  • Rickey Henderson; Run Rickey Run
    2024/12/17
    Rickey Henderson used the ultimate combination of power and speed to break numerous Major League records during his career. But what solidifies his place in baseball history was his unbridled passion to his craft and the game. He is the all-time stolen base king in the history of baseball. The greatest lead-off hitter the game has known and the most prolific run scorer to ever grace the diamond. There is only one Rickey Henderson, and this week I profile his life and baseball journey. #RickeyHenderson #OaklandTechnicalHighSchool #TomTreblehorn #BillyMartin #DaveHenderson #RonnieLott #CarneyLandsford #OaklandAthletics #NewYorkYankees #NewYorkMets #SanDiegoPadres #AnaheimAngels #BostonRedsox #SeattleMariners #BostonRedSox #LosAngelesDodgers #BobbieHenderson

  • Curt Schilling
    2024/12/11
    This week we profile the baseball journey of right-handed power pitcher Curt Schilling who's 3,116 career strikeouts is the 17th most ever in baseball history. He is the only pitcher to ever win a World Series game for three different teams. His 11-2 postseason win/loss record is the highest winning percentage, for pitchers in the game's history, for any pitcher with more than 10 appearances in the post. His 5-0 record and 1.37 ERA in elimination games, and his 3-0 record and 1.12 ERA in series clinching games, establishes him as one of the most clutch performers to ever lace them up. Even with all these aclompishments, Schilling finds himself on the outside looking in, on a Hall Of Fame induction. A casualty of the " cancel culture wars" being fought in a polarized America. #CurtSchilling #BaltimoreOrioles #HoustonAstros #PhiladelphiaPhillies #ArizonaDiamondbacks #BostonRedSox #BloodySockGame

  • The Rocket; Roger Clemens
    2024/12/02
    Our profile this week will be on Roger Clemens. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner, and eleven-time All Star, who would rewrite the modern age record books, by establishing himself as the preeminant power arm of his generation. Only to find himself exiled from the very game he dominated, as whispers and suspicions of steroid-use cloud his impressive resume and all of his accomplishments. #RogerClemens #Rocket #DaytonOhio #SugarlandTexas #SpringWoodsHighSchool #SanJacintoJUniorCollege #UniversityOfTexasAustin #BostonRedSox #GregKosc #TorontoBlueJays #NewYorkYankees #HoustonAstros #RandyClemens #BrianMcNamee #WayneGrahm #CliffGustafason #JohnMcNamera #CitoGaston #TerryCooney

  • Barry Bonds
    2024/11/10
    This week. Notorius November rolls on, as I take this month to focus on some of baseball's more controversial players, when I detail the life and career of baseball's home run king Barry Bonds. He had a stellar career, made a mountain of money, and holds many records in baseball, but his own actions and words have made him a pariah in the game, perhaps never to attain the Hall of Fame status that he craves and that his career numbers suggest he has earned. He was the most feared hitter since Babe Ruth and he is far and away, the best speed/power combo player to ever live. His connection to the PED era of baseball in the 1990's and early 2000's have stained his legacy, while many other of his contemporaries, with similar suspicions have gone on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. A sad ending for a career that promised so much, and that promise was delivered. #BarryBonds #BobbyBonds #PatriciaBonds #WillieMays #SanFranciscoGiants #PittsburghPirates #ArizonaStateUniversity #JuniperroSerraHighSchool #JimLeyland #AndyVanSlyke #BobbyBonilla #JeffKent #MarkMcGwire #SammySosa #GregAnderson #BALCO #VictorConte #BackwardsKPod #JakeRobinson #LetsTalkBaseballPodcastNetwork #BKP

  • Charlie Hustle; Pete Rose
    2024/11/03
    The curtain has been drawn on the 2024 MLB season, with the Texas Rangers abdicating their throne in favor of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the New York Yankees in five games, to claim the crown of baseball champion in this year's Fall Classic. Jake opens the show with an analytical breakdown of what happened during the history making championship victory, and what to look forward to in the upcoming Hot Stove offseason. Notorious November kicks off with a month of BKP profile-bios of some of baseball's more controversial topics. Thise week we start the month off, with a posthumous dig into the life and career of baseball's all-time HIt KIng, the exiled pariah Pete Rose. No player in any sport ever maximized as much production from their god-given skills. A pugnacious catalyst who played in more winning games than any other player in the history of the game, and he played each one of them with Game Seven of the World Series intensity. He was the rare player who could blow through an 162 game season, with a do or die reckless abandon in each contest. Unfortunately, the same attributes that endeared him to millions of fans, for his style of play, would be the same characteristics that precipitated his fall from grace, when the icon violates baseball's cardinal sin of betting on the game, while serving as the manager for the Cincinnati Reds. #PeterEdwardRose #AndersonFerryOhio #RayFosse #HarryFrancisRose #LaverneBloebaumRose #WesternHillsHighSchool #BuddyBlebaum #AsaBrooks #TonyPerez #DonBlassingame #CharlieHustle #SparkyAnderson #BigRedMachine #EricShow #JohnDowd #DowdReport #BartGiamantti

