Podcasts about world series game

From 'Breaking Boston' (subscribe here): The Red Sox just swept the league-leading Atlanta Braves in a two-game series that had what many are calling a World Series Game 1 matchup. After Bello took care of business on the mound last night at Fenway, the bats came alive and proved to Andy Hart and Fitzy that these 26 guys that have been questioned all year might have the gumption to make noise on a playoff run. Now it's just Chaim's turn to deliver in the clutch. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

“Teaching our next generation the drive, desire, work ethic and character, that will take them to new heights, using neuroscience.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/oXfQPEJWwbM On this episode you will learn: ✔ How Former MLB Player is taking the mental and physical skills he learned over his 14 year MLB career, connected to neuroscience to help our next generation of youth. ✔ The leadership ingredients that Mike Bordick thinks made some players stand out over the rest with their results. ✔ Why Mike Piazza (NY Mets) was such an outstanding and unique team player. ✔  How Mike Bordick's childhood contributed to his success in MLB and beyond, and why he thinks it's important to give these skills back to our next generation. ✔ What sport Mike chose to unwind after a busy season, to enjoy the "solitude of nature." ✔ His vision for League of Dreams www.leagueofdreams.org (that's just celebrated it's 20th year). Welcome back to Season 10 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For today's EPISODE #295 we are going to speak with someone who I feel connected to with where he is going, but for many others, like my husband, he's formed a huge connection to where he has come from. We will be speaking with Mike Bordick, a former MLB player, whose 14 year career included time with the A's, Orioles, Blue Jays and Mets. I came to meet him when he contacted me, brainstorming ideas for ways he can continue to give back to youth in his retirement, with the organization he has formed www.leagueofdreams.org, that is celebrating their 20th year and is now looking at including content that links neuroscience to learning and physical education. When I saw his email to me, I wondered “what is a former baseball player emailing me about” and then when I got to what he was looking for, I thought that he definitively found the right person, as this is what the podcast Neuroscience Meets SEL is all about. I wrote back to him with ideas, and resources from the podcast, with episodes that tied back to PE and the brain, and connected him to everyone I knew that's focused on PE and neuroscience. I can't wait to meet with Mike and learn more about his vision for neuroscience, (that stems from his college degree in PE and kinesiology) and see what he does with this new program that he's working on, that links brain health, physical activity and nutrition. I also knew I couldn't ignore the path the led him to where he is today with his vision, so we will dive a bit into his past on today's interview. If you know me well, you'll know that I'm not really a sports fan, (while I love being physically active myself, I haven't spent much time watching sports, since I was around twelve, and my Dad took me to hockey games in Toronto. I think I've been to one baseball game, but never went back because it just wasn't my thing sitting in the stands and watching the fans spitting on the ground.  So, when Mike's email came in, I asked my husband, Majid Samadi, who is a huge baseball fan, “Have you ever heard of Mike Bordick” and the answer was a definite “Yes, and why do you ask?” Before learning more about Mike's vision, you can go to his About Us page on his website and see where his path that led him to baseball began. Majid filled in some of the blanks that I had, from the point on view of an avid Mets baseball fan. I learned that: Mike Bordick, while on the Orioles, was so highly regarded that they shifted Hall of Famer Cal Ripkin Jr to 3rd base, so that Mike Bordick could play short stop. In 2000, he was traded to the NY Mets during the Pennant Race, where he went onto the World Series and most importantly, he was a part of the first Subway Series between the NY Mets and the NY Yankees in the 2000 World Series. Hearing this, made me see a different side to Mike Bordick and his vision for youth. He brings all the attributes he learned and developed in leadership with his 14-year career in the MLB. What I'm interested in learning more about now, is what he plans to do with the skills he's learned in his career.  I've asked Mike Bordick to join us, and share his vision for where he has been, what he has built in his retirement, and the legacy he would like to leave with his experience, knowledge and skills, all for the benefit of our next generation of youth. Let's meet Mike Bordick! Welcome Mike, it's awesome to meet you. This is my better half, Majid Samadi, who knew you without having to look you up. We are honored to have this opportunity to learn more about your vision, but also, bringing your past experience in baseball to light. Intro Q: Before we get to your questions, I've got one myself and Majid pitched in his. I was hoping to get some intel on Miguel Batista, after meeting him briefly years ago, but since you rarely faced him, I'll change my question a bit. I really do believe that you can get a solid understanding of someone by watching how they do certain things.  