Late Friday night, I heard about his passing, but this wasn't confirmed. Saturday afternoon, the news was true that we had lost the great Rickey Henderson. The Man Of Steel, Henderson played 25 seasons, with multiple MLB records including, leadoff home runs, stolen bases, walks, and runs scored. After losing Willie Mays, Pete Rose, and Orlando Cepeda, this was a shock, and they all will be missed. Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, and Norte Dame all advanced to the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs. Thanks for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will be back on the 31st, with the 2024 end of the year special.

(Antevíspera del Natalicio de Juan Marichal) En su debut en las Grandes Ligas en 1960, ganó 2‑0 concediendo un solo hit o imparable al equipo contrario. En 1963 lanzó un juego sin hits ni carreras (la primera vez que un beisbolista hispano lograra esa hazaña en las Ligas Mayores), y dos semanas después lanzó dieciséis entradas en un juego para dar la victoria a su equipo 1‑0. A lo largo de dieciséis temporadas como lanzador en las Grandes Ligas, ganó 243 partidos y perdió sólo 142, ponchando a 2.303 bateadores y permitiendo un promedio de sólo 2.89 carreras ganadas por partido. En las trece temporadas en que intervino en más de once partidos, ganó al menos dieciocho juegos en ocho de ellas, ganó más de veinte juegos en seis de ellas, y ganó al menos veinticinco juegos en tres de ellas. Terminó su carrera con 244 juegos completos como abridor, uno más que el número de juegos que ganó.   De ahí que el inmortal Roberto Clemente dijera de él: «No importa lo que él lanza; cuando lo tiene, te derrota»; y que, refiriéndose a su singular estilo y su efectividad, el temible bateador Hank Aaron afirmara: «Jamás he visto a nadie tan bueno como él.» No es de extrañarse, entonces, que Juan Antonio Marichal Sánchez, «El Dandy Dominicano», figurara como lanzador en ocho ocasiones en el Partido de las Estrellas, siendo elegido como el «Jugador más valioso» del partido de 1965; ni que pasara a ocupar su merecido lugar en el Salón de la Fama en 1983. Los Gigantes de San Francisco, el equipo por el que jugó durante catorce temporadas, celebraron en su estadio ese 10 de julio el Día del Salón de la Fama de Juan Marichal.1 A fin de perpetuar su memoria, el 21 de mayo de 2005 volvieron a rendirle homenaje, esta vez fuera del estadio, donde develaron una estatua de 2,74 metros de alto de bronce del «Dandy Dominicano». «Simplemente fue el mejor lanzador de la década de 1960», declaró Peter Magowan, el propietario del equipo. Esa tarde los Gigantes, reconociendo su legado hispano, hicieron algo por primera vez en sus 123 años de existencia: vistieron uniformes con el nombre «Gigantes» en español. Al homenaje asistió, entre otros dignatarios, el presidente de la República Dominicana, Leonel Fernández; así como asistieron, entre otros compañeros, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Felipe Alou y Orlando Cepeda. Dirigiéndose al público, Juan Marichal dijo emocionado: «Soy yo el que les agradezco por todos los recuerdos. Dejé mi corazón en San Francisco», aludiendo así a la famosa canción en inglés que popularizaron Tony Bennett y Frank Sinatra.2 ¡Qué bueno es que les rindamos tributo a las estrellas que han alumbrado nuestra vida, y mejor aún si lo hacemos cuando pueden disfrutar del momento con nosotros, en lugar de esperar hasta después de su muerte! Reprimamos la tentación de criticar a los que invierten grandes sumas de dinero en tales homenajes, y reconozcamos más bien la verdad de las palabras de Jesucristo respecto a la objeción de Judas Iscariote de que el perfume que María de Betania acababa de derramar sobre Él pudo haberse vendido por muchísimo dinero para dárselo a los pobres. «Ella ha hecho una obra hermosa conmigo —dijo Jesús—. A los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, y podrán ayudarlos cuando quieran; pero a mí no me van a tener siempre.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan Marichal Hall of Fame Day: July 10, 1983, San Francisco Giants (San Francisco: Woodford Associates, 1983). 2 Dagoberto Galán, «La figura de la semana: Juan Marichal» En línea 25 julio 2007; «Juan Marichal: su vida», Montecristi Digital, junio 2005 En línea 25 julio 2007. 3 Mr 14:6,7; Jn 12:1-8

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.

