2-24-2024 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the Las Vegas Raiders Quarterback situation going into next season. He believes the team should take one of the first round QB's in this year's draft and wonders whether they should trade up for the number one overall pick to select Caleb Williams out of USC. The Raiders have options to move up from 13 overall, where if they cannot secure the number one pick, possibilities to trade up exist at 3, 4, and 5 which could set them up to get Jalen Daniels or JJ McCarthy. John believes Mets POBO (David Stearns) has officially decided to punt the 2024 Mets baseball season because of his answer to Ace pitcher Kodai Senga being out to start the season being "next man up." John contemplates his move as to how to "fan" for the 2024 Mets season. During today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about Smoky Joe Wood, USA/ Finland of 1980, Wayne Gretzky, Roberto Duran, and the USA Gold Medal Hockey team of 2002, while also mentioning Honus Wagner, Eddie Murray, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Eddie Plank, and Tony Conigliaro.

August 18th, 1967 During the Red Sox “Impossible dream” season, tragedy strikes when Tony Conigliaro is beaned by the Angels' Jack Hamilton. Hit just below his left eye, Conigliaro would miss the rest of the season and all of ‘68. The injury effectively ended the career of a player who by the time he was 22 had become the youngest in American League history and second-youngest player in major-league history to hit 100 career homers.August 18th 1989, in a 9-2 Toronto win, Baltimore shortstop Cal Ripken plays in his 1,208th consecutive game passing Steve Garvey for the 3rd longest streak in major league history. August 18th, 1995, after 39 years at the mike, Yankees announcer and Hal of Famer, Phil Rizzuto retires as team broadcaster. The “Scooter's” retirement was prompted by a dispute with WPIX-TV who refused to allow him to miss a game to attend the funeral of teammate Mickey Mantle. The voice of the Yankees would eventually return for the 1996 season. Taking full control of the game, Milwaukee pitcher Lew Burdette pitches a 1-0 no-hitter against the Phillies facing just 27 batters and scoring the game's only run. On August 18th,1906, Wee Willie Keeler strikes out for only the second time this season, falling both times to White Sox pitcher Ed Walsh's illegal spitball. In 1902, the first unassisted triple play ever in a professional game is executed by first baseman Hal O'Hagan of the Rochester Bronchos (Eastern League) against Jersey City. Roberto Clemente was born on this day on August 18th, 1934. Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn Says

Today we talk about the amazing comeback of Tony Conigliaro. “Tony C” burst on to the scene with the Red Sox when he was just a teenager hitting .290 with 24 homers in just 111 games in 1964. In 1965 his 32 home runs made him the youngest home run champion in American League history and by the age of 22 he became the youngest player to reach 100 home runs. In 1967 he was struck in the face by a pitch. The damage was extensive including several fractures and permanent injury to his retina and vision. But Tony C would not be stopped, he came back in 1969 and hit 20 home runs with 82 RBI and the next year he had a career high 36 home runs despite struggling with the vision in his eye. Unfortunately his amazing comeback came to an end in 1975 as his vision deteriorated. He succumbed to a number of other health problems and sadly died at the age of 45. But his impact is still felt today as the Tony Conigliaro Award has been given annually since 1990 to a player who has overcome great adversity. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here   