You know, it's that “how you do anything is how you do everything” idea. Miguel Batista is the only MLB player I've met personally, even if it was brief, I could guess what he would be like as a person. Who stood out to you as a leader over the years, and what do you think it was that took them to higher levels of achievement, over other people? Majid—I'm a huge METS fan.. story of watching Mike in the stands. What was it like to play with Mike Piazza and being in the heart of a pennant race, going all the way to the World Series? How was the energy around the New York Fans supporting the Mets and pushing for a Championship? Q1: Take us back to childhood. Reading your website, I'm curious, what do you think it was that made you into a MLB player?  I related to what you wrote on your website, with having a strict Father, with “fear being instilled into your young heart” and maybe a little bit about the “fear of God” as we never missed a Sunday at Church growing up. Something about these two things I think taught me discipline that would carry me through difficult times later in life. What about you? What were the ingredients that made you into who you are today, and how do you translate these ingredients into your programs for youth? Q1B: Majid --what the work ethic of my all-time favorite player, Mike Piazza? How was he as a teammate, and did he do anything specifically to instill confidence in the team to push forward in a Championship year? Q2B: Majid --since playing in New York has a lot of advantages and at the same time can be difficult with the media coverage. What were some skills you were able to develop being with the New York Mets and how do you transfer these skills to the kids that you work with today?  Q2: “The solitude I found fishing by myself is what I truly loved.” If you weren't fishing, you were playing baseball. Majid would understand your passion for fishing, but I wonder, what is it that you enjoy so much about “the solitude” of it all? Being in nature?  How can this understanding help our next generation get outside and spend more time in nature? Q3: For a family who has noticed our girls' self-esteem skyrocket through sport, what can you say about these skills (called social and emotional skills now) but they weren't taught in school when we were growing up. We had to learn them through the school of hard knocks. Things like mindset, attitude, sportsmanship, and basic character skills that would separate you from the rest. Where did you learn these skills, and how do you incorporate them into sport for youth? Q4: Reading what 5th grade was like for you broke my heart a bit, mostly because it's the kids who are left out that we were always taught to watch out for. They are ALWAYS the ones who take off like a rocket (I can name a few my elementary school days who struggled are they are now medical doctors). Looking back now, do you think this hardship at school gave you something that made you stronger? Not that I want life to be easy for my kids, but hardship builds something we can't give our kids. Can you share getting cut from 3 of your middle school teams, and how being vulnerable with your weaknesses helps kids you are working with? Q5: Tell us about your vision for connecting neuroscience to PE. Where are you with this program, and what else do you need? Q6: Final thoughts, and reflections. Mike, I want to thank you for coming on the podcast, and sharing your powerful story that took you from childhood, to your 20-year career in MLB. What you have already built with your League of Dreams Program is outstanding, and I'm excited for what you are creating with your PE program backed by neuroscience. I can express how excited I am personally to be speaking with you, but Majid takes it all to another level, as he sat in the stands watching your first game. It's been a true honor to meet you.   LEARN MORE ABOUT MIKE BORDICK:   League of Dreams https://leagueofdreams.org/   Personal Website https://mikebordick14.com/about-me   The Baseball Warehouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AJkb-YIHXU (teaches the fundamentals of baseball as well as the mental side of the sport).   