In today's episode we're answering a question from a listener: what are Ken's favorite books? Some people enjoy novels, but Ken is partial to handwritten historical documents, or a nice illuminated manuscript woven from silk. Then there are the two-for-ones: Spalding's Baseball Guide, inscribed by Spalding himself to fellow Red Stockings player George Wright, a book on jazz inscribed by Billie Holiday to Louis Armstrong, and a copy of The Great Gatsby inscribed by F. Scott Fitzgerald to T.S. Eliot. Sometimes the best book is the one that elicits the best response—the one that thrills a regular customer, puts a student in tangible touch with the past, or becomes a cherished family tradition. If you're in the Boston area, visit the shop to find your favorite—or to hear more about Ken's.

Spring in Boston means baseball, and this week we're talking about the time in 1874 when the Boston Red Stockings tried to bring America's national pastime to Britain. 120 years before the World Baseball Classic, Boston's biggest baseball promoter did his level best to get the cricket fans in “jolly old” hooked on his game… and the fact that he could sell them all the mitts, bats, and gloves they would need was just a happy accident, I'm sure. Red Stockings pitcher and future sporting goods magnate Al Spalding led the team on the World Baseball Tour, but would they be able to convert English strikers to batters and bowlers to pitchers? And for the team, would their nearly two month long diversion mean the end of their pennant race for 1874? Full show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/273/ Support us: http://patreon.com/HUBhistory/
A fantastic game that comes down to the end. It's the 2022 Ohio Cup...it's Muffin Meadow...it's base ball! First game of second day.

Welcome back to America's Game, a special edition of Snapshots all about baseball! In this episode, we take a look at two of the most important games played in the 19th century. The first is a game that took place in Trenton, New Jersey with the Cuban Giants vs the Red Stockings. This was the first time a black baseball team beat an American Association team. This was a massive milestone for baseball and a landmark that paved a path for some of the greatest players in the sport. The second is when the White Stockings and the All-Americans faced off at the Pyramids of Giza. A 3,000-year-old baseball field and a first for the sport. _____ Share/Comment: http://amalfimedia.com/snapshots/important-games-of-the-19th-century-americas-game-4 Watch: https://youtu.be/sWRRoTSdQPE More Shows: http://amalfimedia.com/shows Amalfi Instagram: @AmalfiMedia Amalfi Twitter: @Amalfi_Media Email Blaine: snapshots@amalfimedia.com.

Hey, it's been a while folks! After a long hiatus (life happens, man) I'm here, back to annoy you with my Red Stockings and baseball taekz. Some hooligans who root for the Dodgers put up a billboard by Fenway Park thanking us for Mookie, that wasn't fun! You know who will be fun, though? The three (3) hitters I brought up on this episode who could perform real well for the Red Sox. I'm particularly interested to see how this trio does after a weird 2020. Who are they, you ask? Well aren't you sly! You'll have to listen for yourself, silly goose! I also gave my award predictions for the 2K21 MLB SZN. I can't wait to play this back in November and see that I went 0/8. Follow me on Twitter if ye dare: @FitzyMoPena. Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Good Day" by MF DOOM off the Madvillainy record. Rest in Peace, DOOM.

In this episode, Howard Wilkinson joins the discussion as another special guest. Howard and I will explore the myths surrounding our holiday: why does Cincinnati have the privilege of hosting the season opener? (It’s not because of the 1869 Red Stockings.) Are we always the first game of the season? (No, and that is not a recent phenomenon.) Have the Reds always been scheduled to open at home? (No) Did anyone ever issue an edict (No) or are some of these traditions more a result of geography (yes) or pressure applied by the Reds? (Yes) Your host, Randy Freking, is the author of “Cincinnati's 150-Year Opening Day History: The Hoopla Started with a Parade” and co-author of “@Titanicstruggle: The Best of MARTY BRENNAMAN” Get your copies at openingdaybook.com and BestofMarty.com
Serendipity on the cycle path last week. Out for my daily exercise when someone behind me in the bike lane called my name. It was the multi-talented actor and writer Amelia Bullmore. We met several years ago at a local Pilates class and even though Amelia has appeared in some of my favourite TV programmes: Coronation Street (Steph Barnes), I’m Alan Partridge (girlfriend Sonja) and Twenty Twelve (Kay Hope) - I didn’t recognise her. Sharp, brilliant and funny, she's also very low-key and modest. We always had a good chat and discovered that we were both students in Manchester at the same time, but while I was propping up the bar at the Hacienda, Amelia was touring the country with playwright Helen Edmunson and the women’s theatre group Red Stockings...But that was then. Now she's busier than ever, filming the second series of Gentleman Jack and writing the script for the second series of her crime drama Traces. Set in Dundee, Traces focuses on the work of three female forensic scientists and is enjoyable to watch ( Mondays at 9pm on BBC1, all episodes are available on iPlayer). Amelia very generously found the time to record a That's Not My Age podcast. Together we discuss writing, the pressures on women actors as they age, costume - if you're interested in design and styling Amelia recommends the YouTube channel Costume CO which has a couple of films on Gentleman Jack. And of course we talked about style. Eulogising over the French actor Camille Cottin who stars in Call My Agent (new series coming soon), whose name we couldn't remember.

We, the Borts, are joined this week by very funny dude, Dave Ferguson (The Birthday Boys, I Love You, America) to discuss baseball's first and oldest professional franchise, the Cincinnati Reds (née Red Stockings, aka Redlegs). The Reds also happen to be Ben's favorite baseball team, what a wild and freaking fortunate coincidence! "Dayton Dave" discusses his inclination toward the goalie/catcher positions, his preferences re: gearhead v. stathead, his beloved Dayton Flyers (in Hawaii? you'll have to listen to find out!), his ill-fated 2012 NLDS trip back home, and much much more. Dave asks all the tough questions and has all the right answers. Plus, the Borts try out a new game (with theme song!), "Put Me In Coach"! When all is said and done, something tells me Reds fans, sports fan and, heck, HUMANITY fans will be absolutely tickled by this episode. ... Got questions, comments, or interesting low-res pics?

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.
