Podcast appearances and mentions of Willie Mays

The strongest man in the world 50 years ago was Vasily Alekseyev of the Soviet Union and there he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated on April 14th, 1975. The question is… was he a nice guy? Apparently the answer was no. Because also in that issue was the 2nd part of a 4 part series from the book, “Nice Guys Finish Last,” from former player and Hall of Fame manager, Leo Durocher. The “Lip” was a heckuva ballplayer, spanning 20 years with the Yankees, Reds, Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1925-1945. A 3-time All-Star, and 4-time World Series champion, Durocher ended his playing days as a player/manager in Brooklyn and would go on to retire as the 5th winningest skipper in MLB history. Starting in 1939 with the Dodgers and then spending 8 more years with the Nw York Giants from 1948-1955, Durocher won his only World Series as a manager when Willie Mays and the Giants swept the Cleveland Indians in 1954. The next year was his last in New York and he wouldn't manage again until the Cubs hired him in 1966. Chicago was 59-103 in his first season guiding the team but didn't have a losing season in the remainder of his 5+ seasons at the helm. He would finish his Hall of Fame managerial career in Houston with another winning season in 1973. On that '73 teams was a young lefty who started 40 games for the Astros, completing 12 of them and amassing 279 innings pitched. Jerry Reuss was just 23 years old when he played for Durocher and the two had an adventurous time together with Durocher riding his young stud as often as he could, and Reuss often questioning the tactics of the veteran manager. It was a memorable season in Houston for the southpaw who would go on to win 220 games in his 22 years in the bigs. Reuss tells us how he pranked Dave Parker when he and The Cobra met up with Muhammad Ali in an elevator while playing for the Pirates. He takes us to Candlestick Park on a warm June night in 1980 when he no-hit the Giants, and he recounts the time Ron Cey was beaned in the head by a Goose Gossage fastball in the '81 world Series. But more than anything we talk to Reuss about what was it like for a kid born in 1950 to play for a manager who had been managing in the majors for 23 years by the time their paths crossed in the Lone Star state. It was a bumpy ride to say the least. Reuss tells us that much of it was his fault and that he and Durocher didn't see eye-to-eye most of the time. He goes on to tell us that years later they met up in the office of another Dodgers manager, Tommy Lasorda, and both admitted they could have handled things differently. Reuss and The Lip patched things up and shortly thereafter, Durocher passed away.  One of the greatest managers in baseball history was a mercurial and difficult man who never finished last in his 24 years as a manager. Was it because he was a Hall of Fame manager or because only Nice Guys Finish Last? In Durocher's case… probably a little of both. Listen, download, subscribe and review the Past Our Prime podcast.

Willie Howard Mays Jr., also known as "the Say Hey Kid", is widely regarded as the greatest all-round baseball player in American history. The African-American center fielder spent 23 seasons in the major leagues. Mays started his outstanding career with the New York Giants in 1951, quickly becoming rookie of the year. In 1954, he won the National League Most Valuable Player Award, and helped the Giants win the world series before the team moved to San Francisco. One of May's early milestones was hitting four home runs in a game against the Braves in 1961. Mays went on to win another MVP Award in 1965. He became an All-Star 24 times, and won 12 consecutive Gold Glove Awards. Mays was the first National League player to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season, the first player in history to reach both 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases, and the first right-handed hitter to smack 600 home runs. Mays was also a hit on national television, appearing on the game, variety, and comedy shows. Willie Mays ended his career after being traded from the San Francisco Giants to the Mets in 1972, celebrating his return to New York City. You will hear the game that marked his Big Apple homecoming, plus an interview with the Say Hey Kid on the network radio show Sports Byline USA in May of 2000. More at KRobCollection.com

Ted's winning run in game 3. I contend if Ted didn't score that run in the 11th inning, the Mets would have won the World Series 4 games to 1. The Andrews affair and how that affected the A's in the 3 games in NY The Mets lock down pitching in NY Seaver 12ks and 2 earned runs Matlack NO earned runs Koosman NO earned runs How the A's felt when they were down 3 games to 2 heading home to Oakland The decision by Yogi Berra to start Seaver on 3 days rest in game 6 The decision by Berra to not give a start to the #4 starter George Stone. Gene Tenace told me last year that the A's were sitting in the dugout in games 6 and 7 saying why aren't they pitching Stone. We can't hit him. Stone had appeared in just a couple of innings in the series. The decision by Berra to bench Mays after game 2. In the book I have a chapter about game 2 titled, “The last heroics and hiccup of Willie Mays.” Mays made some great plays, including the hit that won the game in the 12th inning for the Mets, but also had some poor plays in the field and stumbled 3 times Mays also dropped to his knees and pleaded when the umpire ruled Bud Harrelson out in the 10th inning with what would've been the go ahead run. That photo of Willie on his knees is in my opinion one of the greatest photos in baseball history The decision by Berra to not have Willie Mays pinch hit for Wayne Garrett on what turned out to be the final out of the series. In a similar situation on July 17, Berra had brought Mays in to pinch hit for Garrett and Mays slammed the winning hit. Bud Harrelson's legacy – Bud passed away last year and he doesn't get enough credit. In 1973, Harrelson was injured in the middle of the year. In games he started the Mets were 59 – 43. In games he didn't start they were 23 – 36. I would love to hear Ted's insights after watching him in the field during the 1973 World Series.

