In this episode of *Talent Chasing*, hosted by Brian Johnson and Chad Sowash, the focus is on entrepreneur James Mims and his journey in founding Mims Bands, a wristband company that has become an iconic part of Major League Baseball (MLB) history. James shares how, as a senior at the University of Southern California, he came up with the idea for personalized wristbands for athletes, starting with a prototype for baseball player Dusty Baker. Over time, Mims Bands became widely recognized, worn by many notable MLB players like Eric Davis and Tim Raines. Despite facing numerous challenges, including resistance from MLB and the Players Association, Mims persevered and got his product used by over 130 players. Mims reflects on the obstacles he faced as a Black entrepreneur, from difficulties gaining access to stadiums to dealing with legal battles. The conversation also highlights how Mims promoted individualism in a highly structured sport like baseball. Brian and Chad emphasize the lessons from his experience, particularly around persistence, relationships, and the critical role of talent in both sports and business. The episode ends with a discussion of Mims' major accomplishments, including his partnership with Topps and the induction of his product into the Baseball Hall of Fame, cementing his legacy in the sport.

After the Expos moved to Washington, D.C. to become the Washington Nationals following the 2004 season, a banner displaying Carter's number along with those of other Expos stars Andre Dawson, Tim Raines and Rusty Staub was hung from the rafters at the Bell Centre, home of the NHL's Montreal Canadiens.

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the Montreal Expos/ Washington Nationals franchise to the table to discussion.
Who is the greatest National of all-time? Some might say Walter Johnson since when he was with the Senators they were also called the Nationals. But Ryan Zimmerman has a claim as does Max Scherzer. And then there's Gary Carter, and Andre Dawson, and Tim Raines, and Vlad Guerrero Sr.. They were all Expos but they are a big part of the franchise history. We pick out best Nat/Expo at each position and there are some big time names.

With Ronald Acuña Jr. last night becoming the charter member of the 30-60 club (and adding his 62nd stolen base, to boot), a quick look at the most home runs for each round number of stolen bases…* 130: Rickey Henderson, 10-130, 1982 A's* 120: Henderson, 10-130, 1982 A's* 110: Henderson, 10-130, 1982 A's* 100: Henderson, 10-130, 1982 A's* 90: Harry Stovey, 12-97, 1890 Boston Reds (Players League); modern record: Tim Raines, 11-90, 1983 Expos* 80: Henderson, 28-87, 1986 Yankees* 70: Henderson, 28-87, 1986 Yankees* 60: Acuña, 30-62, 2023 Atlanta* 50: Eric Davis, 37-50, 1987 Reds* 40: Alfonso Soriano, 46-41, 2006 Nationals* 30: Larry Walker, 49-33, 1997 Rockies* 20: Ken Griffey Jr., 56-20, 1998 Mariners* 10: Barry Bonds, 73-13, 2001 Giants This is a public episode.

Yesterday, Pete Alonso had the 186th game in Mets history with a home run and a caught stealing. It was the first time that Alonso has done this in his career, which makes him the 91st Met to post such a performance.No Met had homered and been caught stealing in a game since last July 4, when Brandon Nimmo did it in Cincinnati. Nimmo has had three of these games, and the Mets have won nine of the 10 games since the start of the 2019 season where they had a player go deep but also get nabbed.The somewhat dubious team record for a single-season is four, set by Lee Mazzilli in 1978 and matched by Darryl Strawberry in 1985. Strawberry is the franchise leader at 16 games with a homer and caught stealing, with Mazzilli at 11, followed by Howard Johnson at eight, José Reyes at 7, and David Wright and Joel Youngblood at five apiece.What Alonso would like to have done yesterday is have his seventh career game with a homer and a steal, which would snap a tie with Lenny Dykstra and tie Lindor and Cleon Jones for 11th on the Mets' franchise list. Ahead of them, and more in Lindor's sights in the years to come? Strawberry's team record of 35 should be safe for a while, with Johnson (28), Reyes (27), and Wright (20) all far above the rest of the field. Then it's Carlos Beltrán and Mookie Wilson (13), Kevin McReynolds (12), Tommie Agee (10), and Mike Cameron and Dave Kingman (9).According to Stathead, the career leaders for homer/steal games are…* Barry Bonds, 102* Rickey Henderson, 87* Álex Rodriguez, 65* Bobby Bonds, 61* Joe Morgan, 60* Willie Mays, 58* César Cedeño, 48* Beltran, 44* Bobby Abreu, 43* Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, Alfonso Soriano, Larry Walker, 42* Strawberry, 40And to get back where we started, the leaders for homer/caught stealing combo games…* Mays, 29* Babe Ruth, 27* Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, 25* Bobby Bonds, 24* Henderson, 22* José Canseco, 21* Cedeño, Lou Gehrig, Mike Schmidt, 20* Morgan, Gary Sheffield, Strawberry, 19One more note on Alonso. As he tied Keith Hernandez on the Mets' career RBI list, he also tied Mex in homer/caught stealing games. It was also against the Pirates, but at Three Rivers Stadium, on April 21, 1987: Hernandez was caught stealing by the battery of Brian Fisher and Junior Ortiz, but took Bob Walk deep for an insurance run that helped lessen the impact of Barry Bonds' three-run homer off Bob Ojeda in the eighth. Hernandez singled and scored in the ninth, and Jesse Orosco closed out the 9-6 contest, getting Bobby Bonilla to ground out to end it with Bonds, who would have represented the tying run had he gotten the chance to hit, left on deck.

