The 1980 Philadelphia Phillies delivered the most celebrated season in franchise history to that point, capturing their first-ever World Series title after nearly a century of trying. Managed by Dallas Green, the team combined veteran leadership, clutch hitting, and a deep pitching staff to finish 91–71 and win the National League East in a tightly contested race.Mike Schmidt led the charge with an MVP season, blasting 48 home runs and driving in 121 runs while playing elite defense at third base. He was the undisputed anchor of the lineup. Pete Rose, in his second year with the Phillies, brought postseason experience and grit, while Greg Luzinski, Bake McBride, and Garry Maddox rounded out a dangerous offense.The pitching staff was anchored by Steve Carlton, who went 24–9 and won his third Cy Young Award. Tug McGraw provided energy and reliability out of the bullpen, delivering several key performances in high-leverage situations down the stretch and into the postseason.The Phillies survived a dramatic NLCS against the Houston Astros, considered one of the greatest playoff series ever played. In the World Series, they defeated the Kansas City Royals in six games, with Schmidt and Carlton leading the way and McGraw striking out Willie Wilson to seal the title.The 1980 Phillies ended decades of frustration for the franchise and their fanbase, finally securing a championship for a team that had long carried the burden of being baseball's oldest and most title-starved club.- 3B - Mike Schmidt- LF-RF - Lonnie Smith- RF - Bake McBride- LF - Greg Luzinski- 2B - Manny Trillo- 1B - Pete Rose- CF - Garry Maddox- C - Bob Boone- SS - Larry Bowa- SP - Bob Walk- SP - Steve Carlton- SP-RP - Randy Lerch- SP - Dick Ruthven- RP - Tug McGraw- RP - Ron Reed
October 10, 2004 The Boston Globe reports growing concern for Curt Shillings ailing right ankle. With two days to go before game one of the American league Championship series against the Yankees in the Bronx, Schilling was downplaying the injury and all but guaranteed he would make every scheduled start the rest of the way.

Yogi Berra hits a pair of two-run home runs and Bill Skowron hits a grand slam. It's the seventh and final time Brooklyn and the Yankees meet in the Series. In the future, it will take a jet, not a subway, to get these two teams together, as the Dodgers will move to Los Angeles in 1958.October 10, 1973 - Tom Seaver hurls the Mets into the World Series for the second time in four years with a 7 - 2 victory over Cincinnati in Game Five of the National League Championship Series. Tug McGraw would be brought in for relief and the two would combine for a 7 hit performance before a crowd of 50,323 at Shea Stadium.October 10, 1999 - The Boston Red Sox set an all-time postseason record by scoring 23 runs in defeating the Cleveland Indians, 23 - 7. The win ties their American League Division Series at two games apiece. Boston gets 24 hits in the contest, including five by Mike Stanley and four each by John Valentin and Jason Varitek. Valentin hits a pair of home runs with seven RBI, while Jose Offerman and Trot Nixon have two RBI each.