Len Ferman's new book, The 1973 Mets - You've Got to Believe, is a day to day saga about a Mets team that that rallied from last place with a 61-71 record on August 31 to win the National League East with an 82-79 record. The Eastern Division race that year saw five teams still in the hunt for the title in the season's final week. In the end, the Mets won the title outright on the season's final day with just 5 games separating the champs from the fifth place Chicago Cubs. The Mets shocked the 99-win Cincinnati Reds in the five-game NL Championship series then stretched the Oakland A's, the defending World Series champs, to seven games before coming up short. The team featured the great Willie Mays in his final season and future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, the 1973 NL Cy Young Award winner.

Guest: Larry Baer, CEO of the San Francisco GiantsIn 1992, Larry Baer was part of the ownership group that bought the San Francisco Giants and successfully prevented the team from being moved to Tampa, Florida. Back then, they had a big problem to solve: An old, uncomfortable ballpark that voters wanted to see replaced, but didn't want to pay for.20 years after the construction and financial success of Candlestick Park's replacement, Oracle Park, Baer — now the CEO of the Giants — embarked on an even bigger project, developing an entire neighborhood near Oracle called Mission Rock. “We're in the baseball business, but really, we're in the media, entertainment, sports, real estate business,” he says. Chapters:(01:05) - Growing up a fan (04:37) - Larry's dad (07:28) - Stopping the move (13:28) - The Giants in 1992 (15:18) - “What am I doing here?” (19:31) - Hiring with urgency (23:34) - Last out to first pitch (27:45) - Buster Posey (30:13) - The Candlestick problem (36:36) - Making a new stadium (43:00) - Always hungry (45:01) - Becoming CEO (49:52) - Homegrown talent (52:55) - The Mission Rock neighborhood (57:27) - Revitalizing San Francisco (01:03:20) - “It all starts here” (01:07:20) - What Oracle Park means (01:09:52) - What “grit” means to Larry Mentioned in this episode: Barry Bonds, Candlestick Park, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Josh Harris, Larry and Bob Tisch, CBS, Peter Magowan and Safeway, Charles Schwab, Don Fisher, Bill Hewlett, Arthur Rock, Charles Johnson, Harmon Burns, Bank of America, Walter Shorenstein, Dianne Feinstein, Bob Lurie, Bobby Bonds, Dennis Gilbert, Roger Craig, Al Rosen, Dusty Baker, Bob Quinn, Brian Sabean, George Steinbrenner, Bob Lillis, Matt Williams, Greg Johnson, the 1994 baseball strike, Chase Manhattan Bank, Warren Hellman, Jimmy Lee, Pacific Bell, Coca-Cola Company, J.T.

Late Friday night, I heard about his passing, but this wasn't confirmed. Saturday afternoon, the news was true that we had lost the great Rickey Henderson. The Man Of Steel, Henderson played 25 seasons, with multiple MLB records including, leadoff home runs, stolen bases, walks, and runs scored. After losing Willie Mays, Pete Rose, and Orlando Cepeda, this was a shock, and they all will be missed. Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, and Norte Dame all advanced to the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs. Thanks for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will be back on the 31st, with the 2024 end of the year special.

