Ernest Hemingway once challenged Dodgers pitcher Hugh Casey to "spar for fun," sucker-punched him before he even had his gloves on, and then got the crap beat out of him in his own living room. New episode's up just for you to listen! 🥊 open.spotify.com/episode/102X...

Politics has always sucked, but compared to the soul-sucking sh!tshow of today, the entire floor of the Senate used to be able to agree that wood baseball bats should forever remain an American right. This started because of a This Week In Baseball April Fools joke. So yeah, they were always stupid.

1986 WS Game 2, Steve Garvey & Jay Johnstone toast in the stands, celebrating another successful season of Garvey fathering kids to women he wasn't married to. Johnstone was actually celebrating having left Tommy Lasorda locked in another room back in LA.

Rewatching the 1986 World Series. Halfway through Game 2. Boggs (RIP) defense so far has been unbelievable. Forgot how many hits/runs he took away in this series. Hendu & Dewey also, nothing drops in CF/RF. Vin & Garagiola calling the game & so many calls that would've been overturned by challenges.

On the heels of finding out PCA doesn't believe Babe Ruth actually existed (the reasoning is even stupider than the statement if possible), here's PCA doing a very Ruthian thing. Getting thrown at twice, didn't charge, just hit a piss-missle on the next pitch.

Good old #29, Rickey Henderson, doing Rickey Henderson things even in his MLB debut. Today in 1979. Even a feet-first slide into first. It was a rough plane landing that convinced him to start sliding headfirst. Besides my wife, Rickey is the only person I think about every single day. I miss him.

1937 NL MVP voting. How was it this close? The Cubs almost won the pennant, but I don't think managing pitchers or framing were really taken into consideration then (sarcasm). Ducky almost doubled every offensive counting stat (triple crown!). Legit, I would like to know how? Politics?

Both Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays were banned from baseball in the 1980's for working as greeters at casinos. A long way from today's game & betting, yeah? But you've gotta make a dime somehow, so here's The Mick & Say Hey teaming up with Blue Bonnet margarine. Seems like a natural fit?

A black-and-white commercial photo of baseball icons Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays questioning where it went all wrong. Both men are wearing frilly, historical bonnets tied under their chins while holding ears of corn at a dinner table packed with steak, salad, and margarine.

Holy shit! Who cares?!? The season has started, nobody cares about what heart attack any team is serving. Nobody. We're all too busy trying to figure out what network we have to watch to see our team that MLB clearly doesn't want us to see. Not to mention, this 'thing' looks disgusting.

Non-baseball-related but worthy of mentioning. I just misspelled the word 'citrus' so poorly that it autocorrected to something very different. Straight from a Seinfeld episode. It rhymes with Doloris.