Vasilis was born in Piraeus, Athens' hectic and industrial port area. An area once described as rough and ready, it's undergoing a transformation. After finishing school, he moved to the centre of Athens, where he studied nursing and begun working in clubs, for the dual purpose of meeting people and making extra cash. Bartenders aren't always the club types, but Kyritsis claims working in a club came in mighty handy later on. “You had to work quickly, serving a lot of people whilst smiling,” he says. “Without the extra positive of serving cocktails, all we had was our good mood to convince people to drink more and more. In short, working in clubs makes you more humble and polite.” After working at Athens Island Club in 2006, he moved over to the famous Gin Joint, before opening up The Clumsies in late 2014. Just before he opened his own bar, there's two major formative experiences worth noting. In 2012 Vasilis was crowned national World Class champion, before going on to compete in the global finals in Rio de Janeiro. Diageo's annual mass-bartender bout was an experience he savoured – both for making industry connections and learning about himself as a bartender. Another defining event was going to Tony Conigliaro's Drink Factory in London, where he learnt how “bartenders can combine classic bartending with modern bartending.” “The Clumsies is a traditional type of Greek place,” he explains, moving onto his current bar he opened up in 2014 with Nikos Bakoulis – a fellow bartender and the Greek World Class Winner in 2011 – and Lefteris Georgopoulos, Thanos Tsounakas and Giorgos Kaissaris. Open early with specialty coffee and breakfast food curated by Michelin Star chef Nikos Karathanos. Two floors encompass both a high volume bar and the 10 tabled “Room” upstairs where attendees can receive personalized drinks. There's a lab too for innovation. “One of the reasons we named the bar The Clumsies is that I have always had a touch of clumsiness. I drop things sometimes,” he laughs. “Clumsies means something more comfortable for our guests. It makes you feel more comfortable again. Nobody likes perfect people.” Find Vasilis work: Fb ► https://www.facebook.com/kiritsis.vasilis1 Insta ► https://www.instagram.com/bkyritsis/ The Clumsies: ► https://www.instagram.com/the_clumsies/ ► https://www.theclumsies.gr Hustler: ► https://www.instagram.com/hustler.greece/ ► https://hustler.com.gr Otto's Vermouth: ► https://www.instagram.com/ottos_athens_vermouth/ ► http://www.athensvermouth.com

“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” John 12.   This poem is called “Ask Me,” by William Stafford (1914-1993): “Some time when the river is ice ask me mistakes I have made. Ask me whether what I have done is my life. Others have come in their slow way into my thought, and some have tried to help or to hurt: ask me what difference their strongest love or hate has made.   I will listen to what you say. You and I can turn and look at the silent river and wait. We know the current is there, hidden; and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold the stillness exactly before us. What the river says, that is what I say.”[1]   Is what you have done your life? What difference have those who love you and hate you made? Jesus says, “Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (Jn. 12). He puts into question what it means to live or die. He makes us less certain what our life really is. I believe that it takes someone with the power of Jesus to dispel our most persistent illusions. Some fantasies can be so widespread within a culture that it can take generations to understand the truth. On August 18, 1967 at Boston’s Fenway Park Red Sox outfielder Tony Conigliaro was at the plate facing California Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton. On the first pitch Hamilton threw a fastball that crushed the left side of Conigliaro’s face. Conigliaro never completely recovered from his injury. He left baseball in 1975 and died at the age of forty-five. That moment changed Jack Hamilton forever too. In 1990 when Conigliaro died, Hamilton gave an interview with the New York Times in which he recalled what happened that day. “I’ve had to live with it,” He said,”I think about it a lot. It was like the sixth inning when it happened. I think the score was 2-1, and he was the eighth hitter in the batting order. With the pitcher up next, I had no reason to throw at him.” Hamilton remembers visiting him in the hospital that afternoon. He also remembers wondering whether he should return to Fenway for the next series of games that season. Although Hamilton probably thought about this day many times his recollections were almost completely wrong. The accident didn’t happen in the sixth inning but in the fourth. The score was not 2-1 but 0-0. Conigliaro wasn’t the eighth hitter but the sixth. It wasn’t even a day game so Hamilton couldn’t have visited him in the hospital that afternoon, and there were no other games in Boston that year for him to wonder about whether or not he should go back there.[2] It should come as no surprise to us that our memories are unreliable, that we get important details wrong. A cognitive psychologist asked forty-four students the question, “How did you first hear the news of the space ship Challenger explosion.” He asked them the morning after the explosion and then two and a half years later. Although they described the memories as vivid during this second interview, none of their memories were completely accurate and one third of their memories were what the researcher called “wildly inaccurate.” Many of these students couldn’t believe that their revised memories were wrong. “This is my handwriting, so it must be right,” said one student, “but I still remember everything the way I told you [just now]. I can’t help it.”[3] In modern times there are so many subtle ways of not believing in God. One of them is to understand ourselves as a kind of videotape that summarizes our past, to think that in a significant sense we are our memories. If this is the implicit picture that someone has of himself, a psychologist’s claims that the tape is unreliable can seem like an attack on a person’s identity. For me this way of understanding our selves is in contrast with the Bible. According to Christian tradition we do not have an existence that is independent of God. Who we are does not derive from who we were. Our life is not something that came about accidentally because of the lust or love of two other human beings a long time ago. We don’t earn our life. Instead we constantly derive our life from God. Who we are is a gift from God that we receive every day. This means that you are fundamentally safe. You do not need to worry about losing your job, your spouse, your health, the respect of the other kids in school. The self that you are is not something that you achieve through some kind of work. It is not something that comes into existence because of what you think. This self is safe from the world Perhaps what Jesus means is that the part of ourselves we are so afraid of losing isn’t really us anyway. The novelist Ernest Hemmingway writes about a father in Spain who wanted to be reconciled to his runaway son. The father takes out an advertisement in the Madrid paper El Liberal. It says, “Paco, meet me noon on Tuesday at the Hotel Montana. All is forgiven! Love, Papa.” Paco was a common name in those days. When the father showed up he found eight hundred young men looking for their fathers.[4] The way that Jesus speaks through the Bible is like this. Right here we have a whole sworld full of Pacos, of children returning to their father. We are not our memories, our thoughts or even our actions. Like California pitcher Jack Hamilton we will make minor mistakes and some terrible life-changing ones. But none of this changes the truth. You can ask me if what I have done is my life or about the influence of people who have loved and hated me. But that is not what I am. We are children of God who Jesus calls to return. And one day he will lift us all up into the fullness of divine joy.   [1] Published in Twentieth-Century American Poetry, Ed. Dana Gioia, David Mason, Meg Schoerke (NY: McGraw Hill, 2004), 530.