This week, we check out a baseball player, who won a World Series, with Willie Mays... after he shot a man to death in a bar. He was also a WWII veteran, and Negro League superstar. But his love of booze & casual hook ups sent his life spiraling out of control, eventually selling his World Series ring for liquor money, and committing a string of crimes, that he's lucky he wasn't executed for. Does he ever turn it around???Be an alcoholic by the time you should be a junior in high school, get hit in the head with so many baseballs, that you think it might have lead you to a life of crime, and try to turn it around by cleaning pools in the sun with Hank Thompson!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

The Golden State Warriors were picked to finish last in the Pacific Division before the 1974 season tipped off. They had the best record in the Western Conference. After defeating both Seattle and Chicago to advance to the NBA Finals, they were picked to get destroyed by the Bullets. Instead, they did the destroying... sweeping Washington in 4 games to win the Championship. And they were led by their captain, Rick Barry, who capped off a great season by taking home the NBA Finals MVP. Sports Illustrated noticed what was going on out by the Bay in December of '74 and put Barry on the cover and 50 years later, one of the greatest players in NBA/ABA history is joining us on the POP podcast to talk about that team, what being captain meant to him, how he started shooting free throws underhanded and why his sons wouldn't do the same. He tells of a great story of when he skipped school to go see a New York Giants game and met Willie Mays and how they became friends later in life and wore #24 in honor of his boyhood idol. Barry has opinions on most everything from comparing players from different eras to Wilt Chamberlain to the pick-n-roll. He's brash and energetic and entertaining, just like he was when he starred in the NBA/ABA half a century ago. One of the greatest to ever lace 'em up Barry is just as good with a mic in his hand as he was a basketball...and that's what he loves talking about most.

December 12, 1941 – Future Hall of Famer Arky Vaughan is traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Bucs receive four players in return, catcher “Hot Potato” Hamlin, Pete Coscarart, Babe Phelps and Jimmy Wasdell. Shifted to third base by the Dodgers, Vaughan had an off year in 1942, batting just .277, to finish under .300 for the first time in his career. However, he rebounded in 1943, batting .305 and leading the National League with 112 runs scored and a career-high 20 stolen bases. December 12, 1954 – Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente lead the North to victory in the Puerto Rican Winter League's annual All-Star fundraiser. The Sporting News correspondent, Pita Alvarez De La Vega, gives the exuberant young duo's exploits some national exposure: “The league took a break from its pennant battle to stage the annual ‘Three Kings' all-star game at Mayaguez. All proceeds went into a YMCA fund to buy gifts for the island's poor children in keeping with the old Latin tradition of the Three Kings bringing gifts on January 6… The All-Star North team, made up of players from the Santurce and Mayaguez clubs, won the game, 7 to 5. Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente hit home runs for the winners.” December 12, 1969 — Cleveland trades pitchers Luis Tiant and Stan Williams to the Twins for 3B Graig Nettles, OF Ted Uhlaender, and pitchers Dean Chance and Bob Miller.Tiant posted a 9-20 record with a 3.71 ERA in 1969. However, his strikeout-to-walk ratio completely tanked, leading to suspicions that he was pitching hurt. He pitched very well at the start of the 1970 season. Tiant was 6-0 with a 3.12 ERA by the end of May, which was followed by him going on the disabled list with arm troubles. He came back in early August, but only won one more game the rest of the way, and then gave up a run in two-thirds of an inning in a relief appearance when...

Here's Part 2 of our talk with Nick Roman about baseball legends we lost this year. We talk about the life and career of the best baseball player ever, Willie Mays.

In this engaging conversation, Jim Breech, a former NFL kicker, shares his experiences playing for the Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders, his thoughts on the evolution of kickers, and his love for baseball. He reflects on his childhood in Sacramento, the competitive nature of athletes, and the importance of winning in sports. Jim also discusses the current state of the Reds and their prospects, as well as his aspirations for recognition in the Ring of Honor.TakeawaysJim Breech had a successful NFL career as a kicker.He grew up in Sacramento and was a fan of both the Giants and A's.Jim played in two Super Bowls and was perfect in both games.He compares coaching styles of Forrest Gregg and Sam Wyche.Jim admires Willie Mays as the greatest player ever.He believes the A's were the team of the 70-75 period but Reds were Team of the 70'sJim is excited about the current Reds players and their potential.He emphasizes the importance of winning in sports.Jim supports the new pitch clock rule in baseball.He hopes to be recognized in the Ring of Honor for his Bengals contributions and in the Sacramento HOF.Sound Bites"I'm so glad to be a Bengal.""I love the pitch clock.""I guarantee you he is."Sponsored by Moerlein Lager House, host of the March 26, 2025 Opening Day Eve Party benefitting the Reds Community Fund!

To close out the year, Cheats visited with ESPN's Clinton Yates to discuss an extraordinary year for Black baseball. Yates had a front-row seat to a season that featured a new Black manager (Ron Washington), the first-ever East/West Classic, a Negro League Tribute game at the legendary Rickwood Field, the passing of Willie Mays, and much more. The Black Baseball Mixtape podcast is brought to you by Steelo Sports, Players Alliance, Herencia21, NumbersGame Scorecards, and Rebellion Harvest.