The Baseball Charity: Improving Lives Through Baseball http://www.tbwcharities.org/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mike.bordick.5   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mikebordick/   FINAL THOUGHTS, REFLECTIONS AND AHA MOMENTS:   I think it helps to share any AHA Moments that were noticed during the interview, or while editing, since learning is something that's ongoing. I'm sure as you listened to this interview, you could relate with your own life experiences. Majid and I reflected on this interview together, as I wondered what he noticed, that I might have missed. Here were our biggest take-aways from speaking with Mike Bordick: Go Deep When Researching to Find the Heart Behind The “Why”[i]: It doesn't take that much time to get to know someone on a deeper level when you are researching them for an interview. I watched some of Mike's television clips, and noticed that the questions he was asked were usually ones on the surface, (like what are you building for youth) and these questions still highlighted the incredible work he is doing with LeagueofDreams.org, but for me, there was something missing. I like to “feel” the heart of each person I'm speaking to, and knew I didn't have the knowledge and background to get there on my own. I knew I needed help for this interview, to uncover the “heart” behind Mike Bordick's mission and legacy, and I saw it when Majid brought back some of the memories of sitting in the stands watching Mike's games, in his early days. Mike wouldn't have known what it felt like from a fan's point of view, and Majid had no idea that the “field shook” when the fans cheered (or booed). He only knew the stands would shake from his point of view. Mike got to see Majid's perspective, and vice versa, which is when I noticed the “magic” started to happen. We also noticed that while you can research someone thoroughly, you still won't be able to find out everything, so find ways that your guest can add to what you've uncovered, if you've missed something. We didn't know that Mike Bordick played in 2 World Series Games, but by recognizing him in one, he was able to share the full picture. PUT THIS INTO ACTION: When speaking with someone, whether an interview like I'm doing, or a customer you are trying to get to know in the business world, or if I think about it, the athletes that you are coaching, when you can connect to another person at the heart level, the bond you will create is unbreakable, and unforgettable. I know Majid and I will NEVER forget this part of the interview, because we were able to “feel” it and this was all possible from spending a little bit of extra time learning more Mike's background, and getting to know him at the heart level, going straight to what mattered the most to him, or his “why.” It pays off to put extra effort into going a bit deeper to get to know and understand others who are important in your life, for this reason.   Always Think of Ways to Help Others and Give Back: I think this is what caught my attention the most when I first met Mike Bordick. Here he was in retirement working on ways to give back to those who need it the most with his League of Dreams Organization. He and all the others who lead this organization[ii], found a way to contribute and help those who need these skills the most. If we ALL spent some time thinking of ways to help others, even if it's one person, the world would be a different place. Majid also noticed this and we both wanted to be sure that we highlighted what a noble cause The League of Dreams is. PUT THIS INTO ACTION: You don't need to go BIG with this idea, like Mike is doing, (or you can with some planning) but I really do believe that we can all do this with small actions, taken daily, and make an impact that begins in our own community. How are you as a role model in your family? Start here, and then expand out larger into your community, and then further, into your city, state, and then go as big as you want out into the world.  Small details matter a lot and show people who you really are in a matter of seconds. It's all about seeing the WE in social and emotional learning, instead of the I. Social Awareness, vs Self-Awareness. Start small and do a bit more each day. When Mike Bordick reached out to us about ways to incorporate neuroscience into his work, I bet he didn't know how much his experiences would help and inspire others—two minds when they come together, (WE vs I) expands all of our levels of awareness, leaving us with the thought of “what else can we do to help others?” We are all connected: This one came through when Mike was talking about the solitude he felt while fishing in nature by himself, something he would do to unwind from a busy season. Something magical happens when we can feel the oneness of ourselves within nature, and this is something I'm going to explore more on a future episode as we look at the power that comes from being on, near or by the ocean with author and ocean expert Wallace J. Nichols. PUT THIS IN ACTION: If you have been following this podcast, I'm sure you will have your own story of what happens to you while in nature. Mike Bordick talked about the meditative nature of fishing and what he would say were “undisclosed benefits” to being in nature.  I've felt strange and interesting things while hiking in the mountains, or swimming in the ocean. When we get to our interview with Dr. Nichols, I'll ask him to explain WHY we feel such interesting connections with others in nature, and why nature has the ability to calm us down, and bring out our creative sides, because this is what he has dedicated his entire lifetime studying. I don't think I need to explain this one any further, other than to say how important it is to get out into nature, and take note of what this peace and solitude means for you. With those takeaways, I'll close out this episode. I hope you enjoyed this interview with Mike Bordick as much as we did.

