  • Lou Gehrig; The Iron Horse

    Lou Gehrig; The Iron Horse
    Jun 17 2024
    This week we do a deep dive into the legend of the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig. While the roaring 20's was the perfect age, for the larger than life, overindulgent, and bombastic Babe Ruth. The 1930's saw the country headed for dark times, and economic collapse. Baseball now needed a hero who was solid, dependable and dignified. The baseball universe would find that hero in Lou Gehrig. #LouGehrig #NewYorkYankees #EleanorGraceTwitchell #HeinrichGehrig #ChristinaGehrig #CommerceHighSchool #ColumbiaUniversity #JohnMcgraw #AndyCoakley #MillerHuggins #BabeRuth #PeeWeeWanniger #WallyPipp #JoeMcCarthy #ALS

  • The History Of Baseball In Milwaukee

    The History Of Baseball In Milwaukee
    Jun 8 2024
    Milwaukee has a rich baseball tradition, and a legacy that goes back to the 1870's. Granted, it's never been the center of the mid-west baseball universe, and never will, considering Chicago's close proximity. But the last quarter of the 19th century, and the first half of the 20th century, often found the city of Milwaukee, in the thick of major league baseball, but never quite able to sustain a big-league club, for the long term. All that changes in 1953, when the Boston Braves came to town. Milwaukee is a baseball town. From the dedicated fandom for their World Series Champion Milwaukee Braves of 1957, to the way a small market Brewers team, stands among the ten best attendance totals year after year. This week we do a deep dive into the history of baseball in the region, and the three stadiums that have been home to the city's teams; Borchert Field, County Stadium and American Family Field. #Milwaukee #MilwaukeeCreams #MilwaukeeBrewers #LloydStreetGrounds #WrightStreetGrounds #MilwaukeeBraves #MilwaukeeBrewers #OttoBorchert #BorchertFields #CountyStadium #BudSelig #MillerPark #AmericanFamilyField

  • Cy Young

    Cy Young
    Jun 1 2024
    Denton True "Cyclone" Young left a baseball legacy behind that is ulikely to ever be matched. He won 511 games, which is almost 100 more than Walter Johnson. His resume of records also include, most starts, complete games, innings pitched, hits surrendered, earned runs allowed, losses and batters faced, as statistically speaking, he stands head and shoulders, above any pitcher who has ever played the game. This is the story of the kid, from the humble beginnings, who would go onto astound the young baseball world with his powerful right arm, and set the standard for all hurlers of the future to aspire for. Cy Young is a name familiar to all but the most casual fan, all these years later, and his name is synonomous with pitching excellence. We all know the numbers, now hear his story. #DentonTrueYoung #CyYoung #GilmoreOhio #PeoliOhio #ClevelandSpiders #BostonAmericans #ClevelandNaps #StLouisPerfectos #BostonRustlers #RobbaYoung #CapAnson #ChicagoColts #FrankRobison
