In this Say Yes to Holiness 1:1 Conversation podcast, Christina speaks with Honorable Rebecca Simmons, Executive Director of El Camino de San Antonio Missions, a new evangelization program of the Archdiocese of San Antonio Texas that encourages pilgrimages to the four eighteenth century Spanish Colonial Mission churches and San Fernando Cathedral located in the archdiocese. Rebecca and I spoke about her faith journey, and how she desired to be a missionary when she was a child, but pursued a career in law where she served as a district and appellate judge. Rebecca is also a recognized author and speaks on a variety of topics.   Rebecca shared that she developed her interest and love of the missions by leading her sixth-grade religious education groups on pilgrimages to the missions on bicycle. And, then, over the years, the group grew to include over 100 adults and children of the parish. The interest prompted her to become a National Association of Interpreters Certified Interpretive Guide, and she continues to use her certification to accompany pilgrims along the river trail that links the missions and Cathedral.     When I asked about the connection between the Camino in Spain and in San Antonio, she spoke about the great honor and privilege that is available for anyone who makes the Camino in San Antonio can receive credit towards their compostela if they then continue their journey in Spain.    For anyone who makes a pilgrimage discovers the power that comes from making the journey, particularly by learning how to slow down and express gratitude for all of God's gifts. But even if you are unable to walk or bike the Camino, you can still make an "armchair pilgrimage" that can make you a powerful intercessor for others, especially when partnering with the Blessed Mother.       Our conversation was both illuminating and inspiring and I hope that you find it to be the same so as to encourage you to comontinue doing WHATEVER IT TAKES so that together we can tell the Master of Death, "Not Today!"

It was another organizational sweep for the Dodgers yesterday, which is becoming a very positive trend as of late. L.A. won their 5th game in a row, and are poised to complete their 2nd 3-game sweep in as many series. Gavin Stone, the rookie out of Lake City, Arkansas, takes the bump today, so I am super pumped about that. The AAA OKC Dodgers waited until the top of the 9th to score, then exploded for a 5-spot to beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 5-2. El Paso is the AAA Affiliates of the San Diego Padres. The AA Tulsa Drillers, after having a rough week last week, bounce back in a big way and put an 11-1 whoop down of the Padres AA affiliates, the San Antonio Missions. Great Lakes continues to possibly be the most exciting team in the Minor Leagues, and one of the hottest as well as they won their 7th out of their last 8 games, and they did it in walkoff style. Peter Heubeck turned in his 2nd great performance in a row for Single A Rancho Cucamonga and they rode that outing to a 2-1 win over the Lake Elsinor Storm.

Greg Luca, sportswriter for the San Antonio Express News and general assignment reporter covering the Texas League (AA) San Antonio Missions appears as our guest this week. We talked about Major League Baseball (MLB) reorganizing Minor League Baseball (MiLB) and San Antonio's so far futile quest to build a new downtown ballpark, two events that conspired to demote San Antonio from Triple A, MiLB's highest level, back to Double A. MiLB is facing perhaps its most challenging season ever -- Greg offers a very interesting perspective from the newspaper of record the nation's 7th largest city.In Chapter 2, Eric led a discussion about the GameStop phenom that is all the talk on Wall Street. Craig and Eric walked through GameStop's rise from a sleepy brick and mortar retailer to the hottest stock in the country and perhaps the most volatile stock ...ever! The conversation includes the anatomy of a short sale and how the democratization of information, commission-free trading and other factors will impact stock trading from here. This is only the beginning, folks.In Chapter 3, Eric and Craig take on Barry Bonds' Hall of Fame quest -- Bonds came up short in his 9th try this week. The all-time home run king has one more shot at induction, at least through the baseball writers, who make the initial selections. This conversation wanders through Pete Rose's exclusion, the 1919 Black Sox and the more recent MLB sign stealing scandal. Eric is a little worked up here -- Craig manages to talk him off the ledge, at least for now.Disclosures - Neither Eric nor Craig owned GameStop stock at the time they recorded this podcast and neither expects to open a position in the foreseeable future.

He has authored books on the Texas League and baseball's Texas history. He is revered for his success as the president and his love of the game. Listen to him share his stories and thoughts on the game that defined his life. Transcript: Justin Hill: Hello and Bienvenidos, San Antonio. Welcome to The Alamo Hour discussing the people, places and passion that make our city. My name is Justin Hill, a local attorney, a proud San Antonian, and keeper of chickens and bees. On The Alamo Hour, you'll get to hear from the people that make San Antonio great and unique and the best kept secret in Texas. We're glad that you're here. All right, welcome to episode 10 of The Alamo Hour. Today's guest is Tom Kayser. Tom is a baseball man. He was the president of the Texas League for 25 years. It's one of three double-A minor leagues. That's a yes, I got a head nod. Tom Kayser: Sorry. [laughter] Justin: He wrote Baseball in The Lone Star State, the Texas Leagues greatest hits. He wrote The Texas League Almanac. In 2016, he was inducted into the Texas League Hall of Fame. We've asked him on here today to talk about Texas, Texas baseball, the Missions. The Missions were part of the Texas League and I think, Tom's got a lot to add on. Anybody who's interested in baseball, anybody who's followed the city's quest to get a baseball team and sort of the considerations there. Tom, thank you for being here. Tom: I'm happy to do it. Justin: I always start these with kind of a top 10 list. Get to know a little bit more about you, get to know sort of your connection to our city. You do live in San Antonio, right? Tom: Absolutely. Justin: How long have you lived here and sort of what part of town have you lived in? Tom: Bought a house inside of 1604, in the East of 281 back in October of '93 and I still live in that house. Justin: Is that right? Tom: Yes. Justin: A lot's changed there. Tom: Yes. There wasn't anything on the other side of 1604. As a matter of fact, Gold Canyon wasn't even there back then. You could go across 281 on a bridge, on the Henderson Pass, it used to cross over there and can't do that anymore, but too many people. Justin: You've been here a long time. Tom: I have. Justin: Straight the whole time, '93 on. Tom: Absolutely. Justin: We're in COVID shutdown. This is kind of a strange question, but I think it works. Any favorite place to eat right now? We're doing a bunch of takeout. We're trying to support our old favorites, but is there any spot you're going to or are you shut down? Tom: I'm a pretty good cook, HEB basically. I buy my supplies, but we're coming out of the soup season. I'm just finishing a barley mushroom soup which is fabulous. Having had my office in my house, it's really what I tended to do is eat at home a lot. I wish I could come up with a top. Justin: I need to learn. Tom: Pericos on Saturday morning on 1604 because we've had a group, go on a breakfast on Saturday for tacos forever. Justin: That's great. Tom: It's down to a very slimmed-down group of four. Justin: Right now? Tom: No. We really miss it too, boy. Justin: We'll be there again soon. I had Commissioner [unintelligible 00:03:13] here and I said, we'll get back to normal soon and he was not very encouraging to my optimism. I'm hoping he's wrong because I think we all need to. You've lived here long enough and you have been involved in baseball on the side of town that I really haven't spent much time where the Missions play in that part of town. Are there any things in San Antonio that you think are hidden gems, is what I call them? You've got somebody coming into town and you go, ''Yes, but this isn't in the guidebook, you really need to go see this or do this thing.'' Tom: I tend to take people to the Pearl for sure, but there are so many things that are on the top 10 that it's like, if...

