Johnnie B. "Dusty" Baker Jr. joins Lost Ballparks to discuss his new book, Crossroads, and reflects on his early years with the Atlanta Braves, being mentored by Hank Aaron, sitting in hotel rooms with "the hammer" and Satchel Paige listening to unfo... more
This episode is especially meaningful for me. Years ago, I painted a portrait of my father-in-law’s favorite player, Juan Marichal, in his iconic high-kick windup. Today, that same painting hangs in Marichal’s home—and I had the honor of sitting down... more

Mike is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard. His voice, his conversation with the guests, his homework on knowing his stuff is fantastic. Really enjoy each story he does. Well done. I know there are not as many podcasts number wise but always on the look out for the next one.
Mike does a phenomenal job with research on his guests and it shows in the interviews. I really wish we could hear more episodes! Take a listen to past episodes! If you’re a baseball fan, you won’t be disappointed!
Beyond just the easygoing nature of the host, the SOUNDS of this podcast is what brings it home for me. The legendary old-time radio voices, advertisements, organists, etc., completely immerses yourself in the illustrations you find yourself painting in your mind of the stories that are being told. Wish the episodes were longer! That’s my only ‘complaint!’ Thank you, Mike.
I love your podcast I discovered it 3 years ago and I have listened to every episode. Keep going with it we all love the show. Hopefully someday you can get Ken Griffey Jr who was my all time favorite in the 90s on the show or my Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones who has great stories!
I personally look forward to every new episode of Lost Ballparks. Baseball has always been my favorite sport and the history has always fascinated me. This podcast is amazing because it covers the history of old ballparks through interviews and stories given by not only just former players but also former umpires, former organist, all time favorites in sports broadcasting, and the fine folks behind the scenes. I really enjoy each new episode and I can’t wait to listen to who Mike has on next! ⚾️... more
