Few athletes have lived a story as riveting—and as revealing—as Dave Winfield. In Touching All the Bases, the Hall of Famer pulls back the curtain on his life in the game, giving an unvarnished account of his childhood in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the bright lights of Yankee Stadium, where his decade-long clash with owner George Steinbrenner became one of the most infamous feuds in sports history. With honesty and conviction, Winfield recounts the triumphs, controversies, and showdowns that shaped not only his career but also the culture and path of baseball itself.

Legendary baseball player and manager Dusty Baker reflects on his extraordinary career—filled with invaluable lessons on perseverance, leadership, and living life meaningfully on the field and off. Dusty Baker walked with baseball legends and became one himself. After he signed with the Braves...

Moneyball is a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the giant offices of major league teams and the dugouts. But the real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected over...

Historian John Ferling delves into baseball in the fascinating dozen years following World War II, when baseball ruled as the national pastime, and the names of the game's principal stars were known even by those who weren't fans of the sport. Major league baseball integration in 1947 also...

In The Ballpark and Beyond, Radom takes listeners on a captivating journey across 150 years of baseball history, weaving together little-known anecdotes, aesthetic curiosities, and the human drama that makes the sport timeless. Here are the tales of ornate nineteenth-century stadiums that looked like castles, the rowdy Baltimore Orioles who pioneered “inside baseball,” and the quirky pillbox caps and mascots that defined whole eras.

Baseball’s greatest moments—epic strikeouts, record-breaking streaks, walk-off heroics, and even real-world drama—paint a thrilling portrait of a game that’s as unpredictable as it is timeless. From Warren Spahn’s 18-K masterpiece to Ichiro’s 1,000 hits in under 700 games, from Jim Maloney’s no-hitter that still ended in a win to Aaron Boone’s back-to-back walk-offs, and even the eerie pause caused by an earthquake or the tragic shooting at a congressional practice—this episode celebrates the raw, human, and unforgettable stories that make baseball more than just stats. ...

Braxton Ashcraft’s recent struggles are hitting hard—five innings, two earned runs against the Marlins left him frustrated, feeling he wasted pitches and couldn’t finish strong. His last outing was even worse: six runs against Atlanta. He’s pinpointing “execution” as the core issue, slipping back into a cautious style instead of attacking hitters like his earlier-season self. Despite the slump, he’s confident the team’s belief remains intact and he’s healthy, ready to reclaim his dominant form. His focus now? Fixing his mechanics and mindset before his next start—aiming for...

Mariners had highs and lows last night: Randy Arozarena exited early with a possible hamstring cramp, while Bryce Miller dazzled with a career-high eight innings. In Milwaukee, Jacob Misiorowski tossed a Maddux-caliber gem with 15 strikeouts—possibly the best start in franchise history. Sandy Alcantara hit 1,000 career strikeouts, becoming the fifth active Dominican starter to do so. But not all was smooth sailing—Spencer Strider left early with velocity concerns. Draft expert Jonathan Mayo projects Bo Lawrence to the Mariners. Minor league standout Kade Anderson got some media love in ...

Bryce Eldridge just lit up the stadium with a walk-off grand slam, sealing a dramatic Giants comeback against the Nationals—and proving why picking a Player of the Week is a headache with so many stars shining.

Baseball fans are frustrated by the fragmented streaming landscape, where watching every game feels like juggling multiple subscriptions. Could MLB offer a unified “All-Access” package for just $50 a year to cover every pitch? With local, national, and exclusive broadcasts scattered across platforms, dedicated fans are asking if consolidation is possible—and whether MLB’s current pricing model is leaving money on the table.

Walker Jenkins, Minnesota Twins’ top prospect and MLB’s 11-ranked player, is nearing a comeback after a shoulder injury sidelined him since May. Set to begin rehab this Saturday with Single-A Fort Myers, he’s on track to return to Triple-A St. Paul next if all goes well. The 21-year-old outfielder, a highly touted draft pick, is hitting .256 with 2 homers, 9 RBIs, and 5 stolen bases this season. His return could be a major boost for a Twins team in need of momentum as they aim for a postseason push. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn. Advertise on ...

The Mets crushed the Braves 7-5, powered by Bo Bichette’s two homers and Juan Soto’s clutch hits. Nolan McLean held strong through a tough second inning, and Devin Williams sealed the win with a four-out save. Lindor’s rehab is progressing—he completed a simulated game and could return in June. The pitching staff is weighing options for Tobias Myers and Sean Manaea’s role, while Kodai Senga’s rehab looks promising. Jared Young’s breakout performance is lighting up the middle of the lineup—watch him. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn. ...

The Boston Red Sox are in free fall heading into 2026, clinging to a wild card spot by just five games while fans and analysts alike are asking if they’re already cooked. With a roster marred by bad trades, lost talent, and a string of injuries, the team’s offense is sputtering and the clubhouse feels drained of energy. Even the firing of manager Alex Cora signals deeper organizational rot. After a year of missteps and missed opportunities, the Red Sox are staring down a season that could be their most disappointing in years.

Young MLB hitters are navigating a make-or-break phase, where early struggles are normal—but understanding the deeper metrics matters. Players like Chase DeLauter and Travis Bazzana show wild swings in stats, especially bat speed, while veterans stabilize over time. Slumps vary: poor plate discipline, contact quality, or pure bad luck. The real key? Consistent approach. Focus on swing decisions and contact, not just results, to turn early turbulence into long-term success. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

The Mets are spiraling in 2026, sitting at 31-38 with a fading wild card hope despite big offseason investments. Key players are sidelined, roster moves haven’t clicked, and ESPN’s David Schoenfield calls them “absolutely real” — and warns things could get worse before they’ve even faced their toughest rivals. With injuries limiting impact and no clear turnaround, the season’s bleak outlook feels hard to ignore. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Luis Robert Jr. is pushing to return this season after missing since April 26th with a back injury, saying he’s been working hard and hopes to start running by week’s end—already seen throwing before games. But Mets manager Carlos Mendoza remains silent on a timeline, mirroring the uncertainty surrounding Jorge Polanco, who’s been out since April 14th. Robert’s self-set return clock is risky given his injury history, a concern David Stearns has flagged when evaluating trades. Meanwhile, A.J. Ewing has thrived in Robert’s absence, outperforming his former teammate with better stats,...
