DOMINIC PAUL DIMAGGIO
"THE LITTLE PROFESSOR" It's hard to be underrated when you are a 7 time All-Star..or you accumulate both the numbers and respect that led Ted Williams to claim the man should be in the Hall of Fame..but the entirety of Dominic DiMaggios career and more importantly life is exemplary. Here he tells some of his story

"BOCH" Straight shooter. And a touch and feel that only comes when you both respect and love your players and the game. 3 Titles..and perhaps (Buster Posey) never managing a Hall of Fame player in those runs. Here's his story..

Episode 28 Being "2nd" was for too long what Larry Doby was known for. I think you will hear today as Larry recounts his life on and off the field that he's been shortchanged by that narrative. The HOFer lived an incredible one. Baseball AND Social History lesson in 3...2...

Charlie Hustle The Hit King Part One Pete Rose played one way..for 24 seasons. And he has no apologies..and doesn't care what you think of him..as long as you include "Winner" somewhere in your description of who he was as a player. This is Pete talking about BASEBALL. His career. His teammates. And how he views all of it. And that hopefully makes this different.

A Chicago kid..whose baseball path to the Draft and Minor League baseball was as far from a straight line as you can get. A final Major League AB that we will talk about..and it's role in shortening the then 12 year career. This conversation from 2001 was after his HOF Election..but before serious off field allegations had surfaced. I will explain why I included this conversation in our series in light of tha...
This Episode of HARDBALL is different. And timely. The "fight" between players and owners..based on "distrust" and now decades of acrimony..had a beginning. My conversation from 2001 with MLBPA's first Executive Director..and how baseball and sports..all of sports..were never the same after his election.

You can't burst onto the scene any bigger than Fred Lynn did. The spotlight of a big market team..the hope of perhaps breaking the 57 year World Series drought in Boston..and the 1975 Rookie of the Year AND MVP leading his team into a Game 7 to cap off what would have been called one of the Greatest seasons ever for a young player in the Games history.. He'll talk about that and so much here..

Jim will tell the story of before all of that here. How life changing moments..starting at his adoption at 2 days old through a car accident at 17 that could have derailed it all. Hope you enjoy Hall of Famer Jim Palmer.
