It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much to everybody listening all over North America. I hope you've had a tremendous day. I'll be hanging out with you for one more hour.
The show gets started every weekday, six PM Eastern, three. Pacific. It is Wednesday. I just gave you a new top six list. We've looked at Some of the worst organizations in sports.
I have the Browns at number one on my list. right now at this moment. The New York Yankees are tryin' to tie up their series. wild card round with the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees lead four to three.
And the top of the ninth. I'll let you know when things close, hopefully for the Yankees. That's very soon. Get into some more baseball that took place earlier today. And there we have it.
Well damn it. Game over. Botch, was that the s was that the final out? You are ahead of me then, if so. Were you watching ESPN or um ABC?
Oh, damn it. Oh, yeah, I'm on a app. They now. They need one more out now, huh? Yes, as of now they need one more out.
But yeah, I don't wanna spoil it. It just ended.
Well Well, there you have.
Well, damn it, Bonsa. What are you spoiling? The game is over, Tomo. I don't know. I don't know if someone is watching or listening.
Did multi-both streams? Was the delay? Botcher. Tell people the results of the game. We're live on the radio.
We're not playing games. Tell them the results of the game, man. Yes, the Yankees just beat the Red Sox 4-3 after a flyout. Done. Game over, the Yankees have now tied the series.
at one game apiece. A big disappointment at how things ended yesterday. New York Yankees bases loaded chance to come back and win the game. It didn't happen. And so at least today, for another day, and maybe tomorrow.
through tonight, tomorrow night. Uh Yankee fans will will kinda chill out. and relax. Give Aaron Boone A break. Almost a home run.
Not quite, Aaron judges, he said, gettin' it. on the warning track. We've had some other MOB results from earlier today. The Guardians, they tie up their series uh with Detroit. Got the Yankees handling business right now.
You got San Diego. They tie up their series with the Cubs, and then we will have the Dodgers, who will probably end the night by eliminating the Reds. Maybe the Reds can stay alive. We'll see sooner than. in later.
And before we get out of here Now let's see if we hear from any of the Yankees on the way out of the building. If you've missed any portion of the show so far, you can go ahead and hit Rewind on the free Odyssey app. Thank you for listening live on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. You got SiriusXM. It's channel 375, and if you have a smart speaker, be smart, ask it to play.
The Infinity Sports Network. We've had a busy show.
Okay, we talked about the benching. Of Joe Flacco, not a surprise, but We learn that Jaden Daniels has been cleared to play. Um They didn't say he's going to start, but come on now. We know that Jaden Daniels is going to start. We got Lamar Jackson.
He did not practice today. for the Baltimore Ravens. John Harbaugh was sick of answering questions about it, The Ravens are getting ready to take on the Texans. Hey, man, we got Thursday night football tomorrow. Brock Purdy is out The 49ers are going to take on the Los Angeles Rams.
Purdy will not be available. What a day, what a day What a day. 888-710-4ISN is the number. That's 888-710-4. for I S N.
In concluding the game, It seemed like every time the Yankees, you know, got a little bit of a lead here, Trevor's story said no no no no no I got that. He singled early in the game to tie the game at two runs apiece. Later on in the sixth inning, he hit a home run to tie the game at 3-3. And then in the bottom of the eighth Austin Wells He singles to right Jazz Chisholm scores, has to dive in from third base. hands straight to the plate.
Gets in. Gets the winning run. Yesterday, we know he didn't even start. Today turns things around and gets the winning run. I mean, we heard a lot.
Jazz Chisholm didn't want to talk to the press yesterday, really, had his back turned to them. While he was being interviewed, he was And Aaron Boone? the manager of the New York Yankees, he pretty much said, Listen, I get it. I understand what's going on. I believe in my team, he said.
He says, our Yankee squad. Is confident. Listen to what Boone had to say before the Yankees went. We've been playing these type games for a while now. You know, we've been playing with a lot on the line seemingly every single day.
So tonight was a great baseball game that we just couldn't get that final punch in.
So we'll be ready to go, and I expect us to come out and get one tomorrow. Yep, well, to morrow is to day. And the Yankees certainly did that. The series is tied at one game apiece. Whoever wins this sudden death, do or die game tomorrow.
They advance. They go ahead on and take on the Js who are waiting. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Hey, we got Wes.
