This week marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City. I was both a New Yorker and a baseball writer at the time, and being there that day brings back awful, awful memories. But today, I want to dive into what ha... more
Today, we're diving into the illusion of sports. When we think of sports, we think of the highest highs, the money, the fame, the women, the glory. But, in reality, sports at the highest level are filled with insecure and self-conscious men and women... more
Today, we're diving into one of the most terrifying, scariest, mean, nasty, un-hinged baseball players of all-time. A guy who teammates disliked, opponents feared and fans hated. Today, we dive into the strange, complex, enigmatic Albert Belle. Have ... more
Today, we're diving in to - in my opinion - the last, most INSANE team in MLB history - the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies. This team rivaled the '84 Padres & the '86 Mets with World Series runs, they rivaled the level of insane, bat-sh*t craziness that ... more

Love your podcast, am working through every episode on the treadmill in the mornings, the time flies! Would love to hear your take on Dave Stieb.
Great podcast would love to hear a story about Kevin Maas or Shane Spencer, or Mel Hal. Keep up the good work.
Excessive and unnecessary profanity. Your stories would be just as good without it.
Every week, this podcast unleashes the awesome in past sports years. It gives us the sensational and the sublime. I also read a couple of his books and I have a lot
of respect for the writer as a person from what little I know. It’s opinionated. It’s raw but it’s as real as it gets.
Great stories that are very timely. However the f-bombs get tiring and old. I would rate this show higher if Jeff would be more professional and stop it with the language.