  • The BIG UNIT; Randy Johnson
    2024/10/27
    This week we do a deep tissue autopsy on the life and career of the "Big Unit" Randy Johson. As a youngster in the game, his tall stature created problems and setbacks to his immense potential and development. After some sage advice from Strikeout king Nolan Ryan, and after the tragic death of his father, Randy changes his approach to the game, and becomes one of the most dominant left-handed pitchers in the history of the game. In a 22 season career, The "Big Unit" would lead his league in strikeouts nine times, earn four ERA titles, record 100 complete games with 37 shutouts, finish with over 300 career wins and be the starting pitcher in four All Star games. #RandyJohnson #TheBigUnit #WalnurCreekCalifornia #LivermoreHighSchool #AtlantaBraves #USCTrojans #MarkMcGwire #RodDedeaux #MontrealExpos #JoeKerrigan #RickWilliams #SeattleMariners #MarkLangston #HoustonAstros #ArizonaDiamondbacks #CurtSchilling #NewYorkYankees #SanFranciscoGiants #JakeRobinson #LetsTalkBaseballPodcastNetwork #BackwardsKPod

  • The History Of Baseball In San Diego
    2024/10/20
    For over 100 years, the cries of baseball fever have echoed across the San Diego County region in Southern California. From Oceanside to Otay, from the neighborhood sandlots to the engineering marvel, that is PETCO Park. Baseball has been an integral part of the San Diego sports conscious, that stretches all the way back to May of 1871, when the game is introduced to the city, with it's first recorded game, out in the town plaza. While most of today's San Diegans know the major league Padres best, since their inception into the Major Leagues in 1969, there are over 60 years of rich baseball heritage, from their minor league predecessor, the Padres of the Pacific Coast League. This week, i examine the city's timultuous love affair with the sport, and the humble roots of this connection. As well as the baseball life of the three ballparks, that have dominated the San Diego baseball landscape through the years; Lane Field, Jack Murphy Stadium and the modern day baseball cathedral PETCO Park, #SanDiegoPadres #LaneField #JackMurphyStadium #PetcoPark #SanDiegoTribune #SchillersAndMurthas #ThePickwicks #SanDiegoElectrics #BayCityClub #GeorgeMarston #WWAvrill #LutherDummyTaylor #PacificCoastLeague #HollywoodStars #BobLane #CabrilloBaseballClub #SanDiegoBaseballManagersAssociation #TedWilliams #BobbyDoerr #JohnnyRitchie #RayKroc #TonyGwynn #BruceBochy #DickWilliams #TrevorHoffman #SteveGarvey #LarryLuchino #BackwardsKPod #JakeRobinson #LetsTalkBaseballPodcastNetwork

  • Sportsman Park
    2024/10/13
    In the long and storied history of baseball, there have been a collection of street corners that have become synonymous with the throwback cribs that have claimed domain there. At the corner of Michigan and Trumbull once stood the iconic Tigers Stadium. 21st and Lehigh was the home of Shibe Park, You had the corner of Findlay and Western, where the Reds played at Crosley Field, and on the south side of Chicago, at the corner of 35th and Shields, stood Comiskey Park. Today that tradititon still holds firm with Clark and Addison housing the Cubs at Wrigley. To the old school St. Louis baseball fan, the corner of Grand and Dodier can be added to that list. This week we will examine the rise and fall of the structure that stood there, and housed two St. Louis MLB teams from 1860 to 1963, Sportsman Park. A plot of land, on the north side of the city, where the game takes it's roots, and fans of the game witness amazing chapters in the baseball story. #SportsmanPark #StLouis #StLouisBrowns #StLouisCardinals #GrandAvenue #DodierStreet #CharlesComiskey #AugustSolari #AugustBusch #BrownStockings #ChrisVanDerAhe #Perfectos #StanMusial #SamBreadon #UrbanShocker