This week we look at Curt Flood going to Washington. Bean Balls that changed lives - Ray Chapman and Tony C, Power steals by Vic Power, and lost icon as Mickey Mantle Passes away, One incredible streak by Jack Taylor.  Listen to our new section on Fan Stories - today we thank Ray Wilson. On Episode 3 – we are backstepping through August 12 – 18th. On September 27, 1940, what Detroit Tiger bullpen catcher was knocked out cold when hit over the head with a case of tomatoes? On August 12, 1970 — 1970 – Judge Irving Ben Cooper rules against Curt Flood in his antitrust suit. Cooper says “Decisions of the Supreme Court are not lightly overruled… We find no general or widespread disregard of the extremely important position the player occupies… Clearly, the preponderance of credible proof does not favor the elimination of the reserve clause.” However, the judge says changes in the reserve clause should be made through negotiation but denies Flood damages. Flood will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court but in vain. Flood, of course, blazed the trail with his actions for Free Agency. I heard from some fans they are unhappy Flood changed baseball history with his movement, but I don’t see it that way. Free Agency caused players like Carlton Fisk to move on, which I covered in season 1, but it also brought Kirk Gibson to LA.      One Amazing streak comes to an end. On August 13, 1906 — At Washington Park in Brooklyn, John "Brakeman" Taylor is replaced by a reliever for the first time since June of 1901 when the Brooklyn Superbas knock him out of the game in the third inning. During the five-year span, the Orphans’ right-hander completed a remarkable 1,727 innings of work that included 187 consecutive complete games, as well as finishing up 15 games in relief, during this stretch of 202 appearances he was not relived once. In 10 years, he will fail to finish only eight of 286 starts. The Orphans, who will become the Cub's however dismantled the Superbas, later to be named the Dodgers 11-3 and Orval Overall will pick up the W.  In a 15 game series vs the upstart Chicago White Sox, Rumors swirled about the series, with James A. Hart accusing Taylor of having “laid down” against the Sox in his last three starts. He was traded in the offseason on 1903 from the team and then reacquired during the 1906 season. Taylor retired after the 1907 season when the Cub’s would win their first of 2 straight World Series.   On August 14, 1958, Vic Power of the Cleveland Indians steals home twice in the same game. His second stolen base gives the Indians a 10-9 win in 10 innings. Not known for his base-stealing ability, Power will finish the season with only three stolen bases. During his 12-year career Power will steal 45 total bases and get caught 35 times, he stole 9 twice and in 1959 he had a career-high 9 steaks and 13 caught stealing. Power mainly a starter, also appeared 4 times in his career as a pinch-runner, at age 36 and 38. He also once got out of a jam on the base paths by running directly towards the fielder running with the ball, while waving his arms in the air. He flustered him enough that he threw the ball to someone else instead of tagging Power. Needless to say, despite his amazing feat, Ty Cobb was never concerned by Vic.   August 15, 1995 - At the request of the Mantle family, Bob Costas delivers the eulogy at Mickey's funeral. The popular broadcaster, known for his love of the game and his admiration of the Yankee superstar, describes the Hall of Famer as "a fragile hero to whom we had an emotional attachment so strong and lasting that it defied logic." August 16/17 - On a dreary afternoon at the Polo Grounds in New York, popular Indians shortstop Ray Chapman suffers a fractured skull when he is hit in the head by a fastball thrown by Yankee right-handed submariner Carl Mays. Ray Chapman led off the fifth inning and the first pitch from Mays struck him on the left side of his head. He crumpled to the ground. Umpire Tommy Connolly, who was working the plate, immediately turned to the stands. He requested the services of a physician. Two responded to Connolly’s plea. A silence came over the crowd as the doctors worked on Chapman. Eventually, he was able to get to his feet with the aid of two teammates and walked across the infield to the Cleveland clubhouse (which players accessed through the center field at the Polo Grounds). But Chapman lost consciousness, and two teammates had to carry him to the clubhouse. Chapman was taken to St. Lawrence Hospital, a half-mile from the ballpark. Chapman will survive the surgery that night but The 29-year-old newlywed will die shortly before daybreak tomorrow, becoming be the first and only on-field player fatality in major league history. Many players wanted to take action against Carl Mays, but none was ever taken. “It is the most regrettable incident of my baseball career,” said Mays. “I would give anything if I could undo what has happened. Chapman was a game, splendid fellow.” August  18, 1967, another tragedy occurs, Boston born and raised Tony Conigliaro playing for his hometown Red Sox is beaned by the Angels’ Jack Hamilton. Hit on the left cheekbone, just below the eye socket, Conigliaro the 22-year-old who is showing Cooperstown stature will miss the rest of this year and all of 1968. The batting helmet he was wearing did not have the protective ear-flap that has since become standard. He was able to win the comeback player of the year award in 69, and hit a career-high 36 home runs in 1970, but had to retire after a short stint with the Angels in 1971 because of the damage to his vision. From Bill Nowlin in his SABR bio I got this tidbit, Ted Williams warned Ed Penney, Tony’s partner in a music business “Tell Tony that he’s crowding the plate. Tell him to back off.” He said, “It’s getting too serious now with the Red Sox.” Penney remembered, “I told him I would. I’d see him the next night. When we were walking across the field to get the kids, and Ted was going up to the stands to make some kind of talk, he turned around and yelled over to me and said, ‘Don’t forget what I told you to tell Tony. Back off, because they’ll be throwing at him.’”  Tony was in a slump at the time and told his brother Billy he couldn’t back off the plate or pitchers wouldn’t take him seriously. If anything, he was going to dig in a little closer. We all would have been a little better off to see where his amazing career could of have gone.   Now for a special new segment – A fans story – by Raymond Wilson On August 8, 1987 - Steve Carlton, now a Minnesota Twin won his only game as a MN Twin - it turned out to be the last win of his great career of 329 wins. Ray was there - a 9 to 2 win over the Oakland A's. He pitched into the 9th inning. In 1994 - Ray was there in Cooperstown when he Carlton was enshrined in the BB H of Fame.  The day after, Steve signed autographs . . . I got in line - the very FIRST in line - (3 hour wait - so worth it! ). He autograph my baseball, which had a Minnesota logo on it. I told Steve about being at his 329th win - he said, you sure go all out and a long way :) . . . You see the baseball belonged to my son, Joey, who was given that ball by his grandpa at a concession stand the night of the game. Joey's favorite player was Kirby Puckett - once in the game, Joey stood and yelled, Come on Kirby - hit a homerun! The very first pitch, Kirby hit a HR. Sadly, Joey died in 1988 . . . (long illness) . . . So along with Steve's signature - a few years later, Kirby also autograph that baseball. I keep the ball in a plastic cube. . . My daughter's Susanna, - she named her first son, - gave him Joseph as his middle name. . . Years from now I will eventually pass that ball onto my daughter and then she later will pass it on to her son, - a momento . . . That game -- my visit to Cooperstown - hearing his speech . . . talking with him.... a treasured memory I will have forever! Thank you Ray for sharing your story.

