This week we profile the baseball life of the iconic Willie Stargell. Willie, the feared power-hitting slugger and clubhouse leader on and off the diamond, signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1958, and will forever be associated with the franchise. The seemingly larger than life Stargell, after his retirement in 1982 would leave a legacy of winning, leadership, focus and fun in his wide wake, During the magical " We Are Family" season of 1979, he won the National League MVP, as well as the NLCS and World Series MVP, the only player in the history of the game to sweep all three MVP honors durinng a season. His 25 total bases in the 1979 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles stood as the seven game series benchmark until Astros outfielder George Springer bested the output in the 2019 World Series. Manager Chuck Tanner once said that having Willie on your roster is like walking around with a priceless diamond ring on your finger. #WilverDornellStargell #WillieStargell #Pops #BobZuk #PittsburghPirates ##DannyMurtaugh #RobertoClemente #SteveBlass #ChuckTanner #DaveParker #DeloresStargell

He started in the major with the Pirates, and 21 years later, he retired from the majors, having never left Pittsburgh. But Willie Stargell was more than a one-club baseball player; he was the club. That's why the Pirates called him Pops. They could also have called him Power. Stargell was one of the big hitters of the sixties and seventies, with a career .282 from 2,232 hits and 475 home runs. That career included two World Series rings and 7 All-Star appearances. For today's game, we turn to a late-season match-up against the Phillies. The Pirates are at the top of the NL East, and the Phillies are 5.5 games back with 20 games left to play. This is a chance for the Phillies to draw themselves closer to the post-seasons and for the Pirates to cement their lead. We join the Pirates broadcast with Bob Prince and Nelson King taking us through the game. You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI197409110.shtml This game was played on September 11, 1974.
1977 - Cardinals outfielder Lou Brock steals second base in a 4-3 loss to the Padres. It is career steal 893 for Brock, breaking Ty Cobb's modern record. Brock wasted no time, leading the game off with a walk, he stole second base off the battery of Danny Freisleben and Dave Roberts, he advanced to third and scored on Jerry Mumphries single. Brock would steal another base in the seventh after a force out and was left stranded in the 7th at third in the Cardinal loss. 1972 - During a 3-0 win over St. Louis, San Francisco's Jim Barr retires the first 20 batters to face him, his no hit bid was broken up by a pinch hit double by Bernie Carbo. Six days earlier, Barr had gotten out the last 21 Pittsburgh Pirates to face him in a 8-0 Giants victory, the only Pirates to reach in the game were second inning singles by Willie Stargell and Milt May and a walk to pitcher bob Moose in the third inning. This gave Barr a major league-record of 41 consecutive batsmen retired, which stood until Mark Buehrle broke it 36 years later in 2009 retiring 45 straight. 1925 - After a night on the town, Babe Ruth shows up late for batting practice. Miller Huggins suspends Ruth and slaps a $5,000 fine on him for disobeying orders on the field and team rules off the field. Ruth is forced to apologize before he's reinstated nine days later. The day after his return to the lineup, Ruth hits career home run number 300. A few days later, Ruth will take his case to Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert, who sides with Huggins.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn SaysThis Day In Baseball is Sponsored by - www.vintagebaseballreflections.com - Join the membership today and listen to 50 years of baseball history told to you by the folks who were there!

On June 24, 1946, a bus carrying the Spokane Indians high in the Cascade Mountains in Washington, crashed to the bottom of a ravine, killing nine of its players. In this episode of the podcast, host Dana Auguster talks with Eric Vickrey about his book "Season of Shattered Dreams: Postwar Baseball, the Spokane Indians and A Tragic Bus Crash That Changed Everything." He discusses what inspired him to write this book, the events leading up to the tragic events of that day nearly one year after the end of World War II and the days and months after the accident and how the city of Spokane Washington dealt with the tragedy. Later in the show, Dana will send a shout out to the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates who is marking its 45th anniversary of winning the World Series. The Pirates were led by Hall of Fame first baseman Willie Stargell outfielder Dave Parker, known as "The Cobra" and reliever Kent Tekulve. That season the Bucs were not only powered by those key contributors but by a disco classic that made the Pirates into a pop culture phenomenon.

Kurt talks about his relationship with Willie Stargell and the impact Willie had on his career. Finally, we reflect on his 1984 season in San Diego and what would have been an MVP performance, had the Padres won the Series.