Barnstorming across a segregated United States from 1908-1940, pitcher John Donaldson won over 400 games and collected over 5,000 strikeouts, but his baseball career became lost in history until historian Pete Gorton came to the rescue. Chuck Garfien speaks with Gorton who has spent the last 20 years uncovering Donaldson's extraordinary career. Donaldson later became the first official black scout in the majors with the White Sox, scouting Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks. He's up for induction into the baseball Hall of Fame in December.

A 7 time All-Star, Dick Allen won the 1964 NL Rookie of the Year and the 1972 AL MVP Awards. He is one of only 28 players to have won both a ROY and an MVP Award. Allen is one of only 10 players in baseball history to retire with 350+ home runs, 1000+ RBI, 1000+ runs, 100+ stolen bases, and 75+ triples. He is also one of only five players in MLB history to retire with 350+ home runs,  a .290+ BA, a .375+ OBP, a career OPS+ of 155 or higher, 75+ triples; and 100+ stolen bases. The other four are Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Lou Gehrig. Hall of Famer Goose Goosage once called Allen "the greatest player I've ever seen play in my life" and the Wall Street Journal dubbed Allen “the best player eligible for the Hall of Fame”. Despite his statistics and accolades HOF induction eluded Allen, who passed away in 2020. Allen is up election on the 2025 Classic Baseball Era ballot. Will he finally get into Cooperstown this year? 

Dr. Michael Tobin grew up on Long Island, in New York, a big baseball fan who looked up to Willie Mays more than anyone else. Suffice it to say, Israel was not on his radar screen at all. But Jewish and Israel-focused messages were reaching him whether he liked it or not (Wait until you hear about his 20-mile run on Yom Kippur in the 70s), and things reached a crescendo when Michael and his Lebanese Christian girlfriend – and eventual wife, Deborah, decided to bike around the world, including stops in both Lebanon and Israel. Buckle up. This is a wild story told by a wonderful storyteller. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/return-again/support

Some of the greatest players ever were kept out of Major League Baseball for nearly 70 years - due to the collusion of the racist team owners. We visit with Bill Greason, 100, the oldest surviving Negro Leagues player, and baseball historian Larry Lester, to make the case for long-overdue reparations by MLB. We crunch some numbers and calculate the tab to right this historic wrong. It's time to play ball!SHOW NOTESGuests: Bill Greason and Larry Lester Bill Greason, 100, is one of two surviving players from the Negro Leagues. He was a star pitcher for the Birmingham Black Barons and mentor to the great Willie Mays, before becoming the first Black pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1954. He was also one of the first Black U.S. Marines. Rev. Greason has served as a pastor at a Birmingham, AL church for over 50 years.Larry Lester is the leading Negro Leagues historian. His epic research spanned over 40 years and filled 25 file cabinets in his home. Lester played a pivotal role in the integration of Negro Leagues statistics into the Major League Baseball records in 2024. He also co-founded the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, MO.More on Bill Greason:Bill Greason's biographyBill Greason Takes Another Trip Around the Bases at 100 by Joseph KingMore on Larry Lester:Larry's websiteLarry's all-time greatest baseball player: "Bullet" Joe RoganWith Deliberate Speed by Larry Lester (article about 1950s baseball integration)More on baseball integration and reparations:Wendell Smith's Vision Helped Clear Jackie Robinson's Path to Majors by Isabelle MinasianThe Rippling Manifesto by Ernest DiStefanoView From Third Base (Willie Mays 1960 All-Star Game) by Gary RhoadesVisit:  Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (Kansas City, MO)HIGHLIGHTS OF EPISODE:[13:45] Bill Greason describes his navigating the Ku Klux Klan in Birmingham[17:02] Greason compares the quality of play in Black and white baseball[18:21] Greason on his mentoring the great Willie Mays[19:57] Greason speaks on the prospect of reparations to Negro Leagues players[24:22] Larry Lester on the role of the Black press in integrating baseball[25:38] Lester on his role in helping to integrate the baseball record books[30:34] Lester compares the quality of play in Black and white baseball[35:10] Lester on Negro Leagues innovations[43:38] Adam calculates the $800 million owed by MLB to Negro Leaguers Contact Tony & AdamSubscribe