He's calling from Idaho. You on the JR Sport Brief Show? What's up, Wes? A GR, great show. AA Just following up, I called you in the spring about the Seattle Mariners.
And what do you think? Do they have a shot at that World Series finally? I think they do given their starting pitching and finally the depth in the bats. I mean, it's been year after year after year that everybody always looked at the Mariners in their pitching, and it's always questionable as to why and when the bats were going to wake up and help them. Along the way, I mean, only concern is, and I've been talking about this for a week, I think I spoke to you about it last week.
When you got Brian Wu, Dina with a chess. Issue and you're a pitcher, and you have no idea what the hell is going on with your chest, that's something to be concerned about. Yep. Great show.
Well, thank you, Wes. Can you pitch? Can you go out there and help him? No, I was a home run hitter. Oh, excuse me.
Oh, okay. Here we go again. Chicks dig the long ball, huh? You you were part of that. I was a log ball hitter.
Okay, Wes.
Okay, you still hitting the balls long, Wes? Are you still?
Okay. No, no, man. I'm sixty six years old, but I sure like listening to your show. You got good content.
Well, thank you, Wes. I try my best. And thank you. I like Idaho. I'll talk to you later, okay?
All right, buddy. Shoutouts to Wes for calling from Idaho. 888-710-4ISN. 888-710-4ISN. John is calling from Colorado.
You're on the JR Sport Brief. Show us up, John. Hey, J.R., thanks for taking my call. Second time I've called you, and you have a great show, man. Thanks, what's up?
Well, you you you took you put up that list of the worst Sports teams and programs in that and Being in Colorado, the Rockies are terrible. The Colorado Rockies are awful. Yeah. And and I gotta go quick, but let me just tell you this. Hey, that nothing will change there because that's the biggest open bar in Denver, Colorado, and every game is packed and they're making their money and nothing will ever change.
Oh, ouch. All right, thank you, John, for calling from Colorado. Hey, Cor Coorsfield? Why, why not? I mean, I'll go to an open bar.
Why the hell not? I'll go to. Yeah, the Rockies are bad. They won four. 43 games this year.
They're not as bad as the White Sox from last year, 41. But Colorado. Forty. three. Victories last time that they were in the playoffs?
Yeah, yeah. The way that they're going, yeah, things are gonna have to turn around real soon. for them to go back. Damn. And since then.
They have either finished fourth, or fifth, in the National League West every year. Yeah, pretty, pretty bad. 888, we got a lot of calls. 888-710-4ISN. Nate.
He's here from Milwaukee. You on the JR Sport Bree? Show us up, Nate. Hey, JR, thanks for taking my call. You got it.
Number one, there's no debate. And number two, the Cowboys have not won up our game in the playoffs to go to a Super Bowl like the NFC Championship game. Since 95, so you cannot debate. They're a train wreck too. That's not why I called though.
It's um For me it's the Chicago Bears. They just I mean, they've been pretty lean on wins lately, but they cannot get their sequence correct. in how to run an NFL franchise. They keep going out of sequence. You should go GM and the head coach And then quarterback and they have it.
just totally out of sorts. And um You don't have any faith. just a little bit. With the new head coach, In the second year quarterback.
Well, they just extended Ryan Poles, and he's no good. I mean they gave that guy an extension and um I just don't see like really any impact players that he's ever drafted. Caleb Williams is an overall integran maybe he'll turn it around. But up to now, I'm not sold on that guy and I just don't see the Bears ever like getting out of like a seven, eight win rut for a long time until they completely tear it down and then go. GM code.
There is a possibility. If Caleb happens to be the QB. Sure. And Ben Johnson. is the coach.
That like let's hang our hat on that. and see what happens the rest of the way. I mean, this is a team right now. They're 2-2.
Okay, nothing to cry home about. Give them time. Give them time, Nate, okay?
Well, they they've had time. They've been bad for years. This iteration of what we have. This coach. This quarterback, they've been together, yeah, you know, they've been together four games.
Okay, yeah, that's true. I'm not going back to Jim McMahon, Nate, okay? Or Cuckoo, right? There's none of that.
Well, yeah. It's been a rough ride for the Bears. And um.
Well, have a drink here in Milwaukee. Have a drink safely. I'll cheers the brewers on Saturday, and maybe I'll call back and brag about my brew crew.
Okay. Yeah, you gotta do it. Deal with some positivity. Thank you, Nate, for calling from Milwaukee. Yeah.