(Natalicio de Orlando Cepeda) Tenía sólo veinte años de edad en 1958, su primer año en las Grandes Ligas, y sin embargo contribuyó a tal grado al éxito de su equipo, los Gigantes de San Francisco, que fue elegido por votación unánime como el Novato del Año de la Liga Nacional. Esa temporada tuvo un promedio de bateo de .312, impulsando 96 carreras y conectando 188 hits o imparables, entre éstos 38 dobles, 4 triples y 25 cuadrangulares. Nueve años más tarde, volvió a contribuir notablemente al éxito de su club, llevando esta vez a los Cardenales de San Luis a coronarse campeones de la Serie Mundial. En aquella inolvidable temporada de 1967 tuvo un promedio de bateo de .325, impulsando más carreras que nadie en la Liga Nacional, 111, y conectando 183 hits, entre éstos 37 dobles y 25 cuadrangulares, por lo que fue elegido, nuevamente por votación unánime, como el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga. Era la primera vez que esa elección había sido unánime desde el año 1936. En 1961, cuando aún vestía el uniforme de los Gigantes, encabezó la Liga Nacional con 142 carreras impulsadas y 46 cuadrangulares. A lo largo de su carrera, superó el promedio de bateo de .300 en nueve de sus diecisiete temporadas, impulsó 1.365 carreras y conectó 379 cuadrangulares. Conectó más de veinticinco cuadrangulares en ocho temporadas, y fue el primero en conectar más de veinte como jugador en cuatro equipos: los Gigantes de San Francisco, los Cardenales de San Luis, los Bravos de Atlanta y los Medias Rojas de Boston. Por eso los aficionados al béisbol lo eligieron una de las Estrellas de la Liga Nacional en siete ocasiones, y a la postre, en 1999, el Comité de Veteranos votó en favor de que ingresara al Salón de la Fama, ocupando así un lugar al lado de su paisano Roberto Clemente y de su compañero de equipo Juan Marichal. Se trata de Orlando Manuel Cepeda, potente bateador de Puerto Rico al que le tocó superar una lesión tras otra sufridas en las rodillas. No dejó de jugar con garra, haciendo honor al apodo Baby Bull («el becerro» en inglés) que le dieron por ser hijo y heredero del talento de Pedro «El Toro» Cepeda, que fue sin duda el mejor pelotero puertorriqueño de su época. En su autobiografía, Orlando «Peruchín» Cepeda cuenta en detalle cómo jugó con todo y ascendió hasta la cumbre del béisbol, sólo para descender hasta la celda de una cárcel por jugar con la marihuana. Luego de diez meses tras las rejas y otros dos de rehabilitación, sufrió el oprobio de haber llegado a ser la vergüenza de su pueblo y una deshonra a la memoria de su padre, y sintió el vacío que deja la separación de su esposa y de sus hijos. De ahí que aquel antiguo «becerro del béisbol» dijera: «Necesitaba algo más grande, más fuerte que yo mismo.»1 De ahí en adelante se entregó a la difícil tarea de recomponer su vida y de advertir a niños y a jóvenes que con las drogas no se juega, ni con quienes las consumen o las venden.2 Tomemos a pecho esta lección que le costó tan caro aprender al ex ídolo puertorriqueño, la misma que el sabio Salomón resumió en el siguiente proverbio: «No abras zanjas si no quieres caer en ellas, ni hagas rodar piedras si no quieres que te aplasten.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Orlando Cepeda con Herb Fagen, Baby Bull: From Hardball to Hard Time and Back [El becerro: Del béisbol al presidio y de vuelta al béisbol] (Dallas: Taylor Publishing, 1998), pp. 167‑87. 2 Ibíd., pp. 215‑16. 3 Pr 26:27 (TLA)

When the Chicago Cubs brought in highly desired manager Craig Counsell, the thought was that there could possibly be joy in Wrigleyville in 2024.

