Podcasts about Red Schoendienst

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 There is a decades-old comic book from Japan that freelance journalist and baseball writer Brad Lefton carries with him and has promised to share when next at the Busch Stadium press box. It features a heroic baseball player, Kyojin no Hoshi, and, in one issue, Red Schoendienst and the Cardinals appear. A fictional character in the comic wears the Birds on the Bat as he becomes a rival to the comic's protagonist. So it was for the Cardinals for years -- two Cardinals teams, one led by Stan Musial and another by Bob Gibson, visited Japan on tours. The Cardinals were one of the first teams in Major League Baseball to sign a position from Japan when So Taguchi arrived in the early 2000s. He would go on to start in the World Series, win in a World Series championship, and be a key part of a pennant winner for the Cardinals. When he met Schoendienst he marveled that he was the same person he knew from the Kyojin no Hoshi comic. But Taguchi was also the last Japan-born player the Cardinals signed. They have been unsuccessful or absent in the pursuit of players from Japan since. To discuss why and how the Cardinals can become relevant for fans and players in Japan, the Best Podcast in Baseball welcomes a longtime baseball writer who grew up in St. Louis and now covers baseball for and in Japan. Lefton, a St. Louis-based freelance journalist, writes about baseball for a variety of outlets, including NHK and Number in Japan. He writes in Japanese and English about the game, and his work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Cardinals' magazine. In the coming weeks, he'll visit Cooperstown, New York, where he's working as a consultant withe National Baseball Hall of Fame on an exhibition about baseball and Japan, and that exhibit will certainly include the Cardinals' tours and other ties to baseball in Japan. Lefton recently completed reporting on an article about former Cardinals pitcher Drew VerHagen's return to pitch in Japan, and in the coming months, Lefton will write a lot about the oncoming Hall of Fame induction of Ichiro Suzuki. Lefton joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss Ichiro's arrival the majors, his "laser beam" throw, his fondness for the game, and his influence in the huge presence Japan has in the modern game, and not just on the Dodgers' roster. The two baseball writers also discuss how the Cardinals attempted to increase their presence in Japan and whether geography has become to high a hurdle for them to clear. Lefton also describes how growing up in St. Louis, where he also was an intern at KMOX/1120 AM, informs his baseball writing and his interest in Japan and its love of the game. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. In its 13th year, BPIB drops weekly and is eager to hear from listeners about what it does well and what it can do better.

Ryan notches the milestone dismissing New York Mets outfielder Danny Heep with 3 pitches in the sixth inning.On July 11, 1968, the Baltimore Orioles name future Hall of Famer Earl Weaver their manager. Weaver, a lifetime minor league player had been serving as the team's first base coach, and replaced the fired Hank Bauer. Under Weaver's managerial philosophy of ""Double-plays and the Three Run Homer" the 1970 Orioles would be World Champions. In addition to the 1970 World Series, Weaver's Orioles would win 100 plus games 5 times, four pennants, and six division titles.On July 11, 1914, "The Babe", George Herman Ruth makes his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox. Striking out in his first at-bat, Ruth would have to settle for a no-decision as the starting pitcher, after getting pulled for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. The Red Sox would win the game 4-3.On July 11, 1950, network television broadcasts an All-Star Game for the first time in history. In the first-ever extra-inning All-Star Game, the NL defeats the AL, 4-3. St. Louis Cardinals star Red Schoendienst wins the game with a home run in the 14th inning against Ted Gray.On July 11, 1961, San Francisco Giants pitcher Stu Miller is literally blown off the mound during the All-Star Game at Candlestick Park. In the ninth inning, high winds cause the 165-pound Miller to lose his balance. Umpires call a balk, allowing the tying run to score. The National League eventually wins, 5-4, in 10 innings.On July 11, 1967, Tony Perez of the Cincinnati Reds hits a 15th inning home run against Jim "Catfish" Hunter of the Kansas City A's. Perez' dramatic blast gives the National League a 2-1 victory ending the longest game in All Star history.

Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst talks to KMOX's Tom Ackerman prior to the start of the 2011 baseball season.

It’s been nearly two years since our first look at baseball’s still-revered Milwaukee Braves, and this week – courtesy of author/historian Patrick Steele (Home of the Braves: The Battle for Baseball in Milwaukee) – we finally get the chance to go deeper into the team that, in its brief 13-season run: never posted a losing season, won two National League pennants, and, in 1957, brought “Cream City” its first and only World Series championship.  Featuring a stellar lineup of mostly Braves farm club-developed players (including eventual Hall of Famers Henry [Hank] Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Red Schoendienst, and Phil Niekro) the team immediately won the hearts of Wisconsin sports fans upon its hasty arrival from Boston in the midst of the 1953 pre-season – shattering then-modern-day attendance records, and ushering the city of Milwaukee into the world of America’s proverbial “big leagues.” The Braves' surprising success in Milwaukee during the mid-1950’s prompted Major League Baseball to redefine itself as a big business, clearing the path for: franchises to relocate beyond the sport’s Northeast and Midwest strongholds; its two leagues to expand; and teams to leverage cities in high-stakes battles for local government-subsidized facilities.   All of which, ironically, helped sowed the seeds for the club’s eventual relocation to Atlanta in 1966 – an acrimonious departure that generations of Milwaukee baseball fans still haven’t forgotten.   PLUS: “There’s No Joy Left” – polka music king Frankie Yankovic’s song of “good riddance”!