Dan Saladino hunts down that flavour we call 'bitter', and asks if bitterness is disappearing from our food and drink - and why this matters. Bitter tastes are found all over the planet; wild leaves, fruits, vegetables and more. Bitterness is also charged with cultural and culinary meaning. It can be revered, sought after - but it is also a sign of toxicity, and is, it seems, increasingly being shunned. Dan Saladino talks to Jennifer McLagan, author of the James Beard Award-winning book "Bitter: A Taste of the World's Most Dangerous Flavour", who begun her epic journey into bitter following a conversation about grapefruits. Journalist and science writer Marta Zaraska has been tracking the de-bittering of our food, and reveals her findings, including the 'holy grail' of the assault on bitter. He also seeks out bitterness in the wild with forager and wild food specialist Miles Irving, and discovers the secrets of the bitter gourd (also known as bitter melon or karela) within a food culture that still deeply values bitterness, in the company of food writer and cookery teacher Monisha Bharadwaj. As Dan delves into the world of bitter flavours, he shares a bitter brew with Professor Peter Barham - author of "The Science of Cooking" - and visits the drinks laboratory run by cocktail experts Tony Conigliaro and Max Venning. Tasting bitter leaves, crystals, digestifs and more along the way, Dan asks what we stand to lose if we lose the taste for bitter. Presenter: Dan Saladino Producer: Rich Ward.