he Secret Apartment is the story of a Vietnam vet who claims to have lived in Veterans Stadium for years. In Philadelphia lore, few bygone structures loom larger than Veterans Stadium, where the Phillies won the 1980 World Series with Tug McGraw at the mound and an Eagles court was created to deal out swift justice to drunk fans. Some called the multipurpose stadium and its AstroTurf field an embarrassment to the city of Philadelphia. Others called it a part of their lives. Tom Garvey just called it home. In his book, The Secret Apartment: Vet Stadium, a surreal memoir, Garvey details how from 1979 to 1981 he lived in an empty concession stand inside the Vet which he secretly refurbished into an apartment in his very own "off-the-wall South Philly version of the Phantom of the Opera."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the best METS players of all time to the table for discussion.
1977 NLCS Meeting up for the first of two consecutive NLCS battles in 1977 and 1978, the Philadelphia Phillies (101-61) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (98-64) face off with games one and two at Dodger Stadium, and the final three (if necessary) at Veterans Stadium in Philly. The Phillies captured their second of three consecutive NL East titles behind the stewardship of Danny Ozark. The Fightin's had the best lineup in the NL, and they were stacked at nearly every position. Michael Jack Schmidt was his typical outstanding self (38 HR 101 RBI .274/.393/.574 151 OPS+), but it was Greg ‘the Bull' Luzinski (39 HR 130 RBI .309/.394/.594 156 OPS+) who finished runner-up in MVP voting. The mid-season trade for former Cardinals OF Bake McBride bolstered are already strong outfield core with Garry Maddox and the Bull. Larry Bowa and Bob Boone provided excellent defense and timely hits, while platoon hitters like Jay Johnstone, Tim McCarver, and Davey Johnson crushed their opportunities. ‘Lefty' Steve Carlton picked up his second career Cy Young by leading the NL in wins, but the rest of the rotation left a lot to be desired. These Phillies were able to win over a 100 games because Danny Ozark could turn to a dominant bullpen, with 4 guys (Gene Garber, Ron Reed, Tug McGraw, and Warren Brusstar) sporting ERAs in the 2s. With a high-powered offense, a true ace, and a lights-out bullpen, this is a modern team to be reckoned with. In his first full year as manager of the Dodgers, Tommy Lasorda led this storied franchise back to the playoffs. His lineup packs a punch to rival the Phillies, with four 30+ home run hitters (Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Dusty Baker, and Reggie Smith). The corner infielders (Garvey and Cey) both drove in 110+ runs, while the corner outfielders (Baker and Smith) provided more in on-base and slugging, with Smith leading the NL in OPS+ and finishing fourth in MVP voting. Where the Dodgers had the greatest edge over the league was with their pitching staff, who collectively had a 3.22 ERA, 20% better than league average. All 5 of their starters pitched over 200 innings with above average ERAs and double digit wins. Tommy John led the way with 20 wins and a 2.78 ERA. The bullpen was not as reliable as Philadelphia's, but that is partially because they weren't relied on as frequently. The pitching matchups will be as follows: Game 1 @ LAD - LHP Tommy John (20 - 7 2.78 ERA 220 IP) vs. LHP Steve Carlton (23 - 10 2.64 ERA 283 IP) Game 2 @ LAD - RHP Don Sutton (14 - 8 3.18 ERA 240 IP) vs. Jim Lonborg (11 - 4 4.11 ERA 157 IP) Game 3 @ PHI - RHP Larry Christenson (19 - 6 4.06 ERA 219 IP) vs. Burt Hooton (12 - 7 2.62 ERA 223 IP) Game 4 @ PHI - LHP Steve Carlton vs. LHP Tommy John Audio clips from Youtube linked below Game 1 - Vin Scully on KTTV Game 2 - Russ Porter and Jerry Doggett on KTTV Game 3 - Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, and Andy Musser on WPHL-TV Game 4 - Dick Enberg and Don Drysdale on NBC (plus Kalas on WPHL-TV) As always, shout out to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, boxscores, background information, and much, much more.

Oct. 12, 1972 -- In game 5 of the American League ChampionshipSeries the A's, win 2-1 over the Detroit Tigers. The deciding run comes in the secondinning with Mickey Lolitch on the mound, Mike Epstein on first, and Reggie Jackson on third when A's Manager DickWilliams flashes the sign for a double steal. Reggie bounded down the thirdbase line on the delayed steal as Tiger's shortstop Dick McAuliffe cut off the throw to second and fired it backto A's Catcher Bill Freehan. Reggie and Freehan collided and Jackson was calledsafe at the plate. Sal Bando, A's Captain, recalled that “Reggie had an unusual way of sliding. Hewould jump up, then leave his feet." Whether it was the slide or the collision, this time it would result ina torn left hamstring that would force Reggie to leave the game and keep himfrom appearing in the '72 World Series. Jackson is the only player to eversteal home in league championship play. After the chaos of that hard fought seriesDick Williams was quoted as saying that he slept like a baby. That is, he “wokeup every two hours crying”. October 12, 1980 - The Philadelphia Phillies defeat theHouston Astros, 8 - 7, to capture the NLCS in 6 games. In the 10th inning,Garry Maddox drives in Del Unser to end a dramatic playoff series that featuredfour extra-inning games. The game and series ended with Tug McGraw striking outWillie Wilson at 11:29 p.m. Wilson set a World Series record by striking outtwelve times in the six-game set. Ryan Howard, also of the Phillies, wouldbreak that record by striking out 13 times in the 2009 World Series. SteveCarlton would get the win, Tug McGraw would get the save and Mike Schmidt wasnamed the World Series MVP. The Phillies became the last of the original AL andNL franchises to win a World Series title. This was also the first World Seriesto be played on artificial turf.

