Pat Sajak is our esteemed guest! We talked a lot of baseball, including his growing up in Chicago, becoming an Orioles and Dodgers fan and even his love for a Florida team! He loves the game and it shows.

We also talked Savannah Bananas, due to a personal connection and his love of the game. Cal Ripken Jr. is an important name in today's interview, they have a very close relationship. And those two to more than just baseball!

\First pitches and bobbleheads, Wheel of Kurkjian probably owes some royalties. Tim and Jeff brought up Tim's All Show Host Team to get Sajak's yay or nay on it! Plus we hear the impact his years on television did for the fans.

Thank you so much for listening as always, and thank you for being a part of our family!

With one week left in the regular season, Tim Kurkjian thinks the Padres are a team a lot of people aren’t talking about enough. José Ramírez adds another chapter to the conversation about whether he is the greatest Cleveland baseball player ever. What do you say? And after seeing them again in person, Tim is convinced the Rays’ style of play is something to smile about.

Ben Rice has 39 homers, just like a friend of the show who was pretty close with his prediction. Payton Tolle might be our favorite player ever. He is simply a quote machine. And Tim breaks down the latest on the labor negotiations, and they are NOT going well. Bregman, Glasnow and the Phillies all play a role in today’s Quirkjians.

On This Date in Baseball History is STACKED, featuring both Fielders, Walter Johnson (who would’ve guessed?) and a National Anthem singer you might not have heard of yet. Then, on the Wheel of Kurkjian, we hear about Tito Francona and the minor leagues, with plenty of great stories from both.

And last but certainly not least, Tim gives us his Team Tim of All Show Hosts in honor of our guest tomorrow, Pat Sajak.

Thank you so much for listening, watching, supporting and caring. And as always, thank you for being a part of our family!

The Yankees, Dodgers, Brewers, and White Sox all have big takeaways this week on "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" Tim Kurkjian breaks it all down, along with just how incredible Junior Caminero has been over the last week. Plus, Tim's raw reaction to Pete Alonso's 300th homer AT Citi Field.

Payton Tolle might be Jeff's new favorite player, and it has a lot to do with his postgame press conferences AND the way he plays the game. PCA obviously makes an appearance in the Quirkjians because when is he not? Murakami strikes out a lot, but it hasn't stopped him or the White Sox from leading the AL Central.

DOUBLE (maybe triple) the Team Tim today, starting with On This Date in Baseball History. Tim Kurkjian puts together a team consisting of big happenings on this date, and we didn't realize just how big it was. This is a star-studded lineup.

The Alphabest consists of our final installment, Z! During Three Cards In The Bathroom, we talk current and former players, fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren. A fascinating correlation with this one.

We wrap with a double Team Tim. Yes, you read that right. Even Jeff gets in on the action, making good on a promise of a team consisting of Roberto Clemente Award winners!

Thanks for listening or watching, and as always, thanks for being a part of our family!

Todd Frazier continues to be one of our favorite guests to have on each and every year. Now three years running for this guy! He's hilarious. He's insightful. He's pretty much a member of the Kurkjian family at this point. Todd, the former Major Leaguer turned talented and hilarious broadcaster, never ceases to amaze us with his stories.

Obviously, we start with his referee and umpire calls because, why not?? It's one of Tim Kurkjian's favorite things in the entire world. And of course, we have to pick on Tim a little bit. We share pins from Little League World Series visits of the past and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

We also take a moment to hear more about Todd's experience surrounding September 11th, being just 50 miles from NYC. What did that look like for him in high school? The man has many levels, ain't no doubt about it.

We hear about his matchup with J.R. Smith on the basketball court in high school. Something that, in the first half, seemed like an even match. It all went downhill from there!

Thank you to Todd for his time, and of course, thanks to YOU for listening, watching, and being a part of the family!