This is a Special Edition of the Shaping Opinion Podcast called “1979: City of Champions.” In this extended episode (90 minutes), we take you to when Pittsburgh became the “City of Champions,” and how its impact went well beyond the field, or just baseball or football fans. In the end, it's about what sports can do to bolster an entire people who are going through hard times. Guests include: Kent Tekulve, Joe Gordon, Lanny Frattare, Michael MacCambridge, John Steigerwald and Walter Iooss, Jr. This is the story of Pittsburgh, City of Champions, like you've never heard it before. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Full_Episode_-_City_of_Champions_auphonic.mp3 In this episode, we start with a group of Pittsburgh steelworkers who are standing around waiting for the arrival of two Pittsburgh sports icons. They stand in the cold and drafty Jones and Laughlin steel mill along the banks of the Monongahela River. The smoke stack above their building belches out thick black smoke. The stack next to it literally belches out fire. The air around the mill is thick with the smell of burning sulfur. If you're one of the kids at the playground on the bluff above that mill in South Oakland, you're at eye level with the top of those stacks and you can see that fire. You can see that smoke pouring out, and the air smells like rotten eggs. You can't avoid it. Down below, the guests of honor have arrived. They are both co-honorees - named Sports Illustrated's Sportsmen of the Year. Willie Stargell of the World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates and Terry Bradshaw, of the three-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. About 15 steelworkers, clad in their green and gray mill uniforms, where hard hats and safety glasses, and they crowd around Stargell and Bradshaw, who are in their own work uniforms. Instantly, these tough and grizzled veterans of the mill become boyish football fans when the two baseball and football stars come in. Not much is getting done around the mill right now. With them is another legend. The photographer. But not just any photographer. He's a GOAT in his own right. Walter Iooss, Jr. is Sports Illustrated's best ever. Ever see that photo of Joe Namath predicting a Jets Super Bowl win at pool side? That was Walter. What about the shot of Joe Montana throwing to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC Championship game, the one they called, “The Catch?” That was Walter, too. From Tiger Woods to Michael Jordan, to the iconic Swimsuit editions. If you can conjure up an iconic sports or swimsuit image in your mind, there's a good chance Walter captured it for you. And here he is, lighting the floor of a steel mill to take a shot that would soon become iconic in its own right. Willie Stargell in his World Series champion uniform. Gold shirt with black pants. Next to him, Terry Bradshaw in his Super Bowl champion uniform, that classic black shirt with boxed numbers and gold pants. Surrounding them are those steelworkers. Walter told me there really wasn't much to setting up the shot, but what it stood for, well, that was something else. Welcome to 1979 and Pittsburgh, The City of Champions. In this episode we take you through, chronologically, the year Pittsburgh became the City of Champions, along with stories, insights, and what it all came to mean.

The 1974 baseball season was littered with players who would one day be enshrined in Cooperstown. But on the cover of the Sports Illustrated issue was Pete Rose, one of the few who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but not because Pete couldn't play... he was the MVP in 1973, and is baseball's all-time leader in hits, but.... well, you know... Former Sportswriter and VP of Communications for the Dodgers, Gary Miereanu joins us to look back at a phenomenal time in baseball as the National Pastime was still king of the Sports World in America. Willie Stargell, Steve Garvey, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer and the Toy Cannon, Jimmy Wynn are a handful of the players we discuss in this episode.

Both of these teams have dominated their respective divisions throughout this decade (6th NL east crown for PIT, 5th NL West crown for CIN), but the teams look a bit different from their previous matchups. Yes, Willie Stargell and Dave Parker are still threats in the middle of the lineup; but now they are supported by the likes of Omar Moreno, Bill Madlock, Phil Garner, and others. Bert Blyleven and Jim Bibby have come in to stabilize the rotation. Danny Murtagh is long gone as manager; Chuck Tanner gets his first crack at the postseason. Ditto for John McNamara, who replaces legendary Reds skipper Sparky Anderson (who left for Detroit). Tom Seaver is the new ace for the Reds. Key cogs of the Big Red Machine, Pete Rose and Tony Perez, departed in free agency. Former MVPs Joe Morgan and George Foster have battled injuries all year, and it seems as if these games may be the last that Morgan will play in a Red uniform. The Great Johnny Bench and ever reliable Dave Concepcion are still solid as ever up the middle, but Cincinnati has needed the boost from others like Ray Knight and Dave Collins. This game one figures to be a pitchers' duel, with two aces going at it. Tom Seaver (16 - 6 3.14 ERA 215 IP) takes the hill in his first, and surprisingly only postseason game for the Reds since he was traded in '77. On the bump for Pittsburgh is lefty John Candelaria (14 - 9 3.22 ERA 207 IP), one of the most dependable left-handed starters in all of baseball for the better part of a decade (averaged 15 - 9 3.19 ERA 216 IP between '76 - '80). This game and this series will be determined by great defense and timely hitting, as many thrilling postseason series are. Tune in for a fantastic game one. Audio Clips from joeydbball Youtube.