Dickie Dunn pays homage in todays vault to Ted Williams, Tug McGraw and Mikal Bridges on their birthday.
August 11 1907: The Cardinals Ed Karger throws a perfect game against the Boston Doves in the second game of a doubleheader. The game was shortened to 7 innings by prior agreement which was commonplace at the time. This is the only abridged perfect game or no hitter that was not shortened by weather in the history of the game. After missing 6 weeks‚ first with broken ribs‚ then a thumb broken in a fight with a butcher's clerk‚ Ty Cobb signs a new 3-year contract and returns to the Tiger's lineup on August 11th, 1914. Cobb would play in only 97 games that season‚ but would still go on win another batting crown hitting .368. Under existing rules his 345 at bats were enough to qualify. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? August 11th, 1950. Hitting just .279 and languishing in a 4 for 38 slump, Yankee great Joe DiMaggio is benched for the first time in his career. His replacement‚ Cliff Mapes‚ gives the Yankees a 7 - 6 win over the A's with a mammoth 7th inning homer.1979 Phillies's reliever Tug McGraw surrenders an 8th inning grand slam to the Pirates' Ed Ott as the Bucs win 14 - 11. This would be the 4th grand slam McGraw gave up that season setting a new National League mark and tying with Detroit's Ray Narleski who did it in 1959. The Cubs paraded out 10 pitchers in a 17 inning, 10 to 8 loss to the Pirates on August 11th, 1985. This game is the continuation of a contest that started on April 20 but was suspended because of darkness. Barry Jones‚ the winning pitcher who struck out the side‚ and Barry Bonds‚ who drove in the game-winning run‚ were both in the minors when the game started. The losing Frank DiPino started the season with Houston. August 11th, 2009 Boston's 7 - 5 win over Detroit at Fenway Park is marred by a brawl in the 2nd inning. When Kevin Youkilis is hit by a Rick Porcello pitch, he charges the mound and both benches empty. Both players are ejected, and Youk's replacement, Mike Lowell, hits two home runs to power the Red Sox to victory.

The A's held their 50th anniversary celebration for the 1973 World Series yesterday, and Brandon Nimmo was not having it. In fact, Nimmo was so not down with the Oakland dynasty that he decided to make the day more about the 1969 Mets, emulating Fall Classic catches by Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda.Swoboda couldn't help the Mets in 1973 against the A's because he was traded with Rich Hacker to the Expos right before the 1971 season, in exchange for Don Hahn. It wasn't Hahn's fault that the Mets couldn't take down Oakland 50 years ago, as he went 3-for-4 in Game 7 and was on base in the ninth inning when Wayne Garrett, representing the tying run at the plate at Oakland Coliseum, popped up to end it.After the next season, Hahn was part of the trade that sent Tug McGraw to Philadelphia, and brought Mac Scarce, John Stearns, and Del Unser to New York. Scarce was traded a few months later for Tom Hall, who was meh out of the 1975 Mets bullpen and then traded to the Royals for minor leaguer Bryan Jones, who never advanced past A-ball, early in the 1976 season. Stearns only played one game with the Phillies, then 810 for the Mets from 1975-84, so he had some extremely bad teammates over the years. Unser may be thought of as one of those, as one of the classic ‘70s dudes who couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag — Unser had a .677 career OPS — but he did hit .294/.337/.392 for the 1975 Mets, with 10 of his 87 career home runs, a total that trailed only Dave Kingman (37) and Rusty Staub (19) on a team that hit a total of just 101 dingers.The Mets traded Unser in July of 1976 to the Expos, along with Garrett, for Jim Dwyer and Pepe Mangual. Dwyer, who was in the majors until 1990, only took 15 plate appearances in 11 games as a Met, then was part of a three-team trade that sent him to the Cubs, Pete LaCock to the Royals, and Sheldon Mallory to the Mets. Mallory didn't make the Mets out of 1977 spring training and had his contract sold to the A's,where he played his only 64 major league games, hitting .214/.291/.262 with 12 stolen bases.Mangual played nearly five times as many games as a Met than Dwyer did, with 49: the last 49 games he spent in the majors, hitting at a .183/.258/.294 clip before the Mets sent him to the Angels in a deal for Gil Flores.Flores, then, was almost as bad with the bat in 81 games as a Mets reserve outfielder, hitting .213/.281/.279 with one homer, off Bill Bonham in Cincinnati on August 19, 1979. It was an inside-the-parker, according to Baseball Reference, and also didn't save the Mets from a 6-5 loss.The 1979 season wasn't the end of Flores' career. He went to Triple-A Tidewater in 1980 and stayed there for five seasons, stealing a total of 107 bases while playing alongside many of the players — Wally Backman, Jesse Orosco, Darryl Strawberry, and Mookie Wilson to name a few — who wound up winning it all with the 1986 Mets.It's not really a straight line from Swoboda to 1986, just as Nimmo's catch yesterday wasn't exactly the same… but it sure is enough to make you smile and remember why you love this game. If that's the kind of thing you're into. If it's not, and you're asking “who cares about this?” you can join Homer Simpson. This is a public episode.