(Antevíspera del Natalicio de Juan Marichal) En su debut en las Grandes Ligas en 1960, ganó 2‑0 concediendo un solo hit o imparable al equipo contrario. En 1963 lanzó un juego sin hits ni carreras (la primera vez que un beisbolista hispano lograra esa hazaña en las Ligas Mayores), y dos semanas después lanzó dieciséis entradas en un juego para dar la victoria a su equipo 1‑0. A lo largo de dieciséis temporadas como lanzador en las Grandes Ligas, ganó 243 partidos y perdió sólo 142, ponchando a 2.303 bateadores y permitiendo un promedio de sólo 2.89 carreras ganadas por partido. En las trece temporadas en que intervino en más de once partidos, ganó al menos dieciocho juegos en ocho de ellas, ganó más de veinte juegos en seis de ellas, y ganó al menos veinticinco juegos en tres de ellas. Terminó su carrera con 244 juegos completos como abridor, uno más que el número de juegos que ganó.   De ahí que el inmortal Roberto Clemente dijera de él: «No importa lo que él lanza; cuando lo tiene, te derrota»; y que, refiriéndose a su singular estilo y su efectividad, el temible bateador Hank Aaron afirmara: «Jamás he visto a nadie tan bueno como él.» No es de extrañarse, entonces, que Juan Antonio Marichal Sánchez, «El Dandy Dominicano», figurara como lanzador en ocho ocasiones en el Partido de las Estrellas, siendo elegido como el «Jugador más valioso» del partido de 1965; ni que pasara a ocupar su merecido lugar en el Salón de la Fama en 1983. Los Gigantes de San Francisco, el equipo por el que jugó durante catorce temporadas, celebraron en su estadio ese 10 de julio el Día del Salón de la Fama de Juan Marichal.1 A fin de perpetuar su memoria, el 21 de mayo de 2005 volvieron a rendirle homenaje, esta vez fuera del estadio, donde develaron una estatua de 2,74 metros de alto de bronce del «Dandy Dominicano». «Simplemente fue el mejor lanzador de la década de 1960», declaró Peter Magowan, el propietario del equipo. Esa tarde los Gigantes, reconociendo su legado hispano, hicieron algo por primera vez en sus 123 años de existencia: vistieron uniformes con el nombre «Gigantes» en español. Al homenaje asistió, entre otros dignatarios, el presidente de la República Dominicana, Leonel Fernández; así como asistieron, entre otros compañeros, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Felipe Alou y Orlando Cepeda. Dirigiéndose al público, Juan Marichal dijo emocionado: «Soy yo el que les agradezco por todos los recuerdos. Dejé mi corazón en San Francisco», aludiendo así a la famosa canción en inglés que popularizaron Tony Bennett y Frank Sinatra.2 ¡Qué bueno es que les rindamos tributo a las estrellas que han alumbrado nuestra vida, y mejor aún si lo hacemos cuando pueden disfrutar del momento con nosotros, en lugar de esperar hasta después de su muerte! Reprimamos la tentación de criticar a los que invierten grandes sumas de dinero en tales homenajes, y reconozcamos más bien la verdad de las palabras de Jesucristo respecto a la objeción de Judas Iscariote de que el perfume que María de Betania acababa de derramar sobre Él pudo haberse vendido por muchísimo dinero para dárselo a los pobres. «Ella ha hecho una obra hermosa conmigo —dijo Jesús—. A los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, y podrán ayudarlos cuando quieran; pero a mí no me van a tener siempre.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan Marichal Hall of Fame Day: July 10, 1983, San Francisco Giants (San Francisco: Woodford Associates, 1983). 2 Dagoberto Galán, «La figura de la semana: Juan Marichal» En línea 25 julio 2007; «Juan Marichal: su vida», Montecristi Digital, junio 2005 En línea 25 julio 2007. 3 Mr 14:6,7; Jn 12:1-8

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.

Dr. Michael Tobin grew up on Long Island, in New York, a big baseball fan who looked up to Willie Mays more than anyone else. Suffice it to say, Israel was not on his radar screen at all. But Jewish and Israel-focused messages were reaching him whether he liked it or not (Wait until you hear about his 20-mile run on Yom Kippur in the 70s), and things reached a crescendo when Michael and his Lebanese Christian girlfriend – and eventual wife, Deborah, decided to bike around the world, including stops in both Lebanon and Israel. Buckle up. This is a wild story told by a wonderful storyteller.

The Midsummer Classic is upon us once again. And once again, there are more questions than answers in Major League Baseball. What will the Pirates do with Paul Skenes, their rookie phenom? How can we get players interested in the All-Star Game again? How should we honor the late legend Willie Mays? And with a couple weeks left until the trade deadline, what should the powerhouse teams on both coasts do to make sure they are more than ready for October baseball? Today, Buster Olney sits side-by-side with Clinton Yates in Texas to answer all these questions and more on the eve of the 2024 MLB All-Star Game. Learn more about your ad choices.