I'm like, you're in Milwaukee, why are you so sad? Just have yourself. A beer. Not that tough, right? Dodgers are underway here with Cincinnati.
Okay. Boncha, these are the type of games that come on. And I just say to myself, get it over with. What are we doing here? Like they should they should beat him twenty to nothing today.
Normally I'd say that. But considering every other game today has forced a game three. There's got to be a little bit of interest. Just a tiny bit. Interested?
Just get them out of here. Like, what are we doing? I don't know. Maybe there's a potential collapse from the Dodgers bullpen again. There's a lot of factors that can.
mess with this series, but I Does anyone think they're going to win the World Series? No, but maybe they win a game. Yeah. That's the type of thing that makes me go, waste of Time. That's it.
Like, we know the Reds ain't winning nothing. And their fans, yeah, you just cross your fingers and just go, Yeah, maybe we go. Shout outs to everybody in Cincinnati. You just go, Maybe we win a game. Maybe you never know.
No, we we we know. We know. If I'm the Dodgers, if I'm in a locker room and I'm playing these games, I'm saying to myself, what am I doing? I want a day off. Let's finish this off.
Why are we going out here playing another game? Let's just keep things moving. As Bacha mentioned, we had a We've we've now had three games today. This is the fourth game. All three games.
Nobody eliminated everybody, and is alive. Cleveland tied up their series versus Detroit. of eight one six to one to day do a die game. Tomorrow.
So this would be a fun one to go out there. And C. Then you got San Diego. The Cubs beat him yesterday. San Diego came back with a get back.
They beat him. Three to nothing. you can go ahead and and say thank you.
so much More home runs, many machado, many machado hitting that home run. Finish this one off. This is courtesy of Padres Radio. Two outs for Machado. Here comes the lumber brought to you by Dixieline.
Lumber and Home Centers. Oh, first pitch swinging in the air to deep left field. Hap is feeling for the wall. He's looking up. It's gonna go.
Wait. Abel in Daven. For Manny Machado, a two-run homer in the fifth inning, and the Padres do add on. It's three to nothing. Yeah.
You know what, speaking of home runs, let's let's be equal. We heard about the home run from San Diego to tie up the series. Let's go ahead and hear Nailer. Naylor hit the home run. Three-run home run for the Guardians.
Five runs in the eighth. Help them ultimately win the game six to one against Detroit and stay alive. Here it comes. And Naylor A swing and a high drive, deep right. Back goes Perez.
Track. WOLL GOOOOO There will be a game three tomorrow. Yeah, everybody's forcing a game three. Yankees just forced a game three a few minutes ago, knocking off the Red Sox. Four runs to three.
888-710-4ISN. 888-710-4ISN. Paul is here from Nebraska. You're on the JR Sport Ree Show, Paul. What's up?
How are you, man? What's going on, Paul? How you doing? I haven't talked to you for a while, but Nate from Milwaukee, a fellow Bears fan, inspired me to call because Nate nailed it, JR. You got to purge that whole organization.
you know, you thought maybe things would change when Virginia McCasky left here. But it's the same old song and dance. And he's right. It's going to be seven wins every year. And now that they're building that stadium out in Arlington Heights, they're just going to pump revenue Jare.
It's the Bobby Craft one hundred one owners play, own the land, own the parking, own the stadium. You're good. You don't have to win ever. You know, his deal with Victor Kayam, which is a great read and an awesome background story. Um So that's my take on that.
And then, with all these sacrificial lamb baseball matchups, Dodgers Reds, for example, I was trying to think of an NBA comparison last night. Is there one? And, dude. I think there is. I want your opinion on this.
Here's the best I come up with. It's like 92. Bulls versus heat, you know, not the heat that we've come to know and love, like pre-Tim Hardaway. You've got like Kevin Lockery on the bench. You've got cycly and bimbo calls.
You know it's a 3-0 sweep. You know what I'm saying? I was when when you brought that up, NBA equivalent. I I thought bulls but I thought bulls hornets. Ooh, but the Hornets beat him that one year, didn't they?
When what well but Wa well, Alonzo and and grandmamma? Lonzo hit that shot. Remember him laying at the free throw line? What you talking about when MJ was gone? No, I'm wrong.