The Mets and A's are all tied up at two games apiece, with one final game at Shea Stadium before the series heads back to Oakland. New York sends veteran lefty Jerry Koosman (14 - 15, 2.84 ERA 263 IP) to the mound, having yet to lose a postseason game in his career (5 GS, 3 - 0, 4.09 ERA 32.2 IP). Oakland manager Dick Williams counters with former Cy Young and MVP Vida Blue (20 - 9, 3.28 263 IP), who has yet to win a playoff game in his career (12 G, 5 GS, 0 - 3 5.73 33 IP). Neither manager had to turn to their respective relief aces, Tug McGraw and Rollie Fingers, in the Mets blowout win in game four, so expect both to be called upon in high leverage situations. The Mets look to continue their excellent run of pitching, the staff sporting a combine 1.67 ERA coming into this game. Both teams are looking to clean up the defense, as costly errors have played a major role so far in this series. Who will gain control and place themselves just one win away from a World Series Championship? Tune in to this excellent game 5 five.

After two exciting, 5-game championship series, we are on to the 1973 World Series between the A's and the Mets. These teams took much different paths to get here, but both are on fire heading into the Fall Classic. The Mets won 20 of their final 28 games to end the season, and they upset the highly favored Big Red Machine in the NLCS. The A's cruised to the AL West title, but they had a tough matchup against the Baltimore Orioles, requiring a shutout from Catfish Hunter in the final game to advance. These playoffs have been a thrill so far, and they're only going to get more exciting in this series. In game one, we have a duel between lefties, both coming off of outstanding performances. Oakland's Ken Holtzman (21 - 13 2.97 297 IP) went all 11 innings in his victory over the O's in Game 3 of the ALCS, and New York's young star Jon Matlack (14 - 16 3.20 242 IP) threw a two-hit shutout against the Reds in a brilliant Game 2 of the NLCS. Both are looking to continue their excellence to start this World Series. If needed, both teams can turn to standout relievers if the starters can't get it done. Future Hall-of-Famer Rollie Fingers is the go to for A's manager Dick Williams (another Future Hall-of-Famer). 1972 Hall of Fame inductee Yogi Berra of the Mets won't hesitate to bring in Tug McGraw for the Mets, though every outing of his has potential to produce anxiety for a manager. These teams have championship experience, and they will need to utilize it to take advantage in this series. Audio Clips from Phenia Films the MLB Archives Original Broadcast Youtube.