The St. Louis Cardinals failed to make the playoffs this season, but maybe the franchise's biggest loss was when Red Schoendienst passed away in June after 67 years with the organization.

Millions of Cardinals fans, generation after generation, have known their legends by a single name: Ozzie. Willie. Stan. Red. For a slightly smaller audience, though, they had other single-word names: Dad. Brother. Husband. Grandpa. Today, Bird on the Black is proud to be granted access to that side of one such baseball hero - Red Schoendienst - by way of his granddaughter, Mary Gage.

On June 15, St. Louis paused to honor an icon.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It's probably only fair to say right up front that this isn't the most optimistic show our two co-hosts have put together.  From the passing of Red Schoendienst to the loss of Alex Reyes for the season to the bullpen blowups and the use of Jordan Hicks to the erraticness of Carlos Martinez, there was a lot of things that Cardinal fans didn't really want to see this week.  However, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) tackle all of them, examining all the facets to see if there's something good in there.  You'll have to listen to see if they succeed!

Cliff Corcoran (The Athletic) returns to talk baseball, and then is joined by film critic Scott Tobias (The Next Picture Show podcast) to talk about “Solo,” the Star Wars and Marvel franchises, and the curse of the summer movie season. Prior, Steve has two stories of Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst, plus a protest of sorts.TABLE OF CONTENTSStan Musial’s kid and mine*Popeye thoughts*Red Shoendienst, Stan Musial, and Trader Frank Lane*Cliff Corcoran: The Montgomery Biscuits cap et al*The integration of the Philadelphia Phillies*Clayton Kershaw in Decline/The Dodgers at .500*The Matt Kemp revival*Scott Tobias: “Solo” and early Star Wars relationships*“Godfather II” references*This is a cynical character?*Disney as franchise-keeper*Anti-auterism*Edgar Wright fantasies*Irrelevant cameo*The “You’ve Got Mail” digression*The hardest time of year for a film critic*Coming attractions*Plugs for “Ricki and the Flash” and the “Mission Impossible” film series*Star Wars vs. Lovecraft*The Cinematography of “Solo”*Will J.J.

Steven Goldman, rotating cohosts Jesse Spector, Cliff Corcoran, and David Roth, and occasional guests discuss 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?

Even though it started off with Michael Wacha coming three outs away from a no-hitter, this hasn't been a week that the Cardinals would like to remember.  The legend and icon Red Schoendienst passed away on Wednesday, leaving a hole that will probably never be fully filled.  With Allen (The Redbird Daily, @amedlock1) away this week due to family issues, Kyle Reis (Birds on the Black, @kyler416) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) talk about Red's legacy and what he meant to the organization, plus who might be able to pick up that torch next. While the passing of Red is the worst thing this week, there were plenty of other bad things.  Daniel and Kyle talk about the loss of Alex Reyes for the year and what that means not only to the 2018 squad but for Reyes going forward.  Then there were two losses to the Marlins and a game against the Reds as the show was recording that was scarier than it needed to be.  What can the club do?  Is there anything the club can do? Of course, if Kyle is joining the show, we're going to tap into his wheelhouse.  The first-year player draft was held this week and Kyle gives a quick look at some of what happened there.  Then we talk about a few prospects and finish up with the question everyone is wondering about: what is the future of Carson Kelly? It's a longer show than normal but it's an enjoyable one, so clear your calendar and give it a listen!

The lineage behind what is today’s Atlanta Braves is one of the longest, deepest and most uniquely enduring in all of professional baseball.  With early roots dating back to the launch of 1871’s National Association (when they were based in Boston, and known simply as the “Red Stockings”), the later-renamed Braves franchise boldly moved to the greener pastures of Milwaukee in 1953 – where for 13 years, the team never endured a losing season, won two National League pennants, and, in 1957, brought the city its first and only World Series championship.  With a talented lineup featuring future Hall of Famers Henry Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Red Schoendienst, and Phil Niekro, the team immediately won the hearts of fans, shattered modern-day attendance records, and ushered the city of Milwaukee into the world of the “big leagues.”  In the process, the Milwaukee Braves' success prompted Major League Baseball to redefine itself as a big business—clearing the path for franchises to  relocate west, its two leagues to expand, and teams to leverage cities in high-stakes battles for civically funded facilities.  But the Braves' instant success made their rapid fall from grace in the early 1960s all the more stunning, as declining attendance and local political greed led the team to Atlanta in one of the ugliest divorces between a city and baseball franchise in sports history.     In this supremely revelatory conversation, TV documentary director/producer and author (and Wisconsin native) Bill Povletich (Milwaukee Braves: Heroes and Heartbreak; A Braves New World) joins Tim Hanlon to discuss the historical importance of the Braves’ time in Milwaukee, and some of the specific events and personalities that shaped it. Our continued thanks to our friends at Podfly and Audible for their support of the show!

Host Matt Sammon discusses the dreaded manager card, and the equally dreadful 1981 Donruss set. The only redeeming factor in this pull, the greatness that is Red Schoendienst. Chat with us on Twitter, at @WaxAndGumStains