On a relatively lighter note, we welcome national baseball writer for the New York Times, Tyler Kepner, to talk about issues in the sports world in general but more specifically about his latest book “The Grandest Stage: A History Of The World Series.” Also joining the conversation will be friend of the program, Ken Reed, policy director of League of Fans, whose book “How to Save Sports: A Game Plan” has been updated. Plus, Ralph pays tribute to the late activist and entertainer, Harry Belafonte and has some choice words for Bernie Sanders' early endorsement of Joe Biden's 2024 presidential campaign.Tyler Kepner is national baseball writer for the New York Times, where he has covered every World Series Game of the last two decades. He's not just a sports reporter, he's a sports historian. He is the author of K: A History Of Baseball In Ten Pitches, and The Grandest Stage: A History Of The World Series.Certainly, it's the apex of the season— the thing that every fan ultimately looks forward to. The World Series as an event has had some challenges—certainly the Super Bowl has overtaken it in terms of eyeballs. But that's just one game. The World Series is a weeklong event. It's always fascinating to me the history behind it, the way it's managed within the games, the way certain players respond to that spotlight, the way momentum can turn so quickly.Tyler Kepner, author of "The Grandest Stage: A History of the World Series"Dr. Ken Reed is Sports Policy Director for the League of Fans and the author of How We Can Save Sports: A Game Plan, Ego vs. Soul in Sports: Essays on Sport at Its Best and Worst, and The Sports Reformers: Working to Make the World of Sports a Better Place. Ken's writing has been highly praised by legendary sports writers Robert Lipsyte and Frank Deford, and he is a long-time sports marketing consultant, sports studies instructor, sports issues analyst, columnist, and author.Some people ask me “Why do you hate sports?” or “Why are you so angry about sports?” Ironically, I'm probably one of the most passionate people there are about sports. But I think if you love sports, you have to be angry at some of these issues that we've talked about. I always go back to a RFK quote that I love— “The sharpest criticism often goes hand in hand with the deepest idealism and love of country.” And I think that applies to me with sports, and that's why we do what we do at League of Fans.Ken Reed policy director "League of Fans"Harry Belafonte was a great entertainer and a great social activist for justice, civil rights, and African Americans. He grew up in the Caribbean, and he never faltered. He never was co-opted. He never put ambition before his candid statements, again and again, on the violations on the civil rights of people who were powerless.Ralph NaderI think it was a strategic mistake. [Bernie Sanders] endorsed [Joe Biden] without any conditions. He didn't get any commitments from Joe Biden for his endorsement. And because of his leadership role among progressive politicians, he's undermined progressive legislators from holding out and pulling Biden and the corporate Democrats more into progressive territory. I was shocked.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. Who is behind the recent campaign to deregulate child labor? A new Washington Post report finds that a Florida based right-wing think tank called the Foundation for Government Accountability, and its lobbying arm the Opportunity Solutions Project, have been the prime movers behind the laws passed in Arkansas and Iowa, as well as efforts to do the same in Minnesota, Ohio, and Georgia. This campaign goes beyond the pale even for some traditional conservative groups. Randy Zook, president of the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce, said in an interview that his state's law was “a solution looking for a problem.”2. From the Intercept: The war in Yemen appears to be winding down, as Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have agreed to a long-term ceasefire brokered by China. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, weighed in, saying “Biden promised to end the war in Yemen. Two years into his presidency, China may have delivered on that promise.” This breakthrough comes amid a broader Saudi-Iranian rapprochement – also driven by China – which has taken on the role of peacemaker both in the Middle East and in Ukraine in the absence of strong peace leadership from the US. Rep. Ro Khanna tweeted “It's past time for Saudis to end their brutal eight-year war and blockade on Yemen, as I've advocated for years. This will create the opportunity for the Yemeni people to decide their own political future.”3. Arizona activist Kai Newkirk reports that “By an overwhelming vote, the Arizona Democratic Party...passed a resolution calling on Democrats nationwide — from grassroots activists to party leaders — to pledge to support the winner of the Democratic primary to replace Kyrsten Sinema.” Moreover, Jezebel reports that a new Public Policy Polling survey shows that Ruben Gallego would pull 42 percent of the vote, in a three-way race, with election-denying Republican Kari Lake