With yet another late-inning, comeback win in Game 5, the Phillies return home to Veterans Stadium just one win away from their first ever World Series. Embattled manager Dallas Green couldn't ask for a better pitcher in Game 6: the best lefty to ever throw a baseball, Steve Carlton (24 - 9 2.34 ERA 304 IP). Slugger Mike Schmidt (game tying run) and ace reliever Tug McGraw (win and 3 scoreless innings of relief) played hero in the ninth inning, and the bottom of the order has consistently provided a spark with defensives whizzes SS Larry Bowa and C Bob Boone hitting like All-Stars. The Royals have played well so far, but they just haven't been able to close games out. An early lead was erased in Game One, and the typically lockdown Dan Quisenberry blew late leads in Games Two and Five, seemingly dooming KC to a potential series loss. Big righty Rich Gale (13 - 9 3.92 ERA 190 IP) gets the nod in an elimination game, though manager Jim Frey will be sure to have all hands on deck with the season on the line. His lineup has put constant pressure on the Philadelphia pitching and defense, though it has perhaps lacked the key hit or knockout blow. The middle of the order (Brett, Aikens, McRae, and Otis) have been phenomenal, but the others (Wilson, Washington, and White) have struggled mightily. Can KC stave off elimination, or will PHI finally break through with a championship? Tune in to an excellent conclusion to this thrilling series. Audio Clips from Youtube.

With the series all knotted up at two games apiece, a pivotal Game 5 matchup will likely determine who wins the 1980 World Series. Both the Phillies and the Royals have held serve at home to this point in the series, and neither wants to be on the brink of elimination when we head back to Philadelphia for Game 6. The starting pitching matchup: KC lefty ace Larry Gura (18 - 10 2.59 ERA 283 IP) versus Philly rookie righty Marty Bystrom (5 - 0 1.50 ERA 36 IP). Perhaps more pertinent to each manager are the statuses of their respective bullpen aces. Royals sidewinder Dan Quisenberry has pitched in every game of this series, with mixed results. He was shelled in a Game 2 blown save and loss, though he has bounced back with two excellent outings the past two games, earning a win and a multi-inning save. Phillies lefty Tug McGraw has been up and down so far for the Phillies, saving Game 1 but taking a walk-off loss in Game 3. If this game goes how the others have, expect both of these star relievers to be in the game late and close. Who will take control of this thrilling series?

Our 40th guest on Press Box Access is the esteemed Mark Whicker, one of my all-time favorite writers and people in the sports media business. He takes us on a winding road through his career of nearly five decades. We're in locker rooms with Julius Erving, Darryl Dawkins, Pete Rose and Tug McGraw. There are late nights with a baseball GM known as “The Pope,” fan fights at The Vet, and police horses on a World Series field. Mark puts in the Forum Club for the jammed press conference when Magic Johnson announced he had HIV. He recounts a special column about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the fans' roar that carried Cathy Freeman to a gold medal, and what it was like at the 2001 World Series in New York weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Hear why Mark thinks David Thompson was the most important basketball player in ACC history, what it was like to witness meltdowns by Jean van de Velde and Greg Norman, and how there was menace in the Miami air on the night Aaron Pryor fought Alexis Arguello. And much more. Whicker spent the bulk of his 48 years as a sportswriter and award-winning columnist in southern California and Philadelphia. The Associated Press Sports Editors twice voted him a top 10 columnists in the nation, and he won three state Sportswriter of the Year awards. Mark received the 2014 Nat Fleischer Award, presented by the Boxing Writers Association of America for his distinguished coverage of many of the marquee fights since the late 1970s. In 2020, he was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Fame. Mark graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1973. He lives in Long Beach, Ca., with his wife, Robyn Norwood – a former sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times (1986 to 2008) and son. Follow Mark at @MWhicker03 Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's guest is Jeff McMahon. He has the most incredible career in the music industry. He was the keyboardist and vocalist for Tim McGraw's band The Dancehall Doctors for 18 years. Jeff wasn't with Tim from the beginning but early enough before Indian Outlaw came out, so let's say once he hired Jeff, Tim's career took off. Jeff even played "Live Like You're Dying" at the Country Music Awards. A song so special it took on a life of its own, shooting up the charts in record time, breaking a thirty-year record for consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Charts. Jeff also wrote the last chapter for Baseball legend Tug McGraw's autobiography "Ya Gotta Believe." He also ran marathons to raise awareness funds to advocate for the Tug McGraw Foundation while supporting research for brain tumor patients. Tug, was diagnosed back in 2003 with a brain tumor, yet he decided to continue moving forward. Jeff McMahon, has the biggest heart in Nashville, and in this episode, he discusses why we should "Live Life Like You're Dying," How To Move Forward, and why we "Gotta Believe." He also shares lessons from the road to help immerging artists find the success that he's had.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past. In acquiring Mac Scarce in the 1974 offseason the Mets were bringing on a young, left handed reliever who had an impressive 1973 before struggling a bit in 1974. Still, the team seemed to think enough of him—and young catching prospect John Stearns—to part with franchise icon Tug McGraw in a trade. That sentiment wouldn’t last long, though. Scarce would become a fascinating footnote in Mets history by facing one batter and surrendering a game ending single—appearing in one game and officially pitching zero innings—before being traded away four days later. As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