3-6-2023 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this show by declaring it is a bullshit show. He talks about how the Eastern NBA Conference is very top heavy and most of the best talent and overall teams once again reside in the Western NBA Conference. John then compares teams like the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies to the likes of the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, for a couple of reasons and questions whether the two latter teams can simply play their best basketball at the most opportune time. John then declares the six MLB teams who should be locks to make it to the postseason, not just in 2023, but for the distant future (ask him about one he conveniently left off). On Saving Sports History, John talks about Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Pete Gray, Willie Stargell, Kirby Puckett, and Shaquille O'Neal.
We discuss such things as Picklesburgh baby booms, The FFA, Producer Chuck googles Willie Stargell, Rhea Pearlman, dust busters, ghosts…again, fighting chickens, doing drugs in the desert, Ted Damson's hair, Andy rambles about Bob Feller, and a segment two for ages. Most assuredly there is no BFIB talk.

December 19th Show Notes December 19, 1934 – The New York Yankees send five players to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League as partial compensation for the acquisition of Joe DiMaggio. The Yankees had previously paid $25,000 for the future Hall of Famer. DiMaggio will play one more season in the PCL before reporting to the Yankees in 1936. In ‘36, DiMaggio will hit .323 with 125 RBIs in helping the Yankees to a World Series title. December 19, 1976 — A single-engine Piper Cherokee plane crashes into the upper deck of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, home of the Orioles, injuring the pilot and three others. Minutes prior to the mishap, the plane had buzzed the stadium during the final moments of the Steelers' playoff victory over the Colts. The pilot of the Piper Cherokee was 33-year-old Donald Kroner. Kroner served three months of a two-year sentence for malicious destruction of property and violation of aviation ordinances. Kroner had been arrested prior to the Stadium incident for making threats against former Colt Bill Pellington. This included Kroner being accused of dropping a bottle and toilet paper from his plane onto the roof of Pellington's Timonium restaurant. According to news reports, Kroner was upset over being thrown out of the restaurant. Kroner died in 2013. Kroner had been fired as an MTA bus driver the day before the crash. He also had been a flight instructor and, according to some accounts, had worked as an air traffic controller. In 1980, Kroner was charged with stealing a Greyhound bus from Dulles International Airport. December 19, 1990 — At a press conference, Tiger management and WJR announce 1991 will be Ernie Harwell's 32nd and final season in the broadcast booth. The dismissal of the Motor City's popular play-by-play announcer starts a furor among fans, which includes a threatened boycott of Domino's Pizza, a business of club owner Tom Monaghan, and the rise of the slogan, “Say It Ain't So, Bo”, which appears on bumper stickers and T-shirts all over Detroit, referring to Bo Schembechler, the team president and former University of Michigan football coach. "[Harwell's situation is] not going to change no matter how much clamor is made over it," said team president Bo Schembechler. The situation caused outrage so much that some made threats of violence against Schembechler. Some, such as Mitch Albom, blamed the situation causing as much negative feeling as it did on WJR executive Jim Long who was the one who pushed the quick, no severance pay removal of Harwell.[6] The movement in favor of keeping Harwell was so strong that even billboards in favor of his remaining were put up.