How fast was Sam "The Jet" Jethroe? He was the fastest man in the Negro Leagues. He was the fastest man in the National League. And when you put him on the track with an Olympian? He was the fastest man on that track too. Bob Kendrick tells the story of the Jet's journey from a championship with the Cleveland Buckeyes, to becoming the first Black player to take the field for the Braves and capturing the NL Rookie of the Year in 1950. Plus, Bob sits down with a man who followed in the Jet's footsteps and didn't even realize it - from Montreal, to the Braves, with two NL stolen base titles along the way - the great Marquis Grissom. The two discuss the importance of telling these stories of Black baseball to future generations, Sam Jethroe's role in paving the way for Marquis in the Braves' organization, his relationship with Henry Aaron, his rise from rags to riches, the art of the stolen base and learning from Otis Nixon and Tim Raines in Montreal, why the city of Montreal remains so important in Black baseball history, stories on top of stories on top of stories, and a nod to this summer's Hall of Fame inductee, Fred McGriff.

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.

Jack Curry is an award-winning sports journalist. He spent 20 years covering baseball for the New York Times before shifting to television to work for the YES Network, where he has worked since 2010. He is the co-author of three New York Times bestsellers and has recently authored a new book on the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Yankees, a team that won the World Series and a total of 125 games. The book is entitled, “The 1998 Yankees: The Inside Story of the Greatest Baseball Team Ever.” Curry has won six New York Emmy Awards. In this episode, Curry explains the stories of that team. That season's headlines were dominated by the home run chase of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, and until the World Series, the country hadn't focused on the Yankees. Still, that team featured superstars like Derek Jeter, Paul O'Neill, and Bernie Williams, and had bench players like Darryl Strawberry and Tim Raines. Also covered in this episode, Curry discusses his role with the YES Network and discusses his thoughts on the current Yankees, specifically Aaron Judge, rookie Anthony Volpe, and manager Aaron Boone.

Spring training is in full swing but we're already in mid-season form. This week we discovered something that would make Connie Mack very angry from the college ranks, we compare a couple of expansion teams and find they might very well be the same team, we get some hot uniform news from teams playing in Florida and we join the players union (and you can too!) for mad discounts. Out main topic this week is the Cobra, Dave Parker. Tim Raines was involved in the Pittsburgh Drug Trails and is in the Hall of Fame, so why not Parker? We recap his career, check the numbers and even see if he can make 7-Up any good (spoiler, he cant, 7-Up sucks regardless). We rip some 1990 Donruss for this week's Wax Pack Heroes as we wind down the season. Don't forget, you can leave us a message at 607-216-8811.

Jim is joined by HOF voter and sportswriter Jim Ingraham to discuss the Hall of Fame candidacy of former MLB centerfielder Kenny Lofton. First, Jim talks about Lofton's first spring training with Cleveland and how in awe everyone was with Lofton's out of this world athleticism (6:28). Next, they discuss Lofton's ridiculous baserunning in Game 6 of the 1995 ALCS, how Lofton compares favorably to Tim Raines, and where Lofton's stellar WAR places him among the greatest centerfielders in MLB history (15:05). Finally, they cover how Lofton stacks up against the best centerfielders of the 1990s (37:50), before making a final call on whether or not Lofton deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (42:22).