The 1969 Mets - a ninth place team in 1968, and a team which had five 100 loss seasons in the previous seven years - shocked the baseball world and won the World Series. Art Shamsky hit .300 for that team, and is dedicated to keeping the memory of the team and its colorful cast of characters alive. He joins Pesach and Scott for a wide-ranging discussion about his experiences and friendships with Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Pete Rose, Tony Perez and others, as well as about the reason for the '69 Mets' enduring appeal. He also talks about his experience as the manager of the short-lived Israel Baseball League Modiin Miracle, and what it taught him about managing. Listen in, you'll love it.

In 1973 I interviewed Willie Mays and Tug McGraw, during a New York Mets media day for radio stations on the Mets' network. At the time, I was a teenager interning at the radio station in my hometown of Torrington, CT. Dan Lovallo interviews Willie Mays To say I was nervous to interview arguably the greatest player in the game in Mays, would be an understatement. The interview was awkward and lasted about 75 seconds, but I am including it in this podcast, because how often does a teen get to interview Willie Mays? I am also including the interview with McGraw, who died in 2004, because it was the opposite of the Mays' interview. The closer for the Mets was gracious, perhaps sensing how nervous and young I was. Coincidentally, the father of award-winning country singer Tim McGraw, turned out to be one of the vital cogs for the Mets that season. He led a dramatic September comeback. The Mets went from last place in the Eastern Division to winning it and advancing to the World Series, before losing to the Oakland Athletics. And it was McGraw who coined the phrase "Ya Gotta Believe," during the Mets furious drive to the top. I hope you enjoy both interviews.
When is a no-hitter not a no-hitter? When Fay Vincent decided, 29 years ago this week, that it shouldn't be. Specifically, he decreed that any no-hitters shorter than nine full innings or that was broken up after the ninth no longer counted, consigning 50 no-hitters to the dustbin of history. That's where Mike and Bill find them this week, polish them up, and present them for your enjoyment. Plus, happy birthday to Tug McGraw and Ed Konetchy!

On today’s show, Tim welcomes Philadelphia Phillies 1980 World Series champion & Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt to the program. Schmidt shares about his early playing days right through college, the minors, and his 18-year career with the Phillies that included 8 National League home run titles, 548 career home runs, 12 All-Star appearances & 10 Gold Glove awards for defensive excellence--and highlighted by the 1980 World Series championship. Schmidt adds thoughts on his relationship with the Philadelphia fans, youth playing multiple sports (versus specializing) and what he's currently up to these days.

115 down. 47 to go. Three weeks ago, no Met fan could ever imagine this. Tomorrow (Friday) night, the race for the NL Wild Card commences as the Mets host the #1 WC seeded (at the moment) Washington Nationals in a three game series. If you're a baseball fan, a tortured, diehard fan of any team, but especially a Met fan, this is a podcast you won't want to miss. On this special edition (Episode 84) of The JAYREELZ Podcast, I'll preview the upcoming series and ask the question, 'Are you sucked in?' The rallying cry for this franchise from famed Met closer of the 1973 team, Tug McGraw, is 'Ya Gotta Believe!' I'm not speaking for the fan base, but I have a good grasp of what the majority thinks. More importantly, I'll provide in-depth analysis of whether or not this team will be one of the last two wild card teams standing in the NL? Or it'll end in bitter disappointment, which more often than not, is usually the case. Please subscribe, leave a rating and post a review on any of the platforms where you get your podcasts.