[7] Rick Rizzs was hired away from the Seattle Mariners to replace Harwell in 1992, teaming with Bob Rathbun. Harwell worked a part-time schedule for the California Angels in 1992. The following year, the Tigers were purchased by Mike Ilitch, who made it one of his first priorities to bring Harwell back. In 1993, Harwell teamed with Rizzs and Rathbun on the WJR broadcasts, calling play-by-play of the middle innings in each game. From 1994 to 1998, Harwell called television broadcasts for the Tigers on PASS Sports and later WKBD-TV. In 1999, he resumed full-time radio duties with the team, swapping roles with Frank Beckmann (who had replaced Rizzs in the radio booth following the 1994 season), teaming with analyst Jim Price, and continuing in that role even as the team's radio rights changed from WJR to WXYT in 2001. During spring training in 2002, Harwell announced that he would retire at the end of the season; his final broadcast came on September 29, 2002. Dan Dickerson, who had joined Harwell and Price in 2000, took over as the Tigers' lead radio voice. Died: December 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, CA Dock Ellis, a solid pitcher for the Bucs, is best known for his performance on June 12, 1970, when he would forever etch his name in major league baseball history. That night Dock, despite the fact he walked eight batters, no-hit the San Diego Padres 2-0 on the strength of two Willie Stargell home runs. Also that night, which he admitted later on, was the fact that Ellis pitched his gem while on LSD. Welcome to the wild and bizarre world of Dock Ellis. He had a 14-3 record at the 1971 All-Star break, but famously said baseball wouldn't let two soul brothers – he and Vida Blue – start the AS game. Ellis ended up surrendering Reggie Jackson's titanic blast at Tiger Stadium. He was also the starter when the Pirates become the first team to start 9 black players. Ellis, never one to avoid controversy, also hit the first three Reds on May 1, 1974 because he felt his team was lackluster. Ellis will eventually end up a Yankee in ‘76 and win comeback player of year after winning 17 games. Doc Finished up with 138 wins vs. 119 loses and a 3.46 ERA. In 1955, he broke Ty Cobb's record to become the youngest player to win a batting title. Al Kaline was one day younger in 1955 than Cobb had been in 1907, when “The Georgia Peach” won his first title. Despite a history of injuries, he tied Tris Speaker's record of 100+ games in the outfield for 19+ seasons. A future Hall of Famer, Kaline was born on December 19, 1934, in Baltimore, Maryland. In his 22-year career (1953-1974), the outstanding right fielder had 3007 hits, 399 HR, 1582 RBI, 1622 runs, .297 BA, .376 OBP, .480 Slg., & .855 OPS. In the 1968 World Series, Kaline batted .379 with 11 hits, which included two home runs. Playing his entire career with the Detroit Tigers, his nickname was Mr. Tiger. He was an All-Star in 15 seasons, won 10 Gold Glove Awards, won a batting title in 1955, and was a member of the 1968 World Series champions. His uniform #6 is retired by the Tigers. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980 (88.3% on the 1st ballot).
What do baseball Hall-of-Famers Frank Robinson and Willie Stargell, a library in Northeast Philadelphia, the towns of Radnor and Pottstown, Pennsylvania, a bed and breakfast in Tennessee, and the Wills Eye Hospital have in common? The thread that connects these disparate entities is Bushrod Washington James, a Philadelphia physician and philanthropist who is interred at Laurel Hill West. Find out why his name is quietly known across the country in this month's edition of Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories.
By Jesse SpectorIn addition to grabbing Keelin's words from yesterday's show notes, I'm not going to try to duplicate that format! I'm going to expand a little bit on Jeff McNeil's batting crown and other end-of-season stats.McNeil is the first Met in 11 years to win a batting title, and the first Met ever to lead the majors in average. Miguel Cabrera batted .344 in 2011 to edge the Mets' shortstop who won the club's first batting crown.Pete Alonso tied Aaron Judge for the major league lead with 131 RBI, and his National League-leading total of 16 intentional walks trailed only Judge (19) and José Ramírez (20) in the majors. The only other time a Met won the National League RBI crown was 1991, when Howard Johnson knocked in 117 