Baseball and BBQ Episode #145 Features Author, William C. Kashatus, Champion Pitmaster from SmellaQue BBQ, Janice Smella, and Guest Co-host, Doug Scheiding William C. Kashatus is a historian, educator, and author of more than 20 books.  His latest project is Lefty & Tim:  How Steve Carlton and Tim McCarver Became Baseball's Best Battery.  The book is an outstanding look at two incredible baseball careers, which saw both men enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF).  Steve Carlton AKA Lefty is in the HOF for his dominating pitching career which included 329 victories, 4,136 strikeouts, six 20-win seasons, and four Cy Young Awards.  Tim McCarver, although an outstanding catcher, had a legendary broadcasting career once he hung up his spikes which culminated in his being named the 2012 Ford C. Frick Award winner for excellence in broadcasting.  Two men with huge careers who were at their best best when playing together.  It is a credit to his skills as an author that Kashatus is able to sum up their careers in one book, and as the reader we are quite fortunate he has.  This is an interview that baseball fans will truly enjoy.   Janice Smella loves to cook, and she is really good at it. As head cook for the SmellaQue BBQ team, three-time National Canadian BBQ Team of the Year in 2018, 2019, and 2021 she has the opportunity to indulge her passion of smoking and cooking outdoors. Her website poses the question, "So, who is Janice anyways?" The short answer is, "I'm just a gal that likes to cook." The long answer is much more than that. In addition to being a champion pitmaster, she is also an inventor of delicious recipes which can be found on https://smellaque.com/ and https://bushcooking.com/contributor/janice-smella/ She is also a television star, our words, not hers, after successful appearances on season three of Food Network's show, Fire Masters.

The ALL ME® Podcast Suicide Squeeze:  Bill Kashatus Did you know that there was a book that was written about Taylor Hooton?  In this podcast we had a chance to interview the author, Bill Kashatus, who wrote “Suicide Squeeze:  Taylor Hooton, Rob Garibaldi, and the Fight against Teenage Steroid Abuse.” During this interview you're going to learn more about why Bill is so passionate about history, teaching, writing and coaching.  He has such an incredible background that his life story which lead to writing a book about Taylor Hooton will keep you captivated.  Taylor's brother, Don Jr., hosts this episode and it was the first time he had been part of a book, which he will share his experience with us about what it was like. Bill is going to take us through what it was like meeting the Hooton and Garibaldi family.  You will hear him talk about why this was the hardest book he's had to write, and he's written a lot of books.  The book is one that all parents and high school students should take a moment to read.  Kashatus does a great job of taking a very complex topic and writing in a way that it's understandable to any audience.  Below you will find some of the links that were mentioned in this podcast if you'd like to learn how to pick up a copy of “Suicide Squeeze”. Publishers Summary: Appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs - specifically, anabolic steroids (APEDs) - provide a tempting competitive advantage for amateur baseball players. But this shortcut can exact a fatal cost on talented athletes. In his urgent book Suicide Squeeze, William Kashatus chronicles the experiences of Taylor Hooton and Rob Garibaldi, two promising high school baseball players who abused APEDs in the hopes of attracting professional scouts and Division I recruiters. However, as a result of their steroid abuse, they ended up taking their own lives. In Suicide Squeeze - named for the high-risk play in baseball to steal home - Kashatus identifies the symptoms and dangers of steroid use among teens. Using archival research and interviews with the Hooton and Garibaldi families, he explores the lives and deaths of these two young men, the impact of their suicides on MLB, and the ongoing fight against adolescent APED use by their parents. A passionate appeal to prevent additional senseless deaths by athletes, Suicide Squeeze is an important contribution to debates on youth and sports and on public policy. The book is published by Temple University Press. Critic Reviews: “A must-read for all parents and for everyone interested in the integrity of sports.” (Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Baseball) “Every young person who reads this book represents a life potentially saved.” (Randy Levine, president, New York Yankees, and board Member, Taylor Hooton Foundation)  “An outstanding book that should be read by anyone who has or will have a connection with young people who play sports. Suicide Squeeze reads like a novel and instructs like a textbook.” (Richard P. Borkowski, Sport and Recreation Safety Consultant) Resource Links: Learn more about William C.

William Still looms large in the history of the Underground Railroad, both for his role coordinating the Eastern Line and the records he maintained of the fugitives he saved. In William Still: The Underground Railroad and the Angel at Philadelphia (University of Notre Dame Press, 2021), William C. Kashatus provides his readers with both an account of Still’s life and a comprehensive database compiled from the many interviews his subject conducted with the runaway slaves he assisted. Himself the son of former slaves, Still grew up in the free black community of Philadelphia, at that time the largest in America. Employed by the Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society (PASS), Still worked alongside many of the leading figures of the abolitionist movement throughout the 1850s, playing a vital role in helping people escape from bondage. Though Still left PASS in 1861 for a successful career in business and philanthropy he remained a prominent figure in the postwar civil rights movement, while his authorship of the first published history of the Underground Railroad provided subsequent generations with a priceless resource about the hundreds of people he aided.