They also compare this season to the Cubs' 2023, when they went on a roll and decided not to be sellers at the deadline. Did they learn their lesson or will they make the same mistake twice?Later on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys are joined by Pittsburgh Pirates social media hit, Saxboy, to talk about how his enthusiasm for the game of baseball and the Steel City has grown with the success of the Pirates.

If you wanted someone who could hit for power in the expansion era, you wanted Orlando Cepeda. The so-called 'Baby Bull' would be in contention for the leading batting, home run, RBI, slugging, and total bases awards every year for his first five years. He would alos be the first Puerto Rican All-Star, taking to the field in 1959. His first nine years saw him play first base for the San Francisco Giants (at the same time as Willie McCovey was also staking his claim to the same position). At the time he was second in the Giants' all time right-hand slugging list, just behind Willie Mays. The forever Giant saw his #30 retired  in 1999, and he is one of only four Giants immortalised with a bronze statue at Oracle Park. He wasn't always on the Giants roster though, having played for six different teams. Following injuries in 1965, he was traded to the St Louis Cardinals. Once settled, it was time to rack up some more records.  1967 saw Cepeda unanimously voted the National League's MVP. He was only the second player to achieve this distinction following the New York Giants' Carl Hubbell achieving a clean sweep of the votes in 1933; he's also one of only five players to win both the Rookie of the Year and the MVP unanimously; and the first Latin player to win RBI and Home Run titles. For today's classic, we join Cepeda early in that key 1967 season. The Cardinals are visiting Shea Stadium to take on the New York Mets. Cepeda is batting fourth, and he's going to have a rather productive game. So will the Mets… The team of Lindsey Nelson, Ralph Kiner & Bob Murphy take you through the various innings on the Mets Radio Network. You can find the boxscore here.  This game was played on May 20th, 1967. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

New Mets outfielder Tommy Pham turns 35 today. Among players born on March 8, he's fourth all-time in wins above replacement, behind Dick Allen, Jim Rice, and Carl Furillo. (He's tied on Baseball-Reference's list with Harry Lord, a pre-World War I outfielder for the Red Sox and Tigers, and let's nicely project Pham as better than replacement level this year.)When Pham makes his first Mets appearance, he'll be only the second member of the team with a March 8 birthday, ever. The only other one was lefty pitcher Willard Hunter, who went 4-9 with a 5.06 ERA over 68 appearances for New York from 1962-64. Hunter debuted with the Dodgers on April 16 of that first year of Mets baseball… and immediately showed himself to be 1962 Mets material by coming into a game that Los Angeles trailed by eight runs in the sixth inning, and immediately issuing a walk to Harvey Kuennn and giving up a single to Chuck Hiller before serving up a three-run ding dong to Willie Mays.Hunter got to face Mays again in his debut, and walked him as part of a seven-run inning that included Orlando Cepeda stealing home.That was it for Hunter as a Dodger (one appearance, 40.50 ERA) and they sent him to the Mets on May 25 as the player to be named later in the Charlie Neal-Lee Walls trade from the previous December.On July 4, 1962, Hunter returned with the Mets to the scene of his disastrous major league debut, Candlestick Park, this time with a clean slate as the starting pitcher in the back end of the holiday doubleheader. The Mets had lost the first game when Jay Hook couldn't get out of the first inning, Mays tripled, and Willie McCovey hit a pair of homers. But for the nightcap, they had Hunter, familiar with the scene and with a score to settle against the Giants for spoiling his first game as a big leaguer.Frank Thomas (not that one) started the bottom of the first inning — after Neal had bounced in to a 4-6-3 DP to end the top of the first, tremendous 1962 Metsing — with an error on a Kuenn grounder. After Jim Davenport walked, Hunter got his rematch with Mays, who promptly blasted a three-run homer. But, hey, since the Mets had used so much bullpen, and Hunter didn't give up anything else in the first, he stayed in there… and gave up a two-run homer to Mays in the third inning. The Mets lost, 10-3.Mays also singled against Hunter at the Polo Grounds on July 15. Overall, they faced each other for nine plate appearances: Mays was 5-for-8 with three homers, eight RBI, a walk, and on June 3, 1962, in the ninth inning of a 6-1 Giants cruise, one beautiful strikeout that Hunter could remember for the rest of his life. He died two years ago, at the age of 85, having recorded strikeouts in his major league career of Mays, Lou Brock, Eddie Mathews, Ron Santo, Mays, Cepeda, and Roberto Clemente. And the only guys who touched him up for more than one homer? Two of the greatest to ever swing a bat — three each for Mays and Henry Aaron.Hunter's final career appearance was a rough inning in St. Louis in the last game of the 1964 season. After giving up a two-run homer to future Yankees broadcaster Bill White, the last batter Hunter faced was future Mets broadcaster Tim McCarver, who hit a two-run double to drive in Ken Boyer and Dick Groat, but himself was thrown out at third on the play.That's not exactly how Mets-Padres in San Diego ended in 1986 with McCarver at the mic, but we'd be remiss not to remember that, and to continue celebrating the late McCarver's legacy as a Mets voice.