runs, again trailing a Tiger — Cecil Fielder (133) — for the major league lead. It's the first time a Mets slugger has led the Senior Circuit in intentional walks, and the first time for a New York NL leader since Duke Snider's 26 in 1956… or, if you want to be pedantic about “New York NL” and not “Brooklyn,” Mel Ott's 13 in 1934. Ott trailed Jimmie Foxx, who was intentionally walked 17 times for the Philadelphia A's.It might have been a #markcanhasummer, but it obviously involved Mark Canha getting hit by a lot of pitches. Twenty-eight, to be exact, the most in baseball, as part of a team that set a modern record by getting in the way of 112 pitches. Canha can comiserate with teammate Brandon Nimmo, who got plunked 22 times to also lead the majors four years ago — also with a former Mets prospect leading the American League: Andrés Giménez (25) this year, Carlos Gómez (21) in 2018. Canha's HBP total was the most by any major leaguer since Anthony Rizzo got drilled 30 times for the 2015 Cubs. Nimmo was “only” hit 16 times this year, tied for fourth-most in the NL with Jake Cronenworth and Kyle Farmer. Along with Starling Marte (unlucky 13), Alonso (12), McNeil (11), and Francisco Lindor (10), there were six Mets in double figures for getting hit by pitches. Out of a total of 24 players in the National League.Those six men — Canha, Nimmo, Marte, Alonso, McNeil, and Lindor — now walk together (and rub some dirt on it) into baseball history, as they have joined (per Stathead) only one other such group in baseball history: the 1899 Baltimore Orioles, whose manager had to wince at Steve Brodie getting hit by 23 pitches, Jimmy Sheckard 18, Bill Keister (what an aptonym) 16, Ducky Holmes 15, and Candy LaChance 10 times.That's only five players, because the manager was, like Buck Showalter, a Baltimore Orioles manager who made his way to New York's NL club a few years later: John McGraw, at that time a 26-year-old player/manager — his first season in the role he'd win the 1904 pennant and 1905 World Series in with the Giants.McGraw didn't just get hit by 14 pitches in 1899, he led the league with 124 walks, 140 runs scored, and a .547 on-base percentage. He also stole 73 bases, and did one more thing that Showalter didn't do this year: got ejected five times.It may not last, but for now, Showalter not only has the highest career winning percentage as Mets manager (.623 — Davey Johnson is the multi-season leader at .588 from 1984-90, he was tossed 13 times), but the most games managing the Mets without getting the heave-ho.The man who once succeeded Showalter in the Bronx, Joe Torre, is the Mets' managerial ejection leader with 24 during his 286-420 tenure in Flushing. When and if Showalter does get the business end of an ump's thumb (guess who), the Mets' no-ejection record will revert to Roy McMillan and his 53 games in charge after succeeding Yogi Berra in 1975.McMillan got the Mets in striking distance by Labor Day, when Tom Seaver, on the way to his third Cy Young, pitched a four-hitter (in a tidy hour and 55 minutes) against the Pirates to close the division gap to four games and pick up his 20th victory of the year. But the next night, Pittsburgh blitzed Jerry Koosman for eight runs in 3.2 innings (homers by Bill Robinson, Manny Sanguillen, and Rennie Stennett) and rolled to an 8-4 win. Felix Millan and Mike Vail got the Mets on the board with back-to-back one-out doubles in the first inning of the rubber game, but after a walk to Dave Kingman, Rusty Staub bounced into a 4-6-3 double play. Bud Harrelson made an error on a Willie Stargell grounder to allow the Pirates to tie the game in the fourth, and Robinson's homer off Jon Matlack in the seventh effectively ended the Mets' season. The next series against the Cardinals was a repeat: Seaver winning, Koosman and Matlack losing, and a sweep in Montreal meant that when the Mets got another crack at Pittsburgh, out at Three Rivers, they were nine games back. They wound up 10.5 games out in third place.These Mets? They wound up with 101 wins, same as the team that now gets a bye to the division series.That's where you can get on the train to the playoffs.