The Brewers clinched with a MASSIVE shutout win, and the Rays clinched too thanks to a walk-off (which is always fun). Anthony Volpe may have found his footing, and Lindor is fast approaching Piazza in that Mets jersey.

As for Quirkjians, the Reds gotta figure this pitching thing out after three games of getting trounced. More immaculate inning action, this time for the Diamondbacks. Plus Stetson gets quite the love on our show thanks to two of their high-strikeout pitching alumni.

On This Date, we bet we’ve never had THIS many big things happen. We roll out Cal Jr., both Griffeys, Bob Brenly and plenty of others. Plus, a Stan Williams fact that you didn’t know. He’s basically the Arya Stark of baseball (for our Game of Thrones fans out there).

The Wheel of Kurkjian brings up old ballparks, among many other things, but most important is this week’s Team Tim. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball will celebrate one of its greats, Roberto Clemente. Tim created a team that involves the best players to share a number with Clemente in a Team Tim that actually involves our next guest!

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we reflect on how baseball helped this country heal. Tim Kurkjian has some incredible stories and perspective on what the game meant to a very scared America in September of 2001.

The Yankees have done something for 34 straight years, meaning Jeff has never known any differently as a 33-year-old. That streak has only been topped by THE YANKEES, of course. Plus, Kyle Schwarber loves saving the day in a 1-0 win. And then there's Nate Lavender, who is the inspiration behind our Team Tim this week.

On This Date in Baseball History, we hear about the Alou brothers and their improbable inning. Lou Brock gets a SECOND mention on the show. And you know Tim has the best stories, including one that may be as hot as lightning. (You will get it when you hear it.)

Alphabest brings us to the best last-name players beginning with "Y" in Major League Baseball history. Would we say these are obvious? Maybe! But nonetheless, they could stack up as one of the best combos we've seen all season on Alphabest!

Three Cards brings us some fascinating stories, including one about Mickey Mantle. Plus, the Tim Hudson games that Tim Kurkjian has attended have a chance of going a LONG time, that's for sure.

We wrap up with the aforementioned Team Tim for another great episode.

A big Labor Day Weekend celebration for everyone, including the Kurkjian family! A Team Tim of the All-Labor variety will most likely make you stretch, laugh, and smile just a bit.

PCA continues to lead our Takeaways, mostly because his year has been absolutely insane. In the 155-year history of the Cubs, he is the FIRST player to do WHAT? Seriously… he’s insane.

Plus, Chris Sale and Paul Skenes are pitching out of their minds right now, but where does it rank historically? Tim Kurkjian makes a great point about the length of starts and how the game has changed. Adley Rutschman has done something no other player has ever done in a single season — and it may NEVER happen again. Kyle Schwarber strikes out a lot, yes, but where does this season rank among the most strikeout-heavy seasons in baseball history?

On This Date, we talk Campy, Babe, and Gerrit Cole. What an interesting combination! You never know what you’re going to get On This Date.

And the same goes for The Wheel of Kurkjian, featuring a very special guest wheel spinner: Jeff’s daughter, McKinley! Thank you so much for listening, and as always, thank you for being a part of our family!

Karl Ravech has been a friend of the Kurkjian family for a very long time. After more than 30 years at ESPN, Ravech reflects on his incredible run at the famed sports media giant — including many of those years and countless shows alongside our very own Tim Kurkjian.

One by one, Karl shares fantastic stories about Buck Showalter, Harold Reynolds, Peter Gammons, John Kruk, Terry Francona, Eduardo Pérez, and so many others. The stories this man has collected over the years might be unmatched!

And, as you might imagine, Tim’s infamous travel woes are very much at the forefront this week.

Karl also takes us inside his final year covering the Little League World Series, which just wrapped up in Williamsport. The incredible people there honored him before the championship game, and, without a doubt, there were plenty of tears shed.

Ravech has also launched a new project called Dirt From the Dugout, part of the Foul Territory Network. Be sure to listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube!

Thanks for listening, and as always, thanks for being a part of our family!