It was against the Celtics. They they pushed the Celtics out. I feel like there was a year where they just swept them and it was like, what am I sitting here watching this for? Another comparison would be Bulls Sixers and the Sixers are led by Clarence Witherspoon and those sweet Seventy Sixers jerseys that you'll never see again. Clarence, who couldn't jump two inches off the ground and was like six foot four as a power forward.
Yeah. He's kinda like the anti-Barkley. Yeah, he was Charles Barkley with look at me being disrespectful with no talent. He didn't have Hall of Fame talent, but he was Charles Barkley with no talent. Yeah.
I mean, he carved out like a eight to twelve year run, didn't he? For being strong? Yeah. Well, a name like Clarence Witherspoon, you're not going to be an accountant, are you? You could be, right?
You could. Clarence. How many accountants name Clarence? A lot, probably. Tons of 'em.
I don't know. I you're right. See, you're right. That's why I called in. I wanted to just bounce that off you and get right.
Shoutouts to all accountants. Shoutouts to any accountant listening named Clarence. That's a good one.
Well, thank you, Paul. You've been good. Everything's smooth. Oh, yeah, everything's great, man. Everything's great.
I've been enjoying these MLB playoffs. You know, one thing I I want your take on too is long season, longest season this side of NASCAR. And suddenly these wildcard games, they're over. I mean, it's going to be all over tomorrow. The season is what, like one percent of the the length of the regular season?
Would you ever would you ever toy with that? Uh you know, I'm not mad at this. It there was a point in time where the the the series were too short, and then they brought it into one game eliminations, and I thought that was crazy. Like Three out of five was too long, even for being short, right? And then having one game that just made me that pissed me off.
I think this is ideal. You know, go to two out of three and keep it moving.
So I'm fine with this, but of course, they're going to tinker with it again. I'm still mad at basketball, and they only do it for the stupid gate. When we know what's going to happen in some of these first rounds, why are we playing four games? What are we doing? They need to go back to three out of five.
Ooh, I do like that. Do you love or hate the noon first pitch time? At least here at Central Time, Eastern, where you're at at 1? I'd rather this than scattering the games over a couple of days. And every game is a home game.
All three of them are home games. Let's just get it over with. And this is better than stacking them up.
So I'm cool with that. Give us baseball all day. It's the sport is so regional at this point in time. Man, if you don't care about San Diego and the Cubs, you probably won't watch unless you're gambling. The great equalizer.
You're absolutely right. Final question. In your personal conversations, do you refer to them as the Cleveland Guardians or the Cleveland Indians? Do you think I have personal conversations with anybody about that team? Uh They don't get mentioned in my life unless I'm here on the air.
Come on now, Paul. When they say when I see those signs that say go guards, I always think of Ron Harper. Yeah, no, not and it doesn't it where's his kid now? What's this kid doing? He's somewhere out there.
Is he solid? Yeah, somebody just drafted him. I guess we'll find out sooner than that. He's somewhere you wouldn't want to be. It's the NBA equivalent of Siberia.
DR, always good to talk to you, man. Thank you, Paul, for calling from Nebraska. Yeah, that's what happens when you get drafted to a bad team. Bacha, where is he at? San Antonio.
So, technically, not that bad. Yeah, coming from uh coming from Rutgers where things were bad, so Yeah, being on the Spurs is on the up and up for him. Works out for some rookies. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, Coast to Coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break.

How about this? Cincinnati Reds. They got two runs up on the board against the Dodgers right now. Bottom of the first? Of course, of course he did it.
Of course he did. Bacha was at That's that's Mookie Batch just lying to uh to left and and got a double. Cincinnati is on the board. 2 O here. And we're going to.
This is going to be another. This may not be 10-5, but we're going to see some more.
Some more action here. Botch, you're getting what you wanted here. You want some Cincinnati action, huh? I don't like Cincinnati at all. I don't think their team's talented enough to win in the playoffs, but I don't mind seeing Dodgers fans sweat a little bit, especially when.
You have an error in right field that leads to the ending continuing and then the The only issue is, do we think Zach Lattelle is going to actually pitch more than four innings? And that's probably a no. Yeah, the answer the answer is no. Answer is no.
Well, let's see what happens. Freddie Freeman, everybody's a favorite boogeyman. Yankees boogeyman is currently at the plate. Still plenty of time. We know these Dodgers can put up runs very, very quickly.
Cincinnati leads here to start things off. Still in the first frame. 2-2. Nothing.
