  • ”Shoeless” Joe Jackson

    ”Shoeless” Joe Jackson
    Nov 26 2025
    More than 70 years after his death, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is finally eligible for induction into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame. The legendary ballplayer was banned from the Major Leagues, 13 years into his career, for his role in the nefarious 1919 World Series scandal. On May 13th, 2025, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced he would be officially removing Jackson from the sports ineligible list. With the stunning, historical amendment, Jackson who is considered one of the game's earliest superstars prior to his 1921 ban, will be given consideration by Hall Of Fame electors for the 2028 class. Notorious November rolls on as I give a deep character profile on the man, detailing his MLB journey from humble beginnings in Greenville, South Carolina, to his meteoric rise through the baseball universe and ultimately his demise. #ShoelessJoeJackson #GeorgeJackson #MarthaJackson #BrandonTextileMill #CharlieFerguson #TomSlouch #ConnieMack PhiladelphiaAthletics #ClevelandNaps #ChicagoWhiteSox #ChickGandil #EddieCollins #LeftyWilliams #EddieCicotte #RedFaber #BlackSox #1919WorldSeries

  • Manny Being Manny; Manny Ramirez

    Manny Being Manny; Manny Ramirez
    Nov 12 2025
    During his prime years, the baseball universe was Manny's world, and other players were just mere mortals lucky to inhabit the same space. His dominant play and quirky personality would lead opponents and proponents alike to shrug and say, " That's just Manny being Manny." He was a hard-hitting baseball savant, with a bat in his hands and runners in scoring position. And in conjunction with his long flowing dreadlocks, his baggy uniform, his mighty bat, and his base-running and fielding flaws, the public was left with a caricature profile of Manny, as as carefree goofball and spoiled superstar, who could mash like one of the all time greats. As amazing as he was on the field, it was his judgement off the field that would come into question. This week we kick off Notorious November, where we profile some of the more controversial topics in baseball, with a deep dig into the baseball path laid by Manny Ramirez. #MannyRamirez #MannyBeinManny #MannyWood #ClevelandIndians #BostonRedSox #LosAngelesDodgers #OaklandAthletics #TexasRangers #ChicagoCubs #TampaRays #CarlosFerreria #JoeDeLucca #DavidOrtiz

  • Don Drysdale; Big D

    Don Drysdale; Big D
    Nov 1 2025
    This week we do a deep archaeological dig into the baseball path laid down by the legendary Don Drysdale. At 6'5" tall and 190 pounds, he was an intimidating pitcher, who used brushback pitches to keep opposing batters off-balanced. Together with southpaw Sandy Koufax, the tandem would become one of the fiercest lefty/righty duos in the history of baseball. By the time Drysdale's career is in the books, he's a three-time World Champion, and a Cy Young Award winner, with a win/loss record of 209-166 and a sparkling 2,95 ERA. Not bad for a kid, who never threw a pitch from the mound until his senior year in high school, where the Brooklyn Dodgers recruited and signed him in 1954. #DonDrysdale #ScottDrysdale #VanNuysCalifornia #BrooklynDodgers #LosAngelesDodgers #WaltAlston #Dodgers StadiumAtChavezRavine #FrankRobinson #MickeyMantle #SandyKoufax #CyYoungAward
