EPISODE SUMMARY

The Lockout of 2022 is thankfully over, and baseball season is in full swing. We weren't so lucky in 1994 as a strike ended the season in August, and cancelled the World Series for the first time in 90 years. In our latest episode, we discuss the issues that led to the strike, the eventual resolution, and the long-term impacts both on and off the field.

Jon Pessah's The Game, was a particularly valuable resource in putting together this episode.

EPISODE SUMMARY

We've talked about a lot of great teams over the last 18 months, but this time we've decided to challenge ourselves and talk about a completely random team from the history of sports. We landed on the 1981-82 Utah Jazz, led by Adrian Dantley and coached by Frank Layden. The team was bad (25-57) but this podcast episode is absolutely great!

Bill Simmons' Book of Basketball was an excellent source for background on Adrian Dantley.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In the second installment of our two part episode on sports in 1986, we talk about a baseball postseason filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments involving Mike Scott, Mookie Wilson, Dave Henderson, Bill Buckner, and Roger Clemens, among others. The season ended with a win by one of the rowdiest teams in MLB history--the '86 Mets. Then we turn our attention to the NFL and the first Super Bowl victory for the New York Giants (complete with the first Gatorade shower and first "I'm going to Disneyland" promo.)