Well, that's good. We we know the Dodgers got expectations to probably maybe possibly go back to the World Series. We should have a good matchup, hopefully, between them and the Phillies. And that's the postseason right now. The WNBA, they just got to their finals, okay, set.
The Phoenix Mercury are going to take on the Las Vegas Aces. That will start in a couple of days. Actually, it should be Friday. And before we got there, the The Minnesota Lynx, they lost to Phoenix.
Okay, they lost three games to one. A lot of conversations about the officiating, what's new. A lot of people beefing and complaining about officiating in the WNBA all the time. You don't have to watch a game. All you have to do is read the clippings between The coaches and the players and social media.
The players destroy the refs.
Sophie Cunningham. Last week or two weeks ago, we talked about Caitlin Clark even being fine for going after the refs on social media. It's open season on referees in the WNBA. But yesterday, after being eliminated, well, actually, having her. postseason press conference, we heard from Nafisakalia.
Who happens to be one of the best players in the league? Nafisa Collier also owns and helps run her own league, a three-on-three league called Unrivaled that they just debuted. And then keep this in mind, the WNBA. is also coming to the end of an agreement for their collective bargaining agreement. There's a good chance, there's a good possibility, if they do not come to an agreement, that we won't have games next year.
It's a possibility. And so Nafisa Collier didn't just take her. Bye. exit interview with the media, with the press, to talk about her season with Minnesota, she took some time to annihilate the active commissioner. Could you imagine?
If the head of the NBA Players Association, I don't know who it is now, Chris Paul or Andre Godala, whoever's doing it now. Could you imagine? If they said something like this about the Commissioner, listen. At Unrivaled this past February, I sat across from Kathy and asked how she planned to address the officiating issues in our league. Her response was, well only the losers complain about the refs.
I also asked how she planned to fix the fact that players like Caitlin, Angel and Paige, who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little for their first four years. Her response was, Caitlin's grateful she makes $60 million off the court because without the platform that the WBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything. And in that same conversation, she told me, players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the meteor rights deal that I got them. Wow. That's rough.
That's a rough one. Uh This is this is tricky. Because I think if these words from her and by the way, she responded and she's just like, Oh, I'm sorry that our conversation came across to her that way. My goal is to still basically look after the players.
So she didn't necessarily respond to what she said. But if those words are true, What a what a jerk thing to say Like the players need to basically be thanking me, we making money. Caitlin Clark needs to be thanking me, the WNBA is giving her a platform. Like those aren't the things you should be saying if you're a commissioner. And apparently there is a disconnect between her and the in the players.
You know, we hear a lot of people all the time when it comes to the NBA. Adam Silver is is too close to the players and too buddy buddy. Man, you should wanna have a relationship.
So when you get to things like this, you can actually work through things. If you don't communicate, If you take a I'm here, you're there approach instead of a partnership, things don't go anywhere. The WNBA has a variety of issues.
Okay? I think they have issues from the. Commissioner and league standpoint, if these words are accurate, I think they are. If you're asking me, I think they are true. And I also think you have players.
who are just asking for more money, for a league that that hasn't made the money yet. That's the reality. You might have an influx of cash that's coming in, but when you ultimately look at the money that has been lost over the past several years, you got to get to a point where you break even first. What about the NBA, which has subsidized the WNBA for years? Don't you think some of those owners want that cash back before you guys start making some of this bread?
I get it. Everybody wants to get paid more money. Is there a way to do it? I'd love to hear it. But I think people want to get paid first.
Like every dime that comes in, if I've invested something into the pot. I want my money back first. before we start paying dividends. You know, it takes time, it takes time. Overall.
But in the meantime, I think the players bashing the refs like this, not good for the NBA, WNBA. I think her going after the commissioner like this, God bless her. I think it is brave. Also, at the same time, I think you're just laying your points right now for negotiation for a new CBA. It it it's just bad.
because the focus should be on the basketball, But the WNBA it seems like there's there's more drama. Like we discuss more drama than the basketball. And I get it. I'm not sitting around watching every WNBA game. You know, I would be and should be invested into the WNBA Finals.
Nafisakalia basically took a blowtorch to that. By making a statement when she did, they are going to have. A lockout. I'd be surprised if If they don't have one, if they don't reach a new agreement. Or Activity for twenty twenty six.
Throw it out the window, man. Throw it away. This is not good. Marco, are you going to miss WNBA next year if they can't get it together? I'd be lying if I said yes.