The word terroir is often used to describe wine and the region, land and soil in which its grapes are grown. Often, a wine’s terroir directly impacts its flavor profile. Tony Conigliaro, always on the cutting edge of bartending, cocktail creation and distillation, has taken terroir, quite literally, and distilled it. Blending three distillations of flint stone, clay and reindeer moss, Tony has created a “cocktail in a bottle” that tastes like nothing else on earth.

This time on Life in Scents, we meet legendary bartender Tony Conigliaro, whose drinks grace bar menus around the world and who loves nothing more than to introduce techniques from perfumery and science into his work, developing new ideas at his London-based research centre, Drinks Factory. Tony talks about why Soho to him will always smell of violets (and not in a good way), how he once used camphor to create a Narnian wardrobe moment, and how he managed to turn a memory of walking in a peaceful Portland forest into a drink. Tony also reveals an early interest in fragrance, starting with miniature-scent-bottle collecting in his teenage years. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week on Cooking Issues, Dave Arnold is joined in the studio by cocktail and drink expert Tony Conigliaro of the Drink Factory Lab, 69 Colebrooke Row & The Zetter Townhouse. Tune in as they answer questions about everything from binary reactions of taste combinations in cocktails to low temperature heart cooking and even gizzard pickling! As usual, Cooking Issues is the only place in the world you can get the inside track on all the tech and cooking questions that nobody else will answer. Learn more about tenderizing meat, irradiated food and bottle strength carbonation! This program is brought to you by our friends at Modernist Pantry.. “I love heart. I haven’t done much low temperature cooking with heart, but grilling it quickly is my favorite way to prepare heart. There’s nothing quite like a grilled chicken heart. If I could just grill chickens that only had hearts and skin, I’d do it.” “When you irradiate food, there’s no residual radiation left in the food. One of the issues is textual degradation over time with the food. It’s the same problem you have with high pressure sterilization.” “If you taste a drink flat that you want carbonated, it should taste a little weak and low in acid.” –Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues

Oh Gosh! TV pays a visit to 69 Colebrooke Row, one of London's newest cocktail bars ran by bartending legend Tony Conigliaro. Pull up a stool and join Tony C as he makes an Oh Gosh!, a Daiquiri variation he created some years ago, and the cocktail this very site is named after!