The impact of coronavirus on the National Park System truly is unprecedented. Unlike the impacts partial or full government shutdowns have on the parks, government funding won’t solve those created by the growing spread of coronavirus overnight. To take a look at how coronavirus is affecting the parks and the National Park Service, for this week’s show we’ve gathered three park experts, including former National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis, who combined have more than a century of experience with the national parks and public lands. And Lynn Riddick continues her tour of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park with a visit to Mission Espada.

This week we have a wide-ranging discussion about visiting the parks with Jason Epperson from the America’s National Parks podcast and David and Kay Scott, authors of The Complete Guide To the National Park Lodges. We preview upcoming podcasts on the missions of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, and recap our series on the Colorado River and its impacts on Canyonlands National Park and Glen National Recreation Area.

We break it down and give our thoughts on if we agree or disagree with this. Next another interesting topic with Alabama football. Recently reported that Alabama is tracking students and their attendance at football games through a mobile app. Is this ok?

After a long show day in Detroit, Jennings brings Ira George (Guitarist of Movements) onto the show to chat about The San Antonio Missions, high-stakes fantasy baseball leagues, and some of the top prospects in the minors to keep an eye on. 

In 1790, San Antonians finally won peace along the frontier from their old foes: the Apaches and the Comanches...though at a terrible cost.

When San Antonio became the capital of Texas in 1772, it was a recognition in law of something that was already true in fact. The new concentration of resources on the town and the opening of new lands led to a minor boom, particularly in the cattle business, which immediately ran afoul of Spanish royal authorities and their inflexible mercantile system.

The Apaches just used horses...the Comanches were horseMEN. Had they lived in a different time and place, you might have sworn that they were the inspiration for the legend of the Centaur. And in 1759, San Antonians launched an expedition 400 miles into their territory...

After thirty years of constant harassment by the Apaches, San Antonians did what few other frontier peoples ever could: beat them and force them to seek peace.

During the fifty year period beginning in 1718 and ending around 1768, Spanish friars and Native American converts moved nearly 1 million metric tons of limestone around the San Antonio River valley and erected the UNESCO World Heritage San Antonio Missions, using only crude hand tools and native ingenuity.

When sixteen Canary Island families arrived in San Antonio in March of 1731, they quickly made an impression on the small town. Their first fourteen years in San Antonio would be marked by political conflict, as they formed the first civic government and used their political savvy to advance their vision for their new home.

Between 1718 and 1731, San Antonio would grow to almost 300 "vecinos," thanks to the establishment of four new missions and the "entrepreneurialism" of the soldiers stationed there, who defied Spanish import restrictions to blaze the first trade routes between Spanish Texas and Eastern North America.

In Episode Seven, Marcus chats with new Padres Prospectus writer Ryan Luz about the trade deadline, current progress with the Padre core, and Marcus' most recent trip to watch the San Antonio Missions.  Ryan then recaps part of his Something Rather Than Nothing series, which includes spotlights on Marcus Greene Jr. and Pedro Avila.  The guys also talked about how awesome Fernando Tatis Jr. is, and then played a game called "Finley or Venable". 

Episode 108 of the Sports Illustrated Media podcast features Turner Sports broadcaster Brian Anderson, who is also in his 11th season as play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers for Fox Sports Wisconsin. As part of Turner Sports, Anderson will call the NCAA Tournament this month for Turner and CBS. In this podcast, Anderson discuses navigating between being a national announcer and calling a singular team; how he prepares for each assignment; what a broadcaster must do to be ready to call the NCAA Tournament; what it was like to replace Marv Albert on less than 48 hours notice for the 2015 Midwest Regional final game between Kentucky and Notre Dame; how critical he can be of Brewers players; what it was like calling Brewers’ games upon Ryan Braun returning from his suspension; working as a San Antonio Missions broadcaster for $25 per game; how he held jobs as a technician and camera operator while broadcasting in San Antonio; what it was like to work as the sideline reporter for the Spurs from 1999 to 2007; his most memorable interactions with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich; advice he received from Brewers announcer Bob Uecker, and much more.
