The Real Birthplace of Billy Ball - The Denver Bears
Forget what you thought you knew—Billy Ball didn’t start in Oakland. It started in Denver, and Bob Burris was right there to witness it.
In this first episode, Bob Burris shares the untold story of how his father brought fiery third-base coach Billy Martin to manage the struggling Denver Bears in 1968—and how that decision sparked a revolution in the way baseball was played. From stolen signs to stolen bases, this is the real inside story of how Billy Martin’s aggressive, no-nonsense style changed the game forever.
⚾ Go behind the scenes with Bob as he recounts wild subway rides, late-night speed bag sessions with Billy, and the moment Denver fell in love with baseball again.
