He's one of the best to ever play the game. They call him "The Machine." The numbers don't lie...3,301 Career Hits. 679 Home Runs. 2,150 Runs Batted In. 10 All Star Games, 2 World Series Championships, 3 MVP's, 6 Silver Sluggers, and he's still playing! We spend an hour with Albert talking about his upbringing in the DR, his Major League career, and his off the field endeavors. Of all those accolades, The Roberto Clemente Award is his most prized. He shares with us what questions he would have for Roberto if he could meet him. He also gives great advice for the young hitter. What's the difference between hitting in Little League, and High School? How was he able to hit for power, and put the ball in play so much? To close out the program, we discuss his foundation, the Pujols Family Foundation, which serves the Down Syndrome Community and underserved areas of the Dominican Republic. Chad Chop also challenges him to a Trivia Contest, which you definitely don't wanna miss. Thank you for all you are Albert Pujols. Enjoy, rate, review, and SHARE!

To honor his memory we are rereleasing episode 93 featuring former NFL Pro Bowler, Nick Mangold who joined us to talk barbecue and football. On the same episode we had former MLB pitcher, Jerry Reuss who pitched in the Major Leagues for 22 years. Nick Mangold played center in the National Football League for 11 years as a member of the New York Jets, was a seven time Pro Bowl selection and considered by many to be one of the best at his position. He also makes one heck of a BBQ sauce and is determined to have his sauce take its place among the finest and most well known names on store shelves everywhere. The passion with which he played football is the same passion he gives Seventy Four BBQ (74 BBQ), which are the line-up of sauces he is rolling out. We had fun speaking with Nick regarding his playing career and how he transformed from a home kitchen sauce maker into a sauce king who is managing to make others take notice as he puts out a superb tasting product. What does family planning and a beard have to do with 74 BBQ? Listen and you will find out. Jerry Reuss pitched for 22 years in the Major Leagues, finishing his career with 220 wins and a World Series Championship as a member of the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers. Along the way, he pitched a no-hitter, amassed 1,907 strikeouts, a 3.64 ERA, and was a two-time All Star. He is the author of the book, Bring in the Right Hander, a well-known prankster, and appeared with some of his 1981 World Serious Champion Dodgers on the television show, Solid Gold as they sang “We are the Champions.” 22 years in the Major Leagues does not go by without having a few stories, and we were glad to listen to as many as Jerry would tell We recommend you go to Rogue Cookers website, https://roguecookers.com/ for award-winning rubs, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, Magnechef https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, Cutting Edge Firewood High Quality Kiln Dried Firewood - Cutting Edge Firewood in Atlanta for high quality firewood and cooking wood, Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.

Hall of Famer Tony La Russa, class of 2014, sits down with Jon Paul Morosi to discuss his memorable journey to Cooperstown. The Hall of Famer reflects on his decision to pursue the managerial path after his stint as a major leaguer, how his love of learning lead to obtaining a law degree, overcoming self-doubt in the skipper role, and how perseverance was at the helm of decision-making in the midst of multiple World Series Championships with the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals throughout his career.

The Oakland A's of the 70's were at their absolute best when it came to October baseball. They beat the Big Red Machine to win the 1972 World Series. They beat the Miracle Mets in '73 to win it again. And in 1974, they made it back-to-back-to-back when they disposed of the Dodgers in 5 games. Flooded with names like Catfish & Reggie, Blue Moon & Vida, Campy and Geno, they had talent and swagger and were the team to beat heading into the 1975 postseason. Playing centerfield for those World Series winning teams in '73 & '74 was speedster Billy North. Acquired by Charlie Finley from the Cubs prior to the 1973 season, North immediately fit in with the defending champs and his style of play was exactly what manager Dick Williams loved… speed and defense. North would lead the AL in stolen bases in 1974 and 1976 when he stole a career high 75 bags while playing a sterling centerfield. After missing the entire postseason in '73 when the Athletics repeated as Champs by beating Tom Seaver and the Mets in 7 games, North was looking forward to the '74 season and a chance to play in the playoffs. But on June 5th in Detroit, he and Reggie Jackson had an altercation that ended up with both of them injured as well as catcher Ray Fosse. It wasn't the first time the Swinging A's brawled with each other and it had very little effect on the team's play. Three months later they were back in the World Series for the 3rd straight year, with Fosse, Jackson and North all in the starting lineup. Despite having won the last two World Series titles, the A's were underdogs against the Dodgers who won 102 games in the National League and they didn't give the A's much respect going into their matchup. On the POP podcast, North tells us how he was called the “Paperboy” because he read all the newspapers and he told his teammates on the flight back from Baltimore after winning the ALCS that a Dodger player was quoted as saying that there were only two players on the A's that could play for the Dodgers… the champs didn't need more than that… 5 games later… they were champs again for the 3rd straight year. North tells us how he and Reggie put that incident behind them and remain friends to this day… and how that team 50 years later still gathers together. He talks of how Dusty Baker influenced his life and remains one of his best friends and how Dusty honored him at an All-Star game a couple of years ago… and he talks about the NorthLegacyProject.com that he helped start in honor of his mom to help kids with special needs. For a man who made a living stealing bags in his 20's, he now lives to give back in his 70's. A 2-time champion of the only team in baseball history other than the Yankees to win 3 straight World Series Championships. The Fighting A's… The Swinging A's… The Winning A's… Billy North on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
