2023/01/09

As the regular season of 1962 comes to a close, the New York Mets have already claimed a daunting record… the most losses in a season. Having passed the Athletics 1916 record of 117 losses on September 23rd, the Mets headed to Wrigley Field for the final game of the season with a record of 40-119 (plus one tied game). Could the players find a bit of honor to close out the debut season with a win, or would they reach the talismanic mark of 120 losses? Bob Murphy, supported by Ralph Kiner and Lindsey

Satchell Paige spent over forty years playing baseball at various levels, but his mark in history is a simple one… he was the first African-American to pitch in the American League, and the seventh player to integrate into the majors. He did that when he was 42, and he remains the oldest debutant in either league. He was also the first African-American to pitch in a World Series, and it's that game we join today. It's Game 5 of the World Series, and Paige's Cleveland Indians are up against the

The Baltimore Orioles won the 1970 World Series, but the 1971 campaign would match a pitching record that stands to this day. The four starting pitchers Pat Dobson (20-8), Dave McNally (21–5), Mike Cuellar (20–9), and Jim Palmer (20–10) all posted 20 or more wins. The only other team in the history of the majors to have four pitchers on 20-plus wins in a season are the 1920 White Sox. We join the Orioles for the second game in a double-header with the California Angels. The teams would meet

1968 is known as ‘The Year Of The Pitcher’, and there was no finer pitcher than Bob Gibson of the St Louis Cardinals. Since then, no pitcher has come close to matching his ERA of 1.12. The Cardinals were not just one pitcher though, and the whole team worked together to top the American League and take on the Detroit Tigers in the World Series (1968 was the last year before the playoff system was introduced). The Cardinals had home-field advantage for Game 1, and they put Bob Gibson on the mound. On

1965 would be the last year that the Braves would play in Milwaukee. The plan had been to say goodbye to the city and move to Atlanta at the end of the 1964 season, but their stadium lease saw them play out one more year. The Braves maintained an impressive win record throughout their time in Milwaukee with two pennants and one World Series, and never once posting a losing record. We join the second game of a double-header against the New York Mets at Milwaukee County Stadium, the stadium that kept

2022/11/28

It’s Game 5 of the 1956 World Series. Pitching for the Yankees is Don Larsen. Following four walks and four unearned runs given up in Game 2 before the end of the second inning, there was little indication that Larsen was about to throw the only perfect game in World Series history. Bob Wolff and Bob Neal call the game for MBS Radio, and as is tradition, never mention the no-hitter is on, let alone a perfect game… although Wolff might drop a few hints. See if you can spot them.