Let’s learn about Baseball Hall of Famer, Orlando Cepeda as  Ed Kasputis interviews baseball historian, Bruce Markusen.

The St. Louis Cardinals trade Orlando Cepeda to the Atlanta Braves for Joe Torre on this day in 1969.

October 6, 1969 In what would be his last-ever postseason appearance, Hank Aaron put the Braves up 2–0 in the first inning with a two-run home run, his third of the series, off of Gary Gentry. Once again, the downfall of the Braves was their inability to stave off the hot Met hitters. Tommie Agee homered in the third, and Ken Boswell hit a two-run home run in the fourth to put the Mets on top 3–2 off of starter Pat Jarvis. Orlando Cepeda gave Braves fans a glimmer of hope by hitting a two-run home run off Nolan Ryan in the fifth after a two-out walk to put the Braves back on top, 4–3. But, in the bottom of the inning Ryan singled with one out and Wayne Garrett then homered to give the Mets a 5–4 lead, which they would not lose. Cleon Jones's double knocked Jarvis out of the game. Boswell added an RBI single off of George Stone, and next inning, Jerry Grote hit a leadoff double off of Stone and Agee singled him home off of Cecil Upshaw. Ryan pitched seven innings in relief of Gentry for the win as the Mets advanced to their first World Series.

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.

Can you believe this year is the 46th anniversary of Orlando Cepeda's final season in the major leagues? Personally, it is impossible for me to believe or accept that. Regardless, on this episode, we discuss what it sounds like to rewind, the lack of commemorative plaques where old baseball stadiums used to be, and how Catfish Hunter got his nickname.

