    Infinite Inning 388: A Ghost from the Negro Leagues

    Two stories in which the players’ absence from the narrative is the point: First, we go back to John McGraw’s first right fielder with the Giants, a speed-based player who was supposed to be a nice guy, but still found occasion to heave this bat at the opposition. Then we visit a St. Louis Stars great who took a drink—or a lot of them—from the wrong bottle and ended up stiff and cold in San Diego. We ought to know more. Why don’t we?

    Infinite Inning 387: If Babe Ruth Were a Patriot Missile
    2026/08/08
    Over a hundred years ago, a forward-thinking sportswriter suggests that a certain Yankees slugger might solve a munitions crisis much like the one the United States military is reportedly suffering from today. Then we turn to the Giants of the John McGraw era for one of the more obscure Hall of Famers, one very different from Ruth but, like the Babe and the “platinum blonde” actress Jean Harlow, he got a raw deal from his own body.

  • Infinite Inning 386: The Yankees, the Giants, and the First Trading Deadline

    Infinite Inning 386: The Yankees, the Giants, and the First Trading Deadline
    2026/08/01
    In 1922, two New York teams make July trades that provoke a change in the way the game is played. Both were successful in their way, but how successful were they, really? And why did one of them involve a pitcher throwing up on Casey Stengel’s floor and a future Hall of Fame third baseman possibly passing blood? And we stop in on Babe Ruth in his last days and contrast a life of actual experience with a life of artificial experience.

    Trigger Warning: There’s a cussword at about 19:35. Hide the dog!