Nico and Jimmy bring you good news from the Shire... Distilling outside of Houston with Tim Raines the master distiller himself.
In the 1980s, a cocaine ring spread through the National League, engulfing stars as big as Keith Hernandez and Tim Raines. That ring began, innocuously enough, with two Pittsburgh Pirates superfans, one of whom used his cover as the Pirate Parrot, the team's first mascot, to traffic drugs into the team clubhouse. This is the story of Kevin Koch and Dale Shiffman, two Keystone State party guys who became immersed in a world of sex, drugs, and sacrifice flies.

At Olympic Stadium in Montreal, in his second start after coming back from cancer surgery (that involved removing 50% of his deltoid muscle), Giants southpaw pitcher, Dave Dravecky suffers a broken arm. Dave collapses to the ground and clutches his left arm in severe pain after throwing a wild pitch to Tim Raines. This will be his final pitch.

Andre Dawson (born July 10, 1954), nicknamed "The Hawk" and "Awesome Dawson", is a Hall of Famer who played for four different teams as a center and right fielder during his 21 year career. He spent most of his career with the Montreal Expos (1976–1986) and Chicago Cubs (1987–1992).An 8-time NL All-Star, he was named the league's Rookie of the Year in 1977 after batting .282 with 19 home runs and 65 RBI, and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1987 after leading the league with 49 homers and 137 RBI; he had been runner-up for the award in both 1981 and 1983. He batted .300 five times, drove in 100 runs four times and had 13 seasons of 20 home runs. A strong base-runner early in his career, he also stole 30 bases three times. He is one of eight MLB players with at least 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases during his career.Dawson was a center fielder until knee problems – worsened by the artificial surface at Olympic Stadium – forced his shift to right field, followed by his move to a team which played on grass. He led the NL in outfield putouts three consecutive years (1981–1983), and won eight Gold Glove Awards for fielding excellence. Dawson was known for his incredible work ethic and study of the game. He was often seen in the dugout with a clipboard in-hand documenting pitches and pitcher tendencies. This was long before such practices were common-place and such information was readily available. Upon his retirement, his NL totals of 409 home runs and 962 extra base hits both ranked tenth in league history; he also ranked seventh in NL history in games as an outfielder (2,303), and sixth in both outfield putouts (5,116) and total chances (5,366). He set Expos franchise records for career games, at bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, runs batted in, extra base hits, total bases and steals, all of which have since been broken variously by Tim Raines, Tim Wallach and Vladimir Guerrero. Dawson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25, 2010

WHEN FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL BACKGROUND Each episode takes the listener back to the very early days of the National Football League. Author Joe Ziemba will share a forgotten or lost story from one of the NFL's two oldest teams: The Bears and the Cardinals. Team championships, individual exploits, or long-buried items of interest from the earliest years of the NFL will be dusted off and resurrected for the listener.

Mark and Andy do another in-depth examination of two players, this time the similarly-skilled Rickey Henderson and Tim "Rock" Raines. While Mark takes on Rickey in all his glory, Andy handles the under-appreciated star Raines. Although the players' careers spanned the same time period and their skills mirrored each other, Rickey was in a league of his own. Find out where his value came from and how Rock measures up as a hitter, baserunner, and fielder. Finish it up by playing along in the latest round of Roll The Stat, in which Mark and Andy tackle a new stat, Championship Win Probability Added, for players who led a league in stolen bases during Henderson's and Raines' careers.

