injury prevention and pre-habilitation.  Vince has a vast amount of knowledge and experience with ACL injury prevention, pre-habilitation, and rehabilitation. 

Victor Rojas was a baseball player himself, and not only that he is the son of a player and a coach.  But it wasn't until a little later that he got into broadcasting...and player procurement...at the same time.  Victor talks all about being the voice and GM of the Newark Bears to start his career and what led him to MLB.com and then the Diamondbacks, Rangers and Angels.  Follow the Angels broadcaster on twitter @VictorRojas and follow the pod @PxPCast.