Yeah. I feel bad, I would, because they have so much forward well They've had forward momentum. And I think they're they're shooting themselves in the foot in the process. Yeah, and obviously coming back next year with Caitlin Clark, because that's the big draw in this whole thing anyway. I mean, she'll be healthy next year, right?
So you want to get her back on the floor, right?
So look. No, she'll be on the players are going to have to give in. Whatever it is, they're going to have to give in. Look, I I'm all for everybody getting every dollar that they can get, and I think we all want that. But I do understand both sides of it.
The only thing that I'll say that it's a little bit unique, if you will, for I don't want to say a startup, but for something that's trying to gain momentum as opposed to an established situation, if this was like the NBA or the NFL or something like that. Yeah. The lockout will kill that kills everything. There's nothing that's good that comes out of that. But all this is still good for the league as much as it should be about the WNBA finals.
Whenever we're talking about it, is good for them.
So the only way you could spin this is the lockout is if are they in the conversation more because they're not playing versus when they are playing. And maybe there could be a debate there.
Well, I think either way These comments made, these this is open negotiating. But um uh it it's just It's going to be a horror show. They may miss games. I just have no idea where the women are going to get extra money from. I have no idea.
Where are they getting extra money from? I don't know. And that's the thing that, look, and I'm not a. Economist, or anything. I don't know how to do the whole payroll thing.
I had to try to figure out in the slice of the pie. But, like, the one thing everybody says is they just look at the number. It's almost like, you know, when somebody will tell you what they made in 1967, like, great, okay, can we? Ration that out so we figure out, like, okay, yeah, you made 74 cents a week. Great.
What was the price of this?
So, I We have to figure out what it is that's coming in and how it's getting divided all over the place. Not just look at, well, how can a player only make $70,000? Like, I agree with you. That sounds ridiculous.
However, how much money are they bringing to the table and how much is being subsidized by the NBA? You know what I mean? Like, It's complicated that being subsidized. I mean, typically, you look at a lot of these professional sport leagues, the revenue is split between the players in the league at about 50% per.
Okay, somebody gets 51%, somebody gets 49%. Everybody goes about their business. WNBA players are basically getting about 10%.
Now, there's a reason for that. Where's the money going to run operations? You're not even making money.
So. That may go up. given the success of the league, Uh, you gotta give an oh, everybody ain't playing in arenas yet, okay. It's a tricky situation. I want them to make more money.
I just don't know why the money's going to come from. It's almost like the formula.
So you don't have to look at it, like, you just got to figure out: all right, the more money we bring in, we'll increase your revenue to this, and we'll go to this. We're going to continue to give you more money as we get more revenue, but we got to get the revenue first. We can't just give it to you. Does that make sense? Like, I feel like the league is almost trying to look at to do it that way in increments.
And I can understand the player side of it.
Well, I have nothing to do with the fact that you couldn't make money five years ago. I'm making money now. I want mine.
So I get it. But. There's got to be some middle ground. Doesn't work that way.
Well, let's see how they utilize the leverage that they have in this unrivaled league. I mean, it can't. Can't put it past anybody to say Nafisa Collier. I don't want to call it a rival league to the WNBA, but it's certainly a women's basketball alternative.
So you got to look at all of that. This is going to be very interesting in how this plays out. Wild stuff. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, Coast to Coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We'll take a break.

Damn, it's October 1st already. It is.
Well, this is going to be.
Well, if you remember this, you real old. Let's go back to October 1st, 1903. Pittsburgh Pirates. They beat the Boston Pilgrims 7-3. This was the first World Series game.
Never.
Okay, Jimmy Sebring hit the series' first home run. Deacon Philippe is the winning pitcher. And Cy Young, yeah, that's Cy Young. He was the loser. We're gonna learn something today.
Let's take a listen to the history of the Pirates reaching the first World Series, courtesy of Extra Bases Baseball. Under new player manager Fred Clark, the Pirates were National League champions in 1901, two, and three. And then Dreyfus made history. And the 19th three Boston won in the American League and Pittsburgh won in the National League. And my father called Mr.
Killaway, who was President of the Boston Club and asked him if he didn't think it would be a good idea if they played a series. And that was the beginning of the World Series. A one-page contract spelled out the guidelines for the first and only nine-game World Series. The Pirates went up three games to one. But Boston came storming back to take the next four games and capture the championship behind a pitching staff led by the immortal Cy Young.
