It's fifty years since the TV series of Planet of the Apes debuted, enlivening the childhood of millions around the planet of the humans. Phil and Colin enjoyed the show as kids, but now undertake a celebratory rewatch, reviewing the adventures of Virdon (the blond one), Burke (the dark-haired one), and Galen (the hairy one). We also have a Planet of the Apes quiz, and our usual round up of recommendations of past, present and future SF. For full show notes, check out our blog at 101sf.blogspot.com

It seems like Almost Yesterday that the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team traded one of their most famous players, Enos Slaughter, to the New York Yankees for Mel Wright and four players to be named later. One of those four players, named later, was Bill Virdon, who became a successful major leaguer.

It's the opening day of the 1955 season, and leading off for the Cardinals is Wally Moon, who won "Rookie Of The Year" in 1954, memorably hitting a home run during his first At Bat in the Majors. Second in the line-up is Bill Virdon, who would go on to win "Rookie Of The Year" for 1955, giving the Cardinals back-to-back Rookies. Both would go on to pick up Gold Gloves and World Series Rings, although Moon would eclipse Virdon with three All-Star appearances and three rings, compared to Virdon's two rings. Virdon would head down the managers' route after retiring in 1968, finishing with a winning record of .519. Today's broadcast goes back to the start, with the 54 Rookie and 55 Rookie leading off against the Chicago Cubs. Gene Elston, Jack Quinlan, and Bert Wilson call the game. You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN195504120.shtml This game was played on April 12, 1955. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

Unaware that a chimpanzee scientist plans to use a human prisoner's flying machine for her own deadly purpose, Virdon, Burke and Galen help the man, Leuric, to build a hang glider.last episode

When they are captured by a human community that provides human slaves to the apes, Virdon and Burke's survival is dependent on convincing their captors to rebel against the apes.

With the help of an ape doctor, Virdon and Burke race to concoct a cure for a malaria outbreak. They must succeed before Urko implements his own version of a cure: burning down the village with everyone in it.

To foil the plans of a tyrannical gorilla who is trying to overthrow the chimpanzee prefect and gain control over a human farming district, Galen, Virdon and Burke risk an encounter with Urko. Urko and Burke are forced to work together again.

Virdon agrees to race a chimpanzee Prefect's horse against Urkos best horse, in exchange for a condemned boy's freedom. Urko has never lost a race, but of course, as Virdon finds out, Urko doesn't play fair. Despite Urko's treachery and cheating, Virdon prevails in the end.

Galen, Virdon and Burke befriend a chimpanzee named Fauna, the blind daughter of a human friendly ape who was killed by a band of vigilante apes known as the Dragoons. Unaware that Burke is human, Fauna falls in love with him, as Galen and Virdon hunt down the Dragoons, only to discover that Fauna's uncle is one of them.

While walking on an ocean beach with Galen, Virdon and Burke see a condemned man lashed to a raft in the water. They rescue him and carry him to a nearby cave but then an ape-on-patrol captures the two astronauts and takes them to his boss, Hurton.

Burke and Virdon discover a holographic message from scientists from their own time, which might help them find out what happened to their world, while they are exploring the ruins of Oakland.

When Galen hurts his leg and can't travel, Virdon and Burke seek refuge in a farm till their friend recovers. The farm is operated by a gruff but decent ape named Polar, his wife Zantes, and their three children: older son Anto, younger son Remus, and daughter Jillia. Polar puts to work the two strangers who teach him about contour farming, windmill building, seed selection, etc. Polar soon accepts these changes but Anto resents the strangers, fearing they will hex a cow about to give birth. (Until the cow delivers a bull calf, Anto can't start a farm of his own.) When Virdon helps deliver not one but two bull calves, Anto is won over and names the calves Virdon and Burke.

Burke and Virdon are faced with having to fight to the death when they are captured, and the Ape Prefect amuses himself by staging gladiator-style fights between the humans in his charge.

One of those four players, named later, was Bill Virdon, who became a successful major leaguer.

Dr. David Jerome's new book, "Bill Virdon: A Life in Baseball" is about Bill Virdon, the National League Rookie of the Year in 1955 and a fixture as the Pittsburgh Pirate outfield for a decade. Later, Virdon served as a coach and manager in the big leagues. From 1975 until 1982, Virdon managed the Houston Astros, leading the team to its first divisional title in 1980. We're joined in the interview by Virdon's widow, Shirley who shared some special memories of her favorite ballpark and how she met Bill. The couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary a few weeks before Bill passed away in November 2021. -->Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tT8d3pVUsN -->You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books through our store at Bookshop.org.

LINHA DO TEMPO Uma pequena aula de história da evolução dos símios. 1972 Os astronautas Taylor, Dodge, Landon e Stewart partem do Cabo Canaveral (EUA), em uma missão exploratória à Constelação de Orion. No mesmo ano, para investigar o desaparecimento da tripulação de Taylor, uma segunda equipe de astronautas é enviada ao espaço; um de seus integrantes é John Brent. 1973 Os cientistas chimpanzés Cornelius, Zira e Milo chegam aos EUA, a bordo da espaçonave de Taylor. Milo é morto em um zoológico, e os demais tornam-se convidados de honra do governo norte-americano. Após gerarem um bebê macaco, Zira e Cornelius são mortos pelo exército. O bebê é "adotado" pelo Dono De Circo Armando. 1981 Os astronautas Alan Virdon e Peter Burke abandonam a Terra, em uma missão exploratória a Alfa Centauri. 1983 Um vírus espacial elimina todos os cães e gatos do planeta, o que leva o homem a adotar macacos como mascotes e, posteriormente, como escravos. 1991 A "América Do Norte" passa a ser controlada por um governo totalitário. Ao atingir a maturidade, Caesar (o filho de Zira e Cornelius) lidera os escravos símios em uma rebelião contra o homem. 1992 Em meio ao caos da revolução símia, o mundo é devastado pela 3a Guerra Mundial. 1992-2000 Cesar reúne homens e macacos sobreviventes do conflito e funda uma colônia primitiva. No entanto, eles não são os únicos herdeiros da Terra. Várias cidades humanas ainda são habitadas. A precipitação radioativa existente nestas ruínas começa a provocar uma mutação no homo-sapiens. 2001 A cidadela símia administrada por Cesar entra em guerra com um grupo de mutantes, chefiados pelo Governador Kolp. Após a batalha (vencida pelos macacos), Cesar institui a paz entre ambas as espécies. 2040 Morte de Caesar. 2040-3085 A civilização símia afasta-se radicalmente dos ensinamentos de Cesar. Os humanos são relegados a um segundo plano e tornam-se servos ou escravos dos macacos. 3085 Os astronautas Alan Virdon, Peter Burke e Jones regressam à Terra. Jones morre na aterrissagem, e os demais passam a ser perseguidos pela elite política do planeta, representada pelo Conselheiro Chefe Zaius e pelo Chefe De Segurança Urko. Em companhia do chimpanzé Galen, Virdon e Burke vivem muitas aventuras; o destino final dos heróis é ignorado. 3085-3978 Tiranizada e segregada pelos macacos, a humanidade, progressivamente, regride a um estado de primitivismo tribal. Os poucos sobreviventes da espécie refugiam-se nas florestas. O homem volta a ser um animal. 3979 A espaçonave comandada por Taylor regressa à Terra. Capturado, o astronauta conquista a simpatia de Zira e Cornelius. Ao refugiar-se na "Zona Proibida", ele descobre que está de volta ao seu próprio pl, Cornelius e Milo abandonam a Terra, a bordo da nave de Taylor.
