The Ben Maller Show

Mel Proctor invades this edition of The Fifth Hour! The legendary gasbag spins yarns about Earl Weaver, Mickey Mantle and a gaggle of sports characters like Earl Weaver and Mickey Mantle from his 40-plus years behind the microphone. Mel called games for among others, the Orioles, Rangers, Nationals, Bullets, Clippers, and even the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders, broadcasting from the legendary dump known as the “Termite Palace.” That baseball circus inspired his new book, The Destitute Darlings—the insane story of a team going broke, bouncing checks and somehow winning a championship. You can’t make this stuff up! Grab your copy on Amazon or wherever books are sold. Hollywood, stop making superhero sequels and make this movie. Enjoy!

Somehow, the Packers rushed for only 17 yards in a home TNF loss to Atlanta, while Bijan Robinson ran all over them. Head coach Matt LaFleur called it a straight butt whoopin’, or was it a “boat” whoopin’? And all we’re hearing from Green Bay is a dogsled full of excuses. On the Atlanta side, is Michael Penix Jr. the hero they’ve been looking for, or is it a mirage?