(Natalicio de Orlando Cepeda) Tenía sólo veinte años de edad en 1958, su primer año en las Grandes Ligas, y sin embargo contribuyó a tal grado al éxito de su equipo, los Gigantes de San Francisco, que fue elegido por votación unánime como el Novato del Año de la Liga Nacional. Esa temporada tuvo un promedio de bateo de .312, impulsando 96 carreras y conectando 188 hits o imparables, entre éstos 38 dobles, 4 triples y 25 cuadrangulares. Nueve años más tarde, volvió a contribuir notablemente al éxito de su club, llevando esta vez a los Cardenales de San Luis a coronarse campeones de la Serie Mundial. En aquella inolvidable temporada de 1967 tuvo un promedio de bateo de .325, impulsando más carreras que nadie en la Liga Nacional, 111, y conectando 183 hits, entre éstos 37 dobles y 25 cuadrangulares, por lo que fue elegido, nuevamente por votación unánime, como el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga. Era la primera vez que esa elección había sido unánime desde el año 1936. En 1961, cuando aún vestía el uniforme de los Gigantes, encabezó la Liga Nacional con 142 carreras impulsadas y 46 cuadrangulares. A lo largo de su carrera, superó el promedio de bateo de .300 en nueve de sus diecisiete temporadas, impulsó 1.365 carreras y conectó 379 cuadrangulares. Conectó más de veinticinco cuadrangulares en ocho temporadas, y fue el primero en conectar más de veinte como jugador en cuatro equipos: los Gigantes de San Francisco, los Cardenales de San Luis, los Bravos de Atlanta y los Medias Rojas de Boston. Por eso los aficionados al béisbol lo eligieron una de las Estrellas de la Liga Nacional en siete ocasiones, y a la postre, en 1999, el Comité de Veteranos votó en favor de que ingresara al Salón de la Fama, ocupando así un lugar al lado de su paisano Roberto Clemente y de su compañero de equipo Juan Marichal. Se trata de Orlando Manuel Cepeda, potente bateador de Puerto Rico al que le tocó superar una lesión tras otra sufridas en las rodillas. No dejó de jugar con garra, haciendo honor al apodo Baby Bull («el becerro» en inglés) que le dieron por ser hijo y heredero del talento de Pedro «El Toro» Cepeda, que fue sin duda el mejor pelotero puertorriqueño de su época. En su autobiografía, Orlando «Peruchín» Cepeda cuenta en detalle cómo jugó con todo y ascendió hasta la cumbre del béisbol, sólo para descender hasta la celda de una cárcel por jugar con la marihuana. Luego de diez meses tras las rejas y otros dos de rehabilitación, sufrió el oprobio de haber llegado a ser la vergüenza de su pueblo y una deshonra a la memoria de su padre, y sintió el vacío que deja la separación de su esposa y de sus hijos. De ahí que aquel antiguo «becerro del béisbol» dijera: «Necesitaba algo más grande, más fuerte que yo mismo.»1 De ahí en adelante se entregó a la difícil tarea de recomponer su vida y de advertir a niños y a jóvenes que con las drogas no se juega, ni con quienes las consumen o las venden.2 Tomemos a pecho esta lección que le costó tan caro aprender al ex ídolo puertorriqueño, la misma que el sabio Salomón resumió en el siguiente proverbio: «No abras zanjas si no quieres caer en ellas, ni hagas rodar piedras si no quieres que te aplasten.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Orlando Cepeda con Herb Fagen, Baby Bull: From Hardball to Hard Time and Back [El becerro: Del béisbol al presidio y de vuelta al béisbol] (Dallas: Taylor Publishing, 1998), pp. 167‑87. 2 Ibíd., pp. 215‑16. 3 Pr 26:27 (TLA)

When you think of great movies about major league baseball, there aren’t too many to choose from. “Bull Durham” was about the minor leagues. “Field of Dreams” was about ghosts of former players meeting on a cornfield in Iowa to play again. “The Sandlot” and “Bad News Bears” were about kids and their love for the national pastime. And “A League of Their Own” and “The Natural” captured baseball, but baseball of the past. In 1989 only one film was able to capture major league baseball in modern times. And that film took the longsuffering Cleveland Indians all the way to the playoffs and “Major League” became a bonafide hit movie for baseball fans everywhere. On this episode, Tim Williams shares his memories and guest co-host Charlie Cotter shares his first-time watch reactions of this 80's comedy classic.  They also share favorite lines, characters, scenes, and behind the scenes trivia along the way. Here are additional behind the scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode: - Pedro Cerrano, according to author and director David S. Ward, is partially based on Orlando Cepeda and Wade Boggs, who would superstitiously eat chicken before every game. - Willie Mays Hays, according to Ward, is based on Rickey Henderson. - Ryan Duren was the inspiration for the character Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, according to Ward. - Eddie Harris appears to be inspired by Gaylord Perry, who was well known for using outside substances to enhance his pitches. - Jake Taylor may be inspired by Carlton Fisk, a catcher who had a long career with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. Lou Brown mentions early on that Taylor was an All-Star in Boston. - According to David S. Ward, Wesley Snipes was not a very skilled baseball player in real life, never having played much of it before. Ward said Snipes was so awful at throwing a baseball that they did not have any scenes of him throwing a ball.  - Many tricks were used to make the actors seem like they were as good as their characters. For example, the pitching mound in a real baseball stadium is 60'6" away from the home plate, but to give the impression that Charlie Sheen's 85 mph fastball was traveling 100mph, they moved the mound up 10 feet and shot from behind the plate so the viewer wouldn't notice the distance difference. Also, all Wesley Snipes' running scenes are shown in slow motion to give the impression that he is running faster than he actually is. - In the scene where Jake invades Lynn's party, one of the guests asks how much Jake makes in the Majors. He replies, "I make the league minimum." At the time (1989) the MLB salary minimum was $68,000. Average household income in 1990 was roughly $30,000. So he was making a very respectable double-the-average household income.