"Life is one big transition." - Willie Stargell
The 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates, after a dreadful 4-10 start, makes some savvy trades and adopt the Sister Sledge hit song We Are Family as the team's motto. After a furious streak of winning baseball, the underdog Buccos, would work their way out of last place to finally overtake the Expos and Phillies for the NL East Pennant. After destroying the Reds in the 1979 NLCS, the Pirates would take on the favored Baltimore Orioles in the World Series, for the second time during the 70's. Down three games to one in the World Series, patriarch Willie Stargell would galvanize his family and lead them to achieve the impossible. #PittsburghPirates #BaltimoreOrioles #ChuckTanner #BillMadlock #DaveParker #WillieStargell #EarlWeaver #EddieMurray #KenSingleton #MikeFlanangan #OmarMoreno

Sculptor Susan Wagner joins Tim to talk about a life as an American sculptor, some of her iconic works, and the creative process. Listen to Susan give insights into what it is about three-dimensional art, sculpture, that taps the human imagination, and draws us to it. She'll also talk about what it means to “dance with clay.” https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/American_Sculptor_auphonic.mp3 If you were to travel to the Vatican in Rome, or the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, or just about any major destination in the city of Pittsburgh, you may have seen Susan Wagner's work. She's a sculptor who focuses on classic depictions of famous and not so famous people. Art draws us to it. Whether it's a painting or a sculpture, it catches our attention and pulls us in. Whether it's modern, abstract or classic, depending on our tastes, and maybe just the mood we're in at the time, a certain piece of art may stop us in our tracks and make is look, and then think. Why is that? That's what we'll be talking about today with Susan. Since this is a podcast, and you can only experience this through your ears, you cannot see everything we'll be discussing. We'll do our best to describe the subjects, but you can also see for yourself by visiting our episode page at ShapingOpinion.com, or go to Susan Wagner's website at Classic-Scultpure.com. I first met Susan recently when I was doing research for a project that I'm helping with. But I had seen her work before. If you live in Pittsburgh and travel to any of the hottest tourism destinations in the city, you'll see several of her works. She was commissioned to create larger than life versions of baseball greats Roberto Clemente, Bill Mazeroski and Willie Stargell. A short walk away, her sculpture of a police officer stands watch over the city at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. She's created historical figures, works depicting medical pioneers, saints, and others. But my favorite one, I have to admit, is a fictional figure of a little girl in a garden at Pittsburgh's UPMC's Passavant Hospital. Susan Wagner titled that piece “Hope.” Gratitude Our thanks to Susan Wagner for her participation, and for her photography we are using to show you her work. Also, a big thank you to the BFG Cafe in the Garfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh where we did this interview.

Her mastery of the human anatomy and her ability to capture likeness and convey emotion through both clay and canvas is evident in her sculpture and painting portfolios and truly what makes her works outstanding and unique. Susan's art is now displayed in public forums and private households around the world ─ from her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the Vatican. Susan's art and work ethic are heavily influenced by her roots in the Pittsburgh area. Her drive to create was evident at an early age, she remembers digging the red clay from newly bulldozed ground around her home and using it to make sculptures. Growing up in working class neighborhood, Susan learned to stay grounded, be dependable, and always meet deadlines, making her an ideal artist to work with. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in art and anthropology, she started her own freelance business,
Steve Blass is a Pittsburgh legend whose career with the Bucs spans a half a century both as an ace pitcher and then as one of the best broadcasters of his generation. He and Sean take a trip down memory lane with some of the most amazing stories. He poetically describes playing with Bill Mazeroski, Willie Stargell, and Roberto Clemente. He takes us back to that horrible day when Clemente passed and how the team coped with it. And he reminds us of the night the Pirates became the first team in MLB history to field an all-black lineup. Plus, Steve Blass may be one of the funniest guests we've ever had on and that's saying a lot!

After only a 1 year hiatus this time, Ocho is back. Recently my friend, Craig Ballard gave his thoughts on why Barry Bonds should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame; Craig asked me to respond, and I figured it would be a great chance to follow-up on the previous Drunk Discussions episode, which also talked about this subject. ***IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS*** 1. During this episode, Ocho states that Roberto Alomar had been banned from baseball for sexual assault/sexual harassment. Officially it was stated that Alomar was banned for "sexual misconduct." Ocho also stated that it was for two incidents; officially it was for one - though a second incident had been reported, but at the time the investigation for that one was still going on. 2. Ocho mentions a former Pirates player who had accused Willie Mays and Willie Stargell of providing players with drugs. The player who accused Mays and Stargell was John Milner, who played with Willie Mays on the Mets and Willie Stargell on the Pirates. Be sure to give us a rating and leave a comment.