I like the history lesson. October 1st, 1932. Speaking of history, Babe Ruth. This is when he made that call. I'm going to hit the ball that way.
He pointed the center field and then he hit a home run into the Wrigley Field Bleachers. It was a fifth inning, game three of the World Series. The Yankees went on to win 7-5. People say, did this really happen? Let's take a listen, courtesy of MLB.
I have seen the motion picture film, which they brought up, made by some amateur, which seems to have Babe Ruth's arm in motion. I don't know whether he called it or not. Jacobi Hart was a catcher. He was right there. He knew what was going on and said, no, he wasn't pointing to stands, he's pointing to the bench and talking back to the bench because they were riding pretty hard.
He just pointed two fingers at the dugout and said, that's only two strikes. He wasn't pointing, he was. Pointing to the dog out.
Okay, he's pointing to the dugout. He wasn't gonna say, I'm smacking a home run this way, you bunch of losers. October 1st, 1961, Roger Maris. In 61, he hit 61. He did it against the Red Sox at Yankees Stadium.
The Yankees won one to nothing. And him, well, Roger Maris, he said Beirut's home run record. What record? There it is 61 $5,000 somebody He got his pitch $5,000 and here is the fellow with 61 you're seeing a lot today Oh $5,000 that's a lot of money right well I'll take $5,000 right now There's a hell of a lot of money. Back in 61.
Hey, October 1st, 2004, Ichiro Suzuki. He set a major league record, hits in the season, Eighty four years this mark stood. Mariners beat the Rangers 8-3. Ichiro. got to two hundred and fifty seven was Cecilia set the record.
Ichiro said. Yeah, I got one more than you. Take a listen. 258. And each row given a standing ovation.
As he steps up. Dead even. Lajard Sisliff. And a ground thump. Back up the middle, and there it is.
He's a new all-time hip king in Major League History. Number two, five, eight. My, oh my.
Nowadays, hits don't even matter. They'll just get on base. Bums with batting averages of 230 being all-stars. Get out of my face with that stuff. Shoutouts to Ichi going into the Hall of Fame this year.
October 1st. 2017. Are you kidding me? This is what happens? Deshaun Watson.
He becomes the first rookie. to throw four touchdowns and run for another one. Nobody did this in France Arkansas in 1961. Tied an NFL record for the most touchdowns by a rookie QB. as Houston.
won their game. Mm-hmm. Here comes Watson and he finds Miller. Here's number five. Just tied the rookie quarterback record.
Miller with a touchdown. That is his second today. One through the air, one on the ground, eight-yard touchdown pass. Fourth. Touchdown pass today by the rookie Watson.
Field. in the passing game.
Well, you think this kid loves football? Yeah, they did that against the Titans. I know Titan fans feel bad today. They felt bad on that day, too. And there you have it, October 1st, a few things that took place this day.
in sports. History eight eight eight seven ten four I S N Let's go ahead and talk to Eric, he said. He's calling from Wisconsin. Go quickly, Eric. We're up against the end of the show.
I will do that exactly. My question to you is: first time caller, too, by the way, I love a show. My question to you is, is that Um Why is it that The the Cowboys are the self-proclaimed America's team when The Green Bay Packers of all teams M they're sold out for the next thirty years And the Cowboys haven't done anything for thirty years You know, I'm forty seven years old. You know what? I just want you to.
Well, I got an answer for you. It goes back to Roger Starbock, okay? There you have it, a guy who served in the military. That's pretty much the start of America's team. And then that pretty much bled on into the 90s and Jerry Jones and his marketing.
So. That's the output. Probably the most logical answer for you there, Eric. All right.
So can is there There's got to be a way to get off of that. I mean, come on. I mean, really. They're the most valuable sports. That's called branding, Erica.
I don't think we're doing anything there. It's called branding. Look, and thank you for calling from Wisconsin. I appreciate you. I could say everything I want about Jerry Jones and how bad he runs the team.
When it comes to the actual overall value of the the the organization In business, he's a genius. He is a genius. He's done an amazing job building out the practice facility in Frisco. He has Jerry's World. He's a great businessman.
He's a great marketer. He's just in his own damn way. He's the worst thing for the football team. Hey, thank you for listening. If you've missed a minute of the show, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app.