drawing 35 percent, and Sinema just 14 percent. Sinema also lags behind Gallego in terms of fundraising, bringing in just $2.1 million in the first quarter compared to Gallego's $3.7 million, with just 0.3 percent of her donations were from small dollar donors, per NBC News.4. From Reuters: Reinvigorated with new funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS was able to provide live support to 87% of customer calls this tax season, up from just 15% last year. The average time on hold decreased from 27 minutes to just four.5. A new article in the American Prospect covers the insidious new ways corporations are surveilling and targeting low-income consumers enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as SNAP. Since the pandemic, the Department of Agriculture has allowed SNAP recipients to order groceries online, but have not erected sufficient data privacy protections. The Center for Digital Democracy, which has monitored the program, finds that the lack of oversight results in this data being exploited by predatory advertisers hawking junk food and even financial products like payday loans.6. Socialist Seattle City Councilor Kshama Sawant announced via Twitter that Seattle has passed her bill to cap late rent fees at $10 per month. The national standard late rent fee is between 5 and 10 percent, meaning this could save renters a considerable chunk of change.7. From Rolling Stone: The film How to Blow Up a Pipeline, adapted from the book of the same name, is causing quite a stir among law enforcement. At least 23 separate federal and sate entities, including the FBI, have sent out at least 35 warnings about the film, which is a work of fiction. The film also holds a 95 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.8. The Lever reports that on Monday, Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi received an award from the American Hospital Association or AHA, for “her incredible efforts in advancing health care.” The Lever alleges that she received this award for “blocking consideration of Medicare for All or any other major reforms to the insurance-based health care system.” The AHA, a top lobbying group for hospitals, raised $129 million in 2021 and represents large hospital chains like CommonSpirit Health, Ascension, and Tenet Healthcare.9. The Louisville Courier-Journal reports that Myles Cosgrove, the police officer who killed Breonna Taylor by mistake in a no-knock search, has been rehired by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, about one hour northeast of Louisville. Cosgrove was fired by the Louisville Metro Police Department in January 2021.10.The Pentagon has requested an additional $36 million to fund research and treatment for “Havana Syndrome,” per the Intercept. Many doubt the very existence of Havana Syndrome, especially since a US Intelligence assessment in March found that the symptoms were “not caused by [an] energy weapon or foreign adversary,” as had long been alleged.11. According to the Washington Post, The brand-new Smithsonian American Women's History Museum announced last month that Nancy Yao will serve as its founding director. Yao currently runs the New York City-based Museum of Chinese in America and has been sued multiple times for wrongful termination, retaliation against whistleblowers, and protecting sexual harassers.12. Greenpeace USA announced that they have won the Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPP case, that they've been embroiled in. The suit was brought against Greenpeace by a Canadian logging company, who sued for $100 million dollars Canadian, in an attempt to “silence and bankrupt” the organization. Greenpeace added that they are “now able to turn our attention to what lays ahead in this continued fight: We can't allow corporate polluters to stand in the way of climate justice by manipulating our legal system and our democracy.” Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

The two best words in baseball: Game Seven. The A's avoided elimination behind outstanding performances of stars Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter, besting fellow future Hall-of-Famer Tom Seaver in game six. For the third time in this series, we will see the matchup between lefties Ken Holtzman (21 - 13 2.97 297 IP) and Jon Matlack (14 - 16 3.20 242 IP). Matlack has been brilliant in the postseason so far, allowing zero earned runs in 23 innings pitched across three starts. Can he keep up his dominance, or will the A's bats have an answer for the budding star? Holtzman has been a workhorse all season for Oakland, but he didn't even make it out of the first inning in game four. For the A's to become back-to-back champs, they will need him to make a major adjustment in this winner-take-all game. There have been plenty of distractions in this series, partly due to meddlesome owners (Charlie O. Finley), controversial plays, porous defense (Felix Milland and Mike Andrews), abrupt retirement announcements (Willie Mays), and speculation about managers' next jobs (Dick Williams). But all of that goes to the wayside with a game seven. For all the marbles, for history, for legacy.