On a late summer evening in 1971, Manny Sanguillen heard his Pittsburgh Pirates teammate Dave Cash mention that something unusual was happening inside Three Rivers Stadium. No, not unusual. Unprecedented.Sanguillen, the ebullient catcher and a native of Panama, stood at home plate and scanned the field. All of the Pirates on the artificial turf had something in common. Something other than their double-knit white uniforms with black and gold trim. We have nine brown people on the field,” Sanguillen said to himself, his amazement and delight still evident as he tells the story.Sanguillen found his close friend Roberto Clemente, the Pirates' right fielder from Puerto Rico, and pointed out the makeup of the lineup to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. “We have to win this game,” Clemente said earnestly. “Can you imagine what they'll say if we don't win with all of us on the field? Pittsburgh's lineup 50 years ago Wednesday included two future Hall of Fame players, Clemente and left fielder Willie Stargell, and four other players who were current or future All-Stars: Sanguillen, first baseman Al Oliver, third baseman Cash and a Southern California native and a Gardena High School grad, pitcher Dock Ellis.Rounding out the starters were shortstop Jackie Hernandez, second baseman Rennie Stennett and center fielder Gene Clines.. The writers ran in after the game and said to Danny, 'Do you know what you did? You started an all-Black lineup. Danny said, 'I didn't know that. I thought I was putting the best nine Pirates out on the field tonight.' “When it comes to making out the lineup, I'm colorblind and my athletes know it.”

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. Episode 87 is the 14th monthly feature of “Our Voices,” intended to accelerate social change that levels the playing field and helps everyone live to their full potential. In hearing the life journeys of people you might not otherwise encounter, listeners gain empathetic understanding for what may be a very different experience of what it means to grow up, go to school, struggle, work and live in our world. The aim is for people to see a bit of themselves in these journeys, and embrace—we're more similar than not. This episode salutes the inspiration and power of youths in hearing a voice of GenZ, Brennan Wong. Now early in career at McKinsey & Company, Brennan has done more to effect positive social change at age 23 than most will do in their lifetimes and shares how purpose has served as a guiding force in his thinking and decisions. With the epiphany of an early volunteer experience, Brennan only recalls thinking about being part of “something bigger” and keenly aware of having a finite time in life. At 16 he started a nonprofit, Pledges for Change, paving for the way for numerous leadership opportunities—named one of Canada's 20 under 20, a Global Teen Changemaker, a Global Citizen Youth Advocate and one Canada's delegates to the G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance Summit in 2017.

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. Episode 87 is the 14th monthly feature of “Our Voices,” intended to accelerate social change that levels the playing field and helps everyone live to their full potential. In hearing the life journeys of people you might not otherwise encounter, listeners gain empathetic understanding for what may be a very different experience of what it means to grow up, go to school, struggle, work and live in our world. The aim is for people to see a bit of themselves in these journeys, and embrace—we're more similar than not. This episode salutes the inspiration and power of youths in hearing a voice of GenZ, Brennan Wong. Now early in career at McKinsey & Company, Brennan has done more to effect positive social change at age 23 than most will do in their lifetimes and shares how purpose has served as a guiding force in his thinking and decisions. With the epiphany of an early volunteer experience, Brennan only recalls thinking about being part of “something bigger” and keenly aware of having a finite time in life. At 16 he started a nonprofit, Pledges for Change, paving for the way for numerous leadership opportunities—named one of Canada's 20 under 20, a Global Teen Changemaker, a Global Citizen Youth Advocate and one Canada's delegates to the G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance Summit in 2017. Brennan shares thoughts on his Chinese-Canadian-Australian identities, areas of study at university, how purpose guides him, and generational differences at work.

Some MVP voting results have been really close. In fact, the 1979 NL MVP was a tie between Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez. A-Rod and Ken Griffey Jr. could have each won the 1996 AL MVP (at 9.4 and 9.6 WAR), but it went to Juan Gonzalez (3.8 WAR) of the division-winning Rangers. Sometimes it takes a particular storyline for a player to get a slight edge, or maybe the popularity of his team becomes a factor. Let's take a look at some of the closest MVP races in baseball history. All this on today's episode.

