The story of the 1969 Mets can not be told without going back to the beginning. The 120 loss record breaking inaugural season of 1962.

We will do that and so much more with our TWO guests this week. Ed Kranepool & Ron Swoboda. 50+ years later..this team resonates as much an ANY in the history of The Game.

It's with a heavy heart that baseball fans have lost another legend. Frank Howard was different. His career was fascinating. And his post baseball career more so. 19 years coaching..he loved the game..and maybe more so..loved it's players. It was never Me or I..he spread the word of others. I hope you enjoy this look back to the last sit down that Frank Howard did..,2 yrs ago and as sharp as it gets.

Enjoy.

If you asked...players...managers...announcers and fans...ones that had watched enough baseball over a long enough period of time...

If that time included the heyday of Willie Mays...take a seat and be enthralled of the stories of the most talented player they had ever seen.  

Winner of everything you can win in The Game...The Honor of having The World Series MVP Trophy named after him...Roberto Clemente Award Winner...and the very proud recipient of The Presidential Medal of Freedom

Here is my conversation with Willie...2001...on the 50th Anniversary of his debut in the Major Leagues.

It's with a heavy heart that I present my conversation with Brooks Robinson. When I heard of his passing, my mind went immediately to my very first baseball memory: the 1969 World Series and as a now bonafide 6 year old fan, I had a chance to start to appreciate great players.

The 1970 World Series...THE BROOKS ROBINSON WORLD SERIES...was an incredible jump off point for a lifelong love of The Game outside of my NY Bubble.

Episode 2 is a sit down I did with Hall of Famer and Yankee Legend Phil Rizzuto back in 2001.

Easily one of the most beloved Yankees of All-Time..a playing career that started in the 1930's..and a broadcast career that lasted until 1996.

That would mean in his 7 DECADES of Yankeedom he saw firsthand more Yankee history than anyone else.

He will tell some of those stories..and you will hear the names Ruth/Gehrig/Joe D/Mickey/Whitey/Billy/Roger/Reggie and more.

Easily on of my TOP 5 All-Time Guests.

Lawrence Eugene "Larry" Doby

Episode 28 Being "2nd" was for too long what Larry Doby was known for. I think you will hear today as Larry recounts his life on and off the field that he's been shortchanged by that narrative. The Hall of Famer lived an incredible one. Baseball AND Social History lesson in 3...2...