(00:00 - 25:40) - A strong start to the Friday show as Jake starts with a Storm Chasers pun. The Indianapolis Indians home opener, pending weather, is supposed to kick off tonight against the Omaga Storm Chasers. The Milwaukee Bucks demolished the Pacers on Wednesday and then got obliterated by 40 the next day. Wrestlemania is this weekend. Jake recalls passing around bootleg VHS tapes of UFC events. Major League Baseball opening day was yesterday. Chicago Cubs and White Sox are both off to a strong start with wins in their opener. The Cincinnati Reds fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jake promotes the inter-office pick'em league for the MLB this season. Pro-Days continued yesterday, quarterback Anthony Richardson hit a fan on the roof.  (25:41 - 31:26) - Morning Checkdown (31:27 - 46:04) - What is the weight of an NFL Pro-Day on how a team views a potential draft pick? Will Levis being 23 might give him an edge in terms of development for a team, making him a an appealing pick. The Colts still have been patient for years now with team owner Jim Irsay trusting the general manager Chris Ballard for multiple seasons. The clock is going to start ticking now that the Colts are in yet another quarterback conundrum. Will any of the rookie quarterbacks be able to live up to the pressure that both Irsay and Ballard will be putting on them from the start of the season? Irsay is a catalyst in freeing a whale back into the wild.    (46:05 - 1:13:07) - Greg Rakestraw of the ISC Network joins the program and puts a bow on last weeks IHSAA State Finals in basketball. There are always a handful of college coaches at the finals, but the Ben Davis vs. Kokomo game had a very large presence of recruiters. Rakestraw claims it was the biggest gathering of recruiters he can remember in his time covering the tournament. Talk turns to Rakestraw's predictions for the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament. Moving on to Colts conversation, Dykton wants to know what the grade is for the Colts this offseason. Rakestraw says that the grade will be incomplete until the draft is over. The free agent signings have started to set the table but there will be no telling until the draft is over, and the quarterback situation is resolved. The Indy Eleven home opener is this Saturday. Coming off a draw against Tampa Bay and a 1-0 win in Detroit, the Eleven are off to a hot start against two playoff teams from last season.  (1:13:08 - 1:35:20) - From one guest right into another, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com is on the phone line to talk Colts. Holder is asked to predict the team's first draft pick and he believes that it will be Anthony Richardson joining the team. Indianapolis has spent a lot of time looking at Anthony Richardson, despite Irsay saying he is very high on Will Levis, the team seems to have focussed in more on Richardson's actions since the combine. Holder doesn't believe there is any chance that the Colts will trade up or down in the draft. The opportunity to get one of these quarterbacks is too tempting to risk giving your space up. The otherside of the current quarterback coin is trying to sign Lamar Jackson. Holder believes that is Jackson is open to a conversation then it benefits Jim Irsay and Chris Ballard to have that conversation. Lastly, Stephen Holder is predicting an all Florida NCAA Championship basketball game.   (1:35:21 - 1:54:49) - MLB conversation pick backs up. Jake wants to know Marc's 5 Cubs memories growing up. Jake also gives his baseball memories growing up, from World Series Games he remembers to famous baseball players who stopped by Indianapolis in the minor leagues. He hopes that baseball memories are something that kids are still forming to this day. What are some the most overrated baseball movies? Jake wants to display his hidden talent. (1:54:50 - 2:03:58) - Pop Quiz (2:03:59 - 2:23:08) - Jake manages to verbatim repeat the interviews of every coach and player from IU's 1987 championship win to close out the show. Jake compares and contrasts growing up and seeing the IU stadium, team, and fandom compared to Purdue's. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The series returns to the Oakland Coliseum with the Mets just one win away from their second World Series in franchise history. With their backs against the wall, the A's turn to Jim 'Catfish' Hunter (21 - 4, 3.34 ERA, 256 IP) to stave off elimination. The Mets will look to the Franchise, Tom Seaver (19 - 10, 2.08 ERA, 290 IP), to cap off another terrific season. Unanimous 1973 MVP Reggie Jackson has struggled mightily in the playoffs so far (8 for 42, 2 RBI, 12 Ks in 10 games), and if Oakland wants a chance at a game seven, he will need to turn his series around. The middle of the Mets order - Staub, Jones, and Milner - have provided plenty of thump so far, so it will be key for the Catfish to keep them at bay. Will the Mets be able to seal the deal, or will the A's fight to keep the season alive? Tune in for an exciting game six. Audio Clips from Sports Revisited Youtube.

Tom Ackerman talks with Carol about the importance of the World Baseball Classic and Cardinals spring training. 

The Mets and A's are all tied up at two games apiece, with one final game at Shea Stadium before the series heads back to Oakland. New York sends veteran lefty Jerry Koosman (14 - 15, 2.84 ERA 263 IP) to the mound, having yet to lose a postseason game in his career (5 GS, 3 - 0, 4.09 ERA 32.2 IP). Oakland manager Dick Williams counters with former Cy Young and MVP Vida Blue (20 - 9, 3.28 263 IP), who has yet to win a playoff game in his career (12 G, 5 GS, 0 - 3 5.73 33 IP). Neither manager had to turn to their respective relief aces, Tug McGraw and Rollie Fingers, in the Mets blowout win in game four, so expect both to be called upon in high leverage situations. The Mets look to continue their excellent run of pitching, the staff sporting a combine 1.67 ERA coming into this game. Both teams are looking to clean up the defense, as costly errors have played a major role so far in this series. Who will gain control and place themselves just one win away from a World Series Championship? Tune in to this excellent game 5 five.

With Oakland leading New York in this series two games to one, both teams turn to their game one starters. Rising star Jon Matlack (14 - 16 3.20 242 IP) takes the hill for the Mets, having allowed just one earned run in his last four starts, though only sporting a 2-2 record across those games. For the A's it will be veteran workhorse Ken Holtzman (21 - 13 2.97 297 IP), who won game one of the series but has had an extraordinary workload placed upon him this season. If the series is not resolved by then, expect both of these pitchers to be available for game seven. Rusty Staub (3 HR this postseason) is playing with an injured right shoulder, and he is just beginning to look like himself at the plate again. Look for 'Le Grand Orange' to provide some thump in Queens. Shea Stadium is rocked and ready for an exciting game 4 matchup. Audio clips from Phenia Films Youtube.

The series moves to Shea Stadium for a marquee matchup between two future Hall-of-Famers. Tom 'Terrific' Seaver (19 - 10 2.08 290 IP) gets the ball for the Mets, looking to continue his excellent career to this point. Opposing him will be Jim 'Catfish' Hunter (21 - 5 3.34 256 IP), the country boy turned perennial 20 game winner, who is coming off of a series clinching shutout against Baltimore. Bert Campaneris and Joe Rudi, the top of Oakland's order, will attempt to spark the A's offense against a tough righty, while Wayne Garrett and Rusty Staub aim to provide some thump for New York. This series has been competitive and tight thus far, and this pitchers' duel will be no different.
