Rogelio Moret, a can’t miss prospect out of Puerto Rico who made his debut at just 20. His issues off the field and MLB’s inability to help him culminated in a notorious moment in 1978!

I normally don't really care about year end awards, but Schneider definitely deserved it.

We’ve covered a lot of veterans, but Jack Lohrke survived the Pacific Theatre in WW2 and then luckily survived his baseball career. If you don’t know his story, it’s a must listen!

A great turnout for our SABR Hanlan's Point Chapter autumn meeting at Duke of York in Toronto, with special guest Steve Paikin. We had an engaging conversation about the Blue Jays, Red Sox, and stadiums. Honouring baseball history while looking ahead to the future.

I'm reading Paper of Wreckage, an oral history of the New York Post, and came across Mike Vaccaro reminiscing about the time in 2003 when he brutally zinged then Mets GM Steve Phillips.

He’s talking about tours. Literally bragging about how much the tours bring in year-round.
Yet the Dodgers are refusing to pay a living wage and engaging in union busting.

I think it's really brutal to try to rank Game 7s. Better to group them.
1925 is its own class
This one goes with 1924, 1960, 1991, 1997, 2001, 2016, and I suppose 1975.
They're all amazing (hopefully not missing one - list was off top of mind)

YES! Like, this is the stuff that Manfred took away from us.
(and yes this happened in the WS! Imagine someone using this tactic Vlad Jr. or Ohtani instead of the automatic IBB!)

Alright, let's see if I phrase this the right way.
Which World Series victory in your lifetime – NOT featuring your favorite team – brought you the most joy?
(For me I think it's 2019 Nationals with 2016 Cubs close behind.)

Great advice not just for tonight, or a game which happens after an unexpectedly long game the night before, but for ALL sporting events, concerts, and just times out in public.
The people working may be getting paid to be there, but they're still people. Treat them with the kindness they deserve.

Y’all if you’re going to the game tomorrow, be extra nice to stadium workers, the vast majority of whom stood the entire time.

We're gonna talk a little bit about Frank and his World Series record this Wednesday's episode.
Isbell had a performance for the ages after taking a tongue lashing from his manager Fielder Jones.

Another rally killing homer by Kirk.
Blue Jays have done a lot to kill the "home run is a rally killer" silly trope.
Vladdy's GS? Next 2 batters, single, home run.
Gimenez gm 3 HR? 5 of next 7 reach and they score 3 more.
Gimenez gm 4 HR? 4 of next 5 reach and they score a run.
Addison's GS? Next 3 batters, single, out, home run.

It’s out Wednesday but I’ll give a hint, it was one of these 3 ending with 6 and we nicknamed one of the players in the series (not one listed) Popcorn Shirtpants!
Another wild, lesser known baseball story out on Wednesday!

Is this easier in Fenway Park or harder?
you should be able to steal a home run if you want to. just drop the bat and try to book it for the fence before anyone can tag you. if you can make it all the way out there and throw yourself over the fence, you're good