Pinstripe Pod: A NY Yankees Baseball Podcast from New York Post Sports
Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson open the show talking about the Yankees' dominance over the Orioles, Gerrit Cole leading the Yanks to their second win in just four games so far and just how good he has been early on. They discuss how bad the Orioles are going to be this season, looking ahead to the series against the Red Sox and if there is reason to be concerned with Gary Sanchez and Brett Gardner's slow start. Nellie then tells another story involving poop from his playing days with "Nellie's Nugget." NY Post baseball insider Joel Sherman then debuts his "Sherman's Hot Corner" segment. Hall of Famer Tim Raines, a 1996 and 1998 World Series champion with the Yankees, then joins the show. Raines talks about being able to play for so long, his run with the Expos, always having a smile on his face, the chemistry on those Yankees championship teams and his thoughts on Brian Boehringer and the "serial killer" joke.
Andre Dawson had a great career, he talks about his time in Montreal playing with Tim Raines and Gary Carter, how the turf was bad for the knees. He then tells how playing in Wrigley in Chicago rejuvenated himself and his career and how happy he was to be there. Andre besides being in the HOF, won the 1977 Rookie of the Year 8 Gold Gloves stole over 300 bases and 300 hr's. The man did it all and love how he explains it to me.
We journey north of the border this week to get our first at-bats with the 35-year adventure formerly known as the Montreal Expos, with author and de facto team historian Danny Gallagher (Always Remembered: New Revelations and Old Tales About Those Fabulous Expos). Created in expansionary haste by the National League in 1969, MLB’s first-ever Canadian franchise was named after the city’s futuristic “Expo 67” World’s Fair, and expected to be domiciled in a new domed stadium by 1972 after a temporary stint at a barely-minor-league field in the city’s Jarry Park. Chronically delayed and reshaped by preparations for the 1976 Summer Olympics, that permanent home (a cavernous, drafty and still-unfinished Olympic Stadium) didn’t formally arrive until 1977 – with its promised roof not in place until a full decade later. The Expos’ locational challenges were only slightly overshadowed by their mediocre play on the field – which, while competitive at times (they had the best cumulative winning percentage in the NL from 1979-83, for example) – netted just one post-season appearance (in a convoluted strike-shortened 1981 season) in the team’s 35-year stay in Montreal. (The strike-abandoned season of 1994, when the team led the NL East by six games with eight weeks to play, literally and figuratively didn’t count.) Still, the Expos had their share of talent (buttressed by a reliably prolific farm system) – boasting 11 MLB Hall of Famers (including fan favorites Gary Carter, Andre Dawson and Tim Raines) – and a panoply of memorable characters like Rusty Staub, Warren Cromartie, Steve Rogers, and Tim Wallach. When Major League Baseball voted to contract two clubs in 2001, the Expos were targeted as one of them – beset by dwindling attendances and cellar-dwelling records during the latter half of the 1990s. A ham-handed league takeover that year led to three final lame-duck seasons – including a bizarre relocation of “home games” in 2003-04 to San Juan, Puerto Rico – before moving to Washington to become the Nationals.

Baseball Hall of Fame member Tim Raines says that he was amazed with how big Larry Walker was when he first met him. Raines also said that despite Walker's size, he was the epitome of what a five-tool player is.
Tyler Maun wears a lot of hats, literally and figuratively. He's a broadcaster, writer, host of two podcasts, Denver sports historian, and has a collection of baseball hats that is both impressive and troubling. What makes Tyler's story so intriguing is that he was in a career funk in the middle of the 2010s, after the end of relationship, and those hard times laid the foundation for his career renaissance. On episode 25 of the "Life Around the Seams" podcast, we get philosophical about life and work. We discuss how moving to Australia re-ignited his career and launched his impressive international portfolio, what it means to hustle for work, taking chances, betting on yourself, and getting out of your comfort zone with sports that you might not know very well. You see, even though baseball is his first love, Tyler has performed play-by-play for 8 (or maybe 9) different sports (he's lost track), and is the envy of his peers because he's done baseball play-by-play in 10 different countries. Plus, we talk about forgotten Denver baseball history, Tim Raines, Larry Walker, and hashtag Coors.
It's been a week since the Yankees were reportedly on the verge of acquiring Gerrit Cole, since which time nothing has happened. But we're assured by Randy Levine that the Yankees are continuing their offseason work, as if there was any doubt about that.Meanwhile, Todd Frazier never seemed likely to be back in pinstripes in 2018, and he still doesn't. That doesn't mean it's impossible to see it happening, but something else probably has to happen first. You can guess what that something else is when the Yankees are all about staying under that $197 million luxury tax threshold.Mailbag Friday is here, prefaced by a request for anybody who has a copy of Tim Raines' car commercial from his Yankees days to please make it public. The world needs your service. Also, there are mailbag questions, which is good, because this was a realllllllllllllly slow week when it comes to the Yankees. Learn more about your ad choices.
