Today, we're going to talk about a chapter of baseball history that every fan should know... whether you're a stathead, a casual fan, or just someone who loves a good story. I'm talking about the Negro Leagues of baseball. In the first segment we want you to come away with a deeper appreciation for what the Negro Leagues meant to baseball, and to America. In the second segment, we want to take a look at some of the great baseball players from the Negro Leagues. Please enjoy our podcast, and don't forget to visit our website at www.oldguysports.com and leave us some feedback.

In this episode of Old Guy Sports, we take a deep dive into the rise of professional athlete salaries—how they’ve jumped from modest paychecks in the 1970s to multi-million (and soon billion?) dollar contracts today. We’ll cover what drives these numbers, how fans are reacting, the pressure it puts on youth sports, disparities between leagues, and how sports salaries compare with Hollywood and music.

Is the money changing the game for better or worse? Join us for 30 minutes of history, stories, and a little bit of old guy perspective.

Welcome to another episode of "Other Teams of the 1970's" where we look at teams that weren't the Cincinnati Reds "Big Red Machine" . In this episode we pay attention to the Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1970's. The "We are Family" Buccos. Yep, Clemente, Stargell, Parker, Sanguillan, and the rest. Regular division winners, and two time world series champs. The Pirates of the 70's were a force to be concerned with.

In the second segment, we take a good look at my picks for the all decade 70's Pirates team. Some of the picks may surprise you, but we welcome any feedback you may have.

Miss Amy is in rare form in the episode, so we hope you enjoy....

In this episode, were going to look at just what the episode title suggests. Changes. Changes in sports over the last 50 years that were good, bad, or ugly changes.

Spoiler alert....He's not a big fan...

We hope you enjoy the episode.