Ron Swoboda made one of the most memorable catches in New York Mets History, He broke in with the Mets in 1965 and was part of what manager Casey Stengal lovingly called the "Youth of America," Casey's expression for the corp of young players that would take the Mets from worst to first in four short years - players like Cleon Jones, Bud Harrelson, Tug McGraw who all debuted in that 1965 season. Just 2 full seasons later he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated with the word Slugger next to his name in the caption, He spent 6 years with the Mets and 3 more crosstown with the Yankees, he joins Mark and AJ to talk about it all.

Introduction: Anthony Scaramucci is a Tufts undergraduate, Harvard Law School graduate, and playing off of the title of a great song by Drake, a man with middle class-blue collar roots from Long Island who most definitely “started from the bottom” and is now very here. Prior to making his 950,400 seconds as Director of White House Communications during the summer of 2017 among the most 11 memorable and talked about days in West Wing history, Anthony was making a difference on Wall Street, in the early days with Goldman Sachs, and thereafter with Oscar Capital Management, Neuberger & Berman, Lehman Brothers and his very successful hedge fund of hedge funds, SkyBridge Capital. Anthony has long been on the cutting edge of thought provoking conversation, creations and ideas long before his recent multi-media appearances and headline grabbing quotes created impactful mental images for many. By way of example, SkyBridge Capital’s SALT conference in Las Vegas and Asia, with its star-studded panel of decision makers, industry experts, finance professionals and members of the alternative investment community, has been described as being committed to facilitating balanced discussions and debates on macro-economic trends, geo-political events and alternative investment opportunities within the context of a dynamic global economy. Anthony is a family man, who enjoys spending time at home and riding around his stomping grounds, Port Washington, New York. Episode Notes: At 4:13, Anthony Scaramucci discusses the message of his first book, doing the right thing and the importance of having the highest level of integrity. At 6:56, Anthony talks about why it’s crucial to know your craft. He is not the most organized guy or manager, but excels at team building and setting up a system for a team to flourish. He also delegates a ton of responsibility and autonomy to the individuals he works with. “People work with me. No one has ever worked for me” (at 7:34). At 8:19, Anthony takes us back to when he was 11 years old in 1975 and his paper route for Newsday that over he grew over time to be the largest paper route in the area. At 10:15, Anthony addresses his “oh my moments” and gives us his life message at 54 years old after being fired twice in his lifetime. At 12:39, he enlightens us about his introduction to literature professor at Tufts University, Sol Gittleman. At 14:17, Anthony discusses the importance of charity work, helping family and Jackie Robinson. At 15:34, he notes, “What are you going to do with the money? You going to have the hearse be carried by the brinks truck?” At 16:15, he speaks highly of Nana’s influence on his work ethic and Red Holzman’s team first mantra. At 18:42, Anthony reflects on his 950,400 seconds in The White House and being declared the hatchet man. He thought he would last longer than a carton of milk in the refrigerator. At 26:19, he shares a story about working at Ghost Motorcycles for his Uncle Sal, and the time in 1981 when Uncle Sal sent him to Harlem at 17 years old with “Chico the Doberman” to deliver a bike to a potential customer. At 33:33, Anthony informs us of the life and business lessons learned in his 1998 travels to Asia and meeting Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong’s richest man - always leave money on the table for your partners and the importance of a karma bank. At 38:01, he notes why you have to adapt or die and building a circle of competence, staying in your lane and putting your ego aside (at 41:06). At 42:16, Anthony describes “front stabbing” vs. “back stabbing” and “putting your name on it.” At 44:37, he explains The Windex Disorder and the power of networking. At 45:35, Anthony discusses why everyone should have an annual ambition checkup. At 47:41, he advises college students and job seekers to not make the mistake he made, and instead to “not pick the cool job.” At 52:35, Anthony’s shares “The 12th day” - a chapter in his new book releasing in October of 2018. This recounts the day after he was fired from The White House - how he dusted himself off and how he handled it. At 53:53, he talks about his Mets fandom and Tug McGraw’s 1973 tagline, “Ya Gotta Believe.” At 57:36, Anthony notes that he is unbothered by others perception of him and individuals in the political arena and the media not taking him at face value. At 1:00:18, he concludes with a story of when he was an 18-year-old President of Port Washington High School in 1981, and attended a meet and greet for President Ronald Reagan at The Plaza Hotel.