There is probably no popular song more widely associated with one team in baseball history than “We Are Family” and the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. This marks the 40th anniversary of the last World Series championship celebrated in Pittsburgh. On this episode of “30 With Murti," WFAN's Sweeny Murti talks to the rubber-armed closer of that Pirates team, Kent Tekulve. He tells us about the leadership of Willie Stargell, the man known as “Pops,” and how he brought the team together. Tekulve also tells us how and why a team of such diverse people found a theme of “Family,” identified itself with the working class population of the 1970s steel city of Pittsburgh and took it all the way to a World Series championship when they beat the Orioles in a seven-game series for the second time in the decade. Also listen for the moving story of how the Pirates rallied from a 3-1 series deficit behind their manager, Chuck Tanner, who led his team hours after the passing of his mother. “We Are Family” and the Pittsburgh Pirates are tied together forever. This is their story.
Hear former Jets Safety Victor Green sharing his thoughts on diva WRs and players forcing their way out of town. Tony Collins leads us through our 5 Star Picks of the Week for Week 4 in the NFL. Bill Madlock talks about what it was like getting traded to the Pirates in 1979, what it was like in their clubhouse, and his memories of Willie Stargell and Dave Parker. Plus, we go back to Game 5 of the '79 World Series when they were down 3 games to 1 with Jim Rooker on the mound. Beau Bock, the Dean of Atlanta Sports Talk Radio, shares his insights on the Falcons, Georgia Bulldogs, and Atlanta Braves.
This week, we look back at an unofficial TV genre, weekend dad TV, the kind of show that might fill the gap between the early game and the late game. Greatest Sports Legends combines interviews and documentary footage to cover the great athletes of the day. In a typical episode, Willie Stargell interviews Terry Bradshaw. Then an atypical episode parodies the show buy focusing on legendary bad player, raconteur, announcer, and actor Bob Uecker.
Willie Stargell/Credit: You Tube Mar. 26, 2019 turned out to be a busy day for the New York Mets, as we explore in my latest edition of The Baseball Beat. The Mets and pitcher Jacob deGrom have agreed to a contract extension and Mets owner Fred Wilpon is buying back more of his ballclub. The Boston Red Sox and catcher Sandy Leon were in the news and so are uniforms, as Sports Illustrated examines uniform changes for the coming season. You can read the article by clicking here. We also take a look back at my interview with Willie Stargell. At the time the former Pittsburgh Pirate was a member of the Atlanta Braves coaching staff. The Braves were in Richmond to play their AAA affiliate, when I caught up with Willie and hosted a press conference at which he was featured for being elected to the Hall of Fame. Enjoy!
11-2-2018 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the program by talking about the passing of Hall of Fame first baseman Willie McCovey. McCovey was a dominant power hitter of his time and his style and approach should be studied by the home run hitters of today. Two fair comparables would be HOF first baseman Willie Stargell and should be Hall of Famer Fred McGriff. John then talks about the disastrous season the Oakland Raiders have had, who is to blame, and is the message is fair enough to say that the future could look bright as the team plans its move to Las Vegas. Could the 1983 Phillies won the World Series if they upgraded at first base instead of playing Pete Rose there? Rose had one of the worst recorded seasons for a regular player in baseball history. As much as Luis Tiant is respected throughout the game of baseball, he falls short when it comes to legitimate consideration for Baseball's Hall of Fame. Finally, some respect and prayers are needed for Glory's Market in Jackson. Terrible job by the local news media to prioritize the traffic conditions over the lives that are at risk and the damage caused to the business.
Willie "Pops" Stargell was a power hitting outfielder playing alongside his legedary mentor, Roberto Clemente, on the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates. That year the Bucs outlasted the Baltimore Orioles in a seven game World Series classic. Clemente taught Stargell "how" to win and it was the greatest moment of his career.
10-2-2018 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the show with a brief recap of some of the sports happenings of this past weekend. Should he bet against himself? To vilify Peter O'Brien in the 2019 baseball season, Mets fans will prove their stupidity more than John can ever state on his own. O'Brien is not Chase Utley, Pete Rose, or John Rocker, nor Chipper Jones, Willie Stargell or Willie McCovey- you are booing him because he caught a ball? For doing his job? The most redundant thing in baseball is throwing the ball to third or first base on the third out on a strikeout. John takes out his frustration on this pointless act. Are the Athletics throwing in the towel against the Yankees in the Wild Card Game this Wednesday? John ranks the 32 NFL starting quarterbacks in order of worst to best.

Former All-Star Keith Hernandez, a postseason analyst for Fox Sports, discusses a host of topics related to Major League Baseball, including the mental effect of being traded for the first time and how the New York Yankees would be better served by dropping Aaron Judge in the lineup. The former New York Mets' first baseman also discusses his beloved plasma television, baseball's attempts to win millennials and speed up the game, and how the ballpark experience has changed over the years ... and not for the better. Hernandez, who is also an analyst on Mets' telecasts on SNY in New York, spent 17 seasons in the big leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals, Mets and Cleveland Indians. He was selected to five All-Star teams and along with Willie Stargell was the National League Most Valuable Player in 1979. He hit .296 with 162 home runs and 1,071 runs batted in over his career.
