What’s interesting to me is there’s is far more data about Martín Dihigo outside of the United States than there is inside. He really was as magnificent as they say. Don’t make me choose between Bullet Rogan, Lázaro Salazar, and El Maestro… they are all perfect. 😍

Read this and then listen to our latest Episode on Dave Brown who pitched in the inaugural NNL with what could have been the best rotation in NNL history!

(He also may have killed someone a few years later and changed his name to keep playing baseball)

100 years ago this guy would be saying the exact same thing but he would be upset about mass immigration of Irish and Italians.

Our 2026 opening day!

Dave Brown was one of the best LHP in the first pro Negro Leagues but after a celebration ended in a horrific crime, Brown disappeared but 100 years later he was found to have been hiding in plain sight!

P.S. Ed’s had a baby!

A 44-year-old pitcher throwing 27 strikeouts in a 12-inning game may sound like fiction, but that was exactly what Smokey Joe Williams did in a 1930 pitchers duel against Chet Brewer.

So we have new episodes recorded but Ed’s has been busy welcoming his first child into the world!

We’ll release one soon! Life happens (literally)

Grant "Home Run" Johnson earned his nickname by hitting 60 homers in a single season, but he was far more than just a slugger.

A Gold Glove-caliber center fielder, an ace on the mound, and a tremendous hitter, there was nothing on the baseball field that Bullet Rogan couldn't do.

A Facebook message from Coastal Elite on the passing of Terrance Gore. “A loss like this hits deep. In a small baseball community, this game is more than wins & losses… it’s people, families & the ones who BUILT it before us. We honor a fellow baseball founder whose passion & dedication helped shape this community & have so many kids a place to belong. Terrance Gore - Your legacy will live on. Please keep the Gore family & the whole Hurricanes baseball family in your thoughts.

Awful news this morning. Terrance Gore, one of the fastest men in baseball in the last 20 years, died last night, evidently from unexpected complications during a routine surgery. He was 34 years old.

A Negro League veteran, the third-oldest living major leaguer, died at 99 A veteran of the Negro National League died Tuesday at 99, making him the third-oldest major leaguer at the time.

RIP Ron Teasley.

I feel like this should be a major component of the story, and yet I've never seen it explored.

We’re back for 2026 and excited to see some amazing work by friend of the pod @adarowski.bsky.social coming out this month!

We are beginning to record a new season today - we will only have two amazing stories from Black Baseball history in February while Adam will bring you 14x as many this month!

A baseball league founded by a ruthless dictator can lead to some pretty high stakes games... 👀

One of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, Satchel Paige, learned that in 1937, when he had to pitch the game of his life on a field lined with armed soldiers.

If at some point the Brewers start Caleb Durbin at 3B + Jett Williams at SS in a MLB game, they would be the 1st team to start a 3B & SS both 5 ft 7 in or shorter in a game since:

7/8/1933 Reds
SS Sparky Adams, 5 ft 5 in
3B Andy High, 5 ft 6 in

(Inspired by @cespedesbbq.bsky.social convo)

Not only is white supremacy morally repugnant but it’s also historically ignorant and objectively wrong.

Having researched the Negro Leagues has really highlighted how amazing Black America has always been. (1/5)

A post from Iranian national team catcher Ahmad Ramezanzade’s Instagram page. He is posing with his wife and his team’s third place trophy.

Iranian national team catcher Ahmad Ramezanzade was apparently killed in protests in Iran on January 9. He represented his country in the West Asia Baseball Championship last year.

"After everything he'd been through, here he was telling me how we'd helped him with the movement. I'll never forget that." - Don Newcombe #MLKDay

Haven’t watched a WS highlight at all, except the ones playing in my head as I try to fall asleep at night.

The Mets could start Bo Bichette (0 MLB games at 3B) & Jorge Polanco (1g at 1B) at 3B/1B on Opening Day

Only team in last 100 years to start 2 non-rookie INFs on Opening Day w/1 or 0 prior MLB games at that position:

1948 Dodgers: Jackie Robinson 2B, Billy Cox 3B

Jays didn't sign either Tucker or Bo. Neither did the Yankees for Redsox.

Ty Cobb finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics, who came to Toronto for a late season exhibition game with the Leafs. Here he warms up before the game, which turned out to be his final one.

The highest compliment I can pay Ranger Suárez is I can't remember a single instance of a local fan trashing him. I can think of maybe four other Philadelphia athletes who played here as long as Ranger did who I can say that about.

Chick Stahl is one of the most tragic figures in early 20th century baseball, his talent on the field couldn’t help his struggles off the field. He died during Spring Training in one of the worst ways imaginable at just 34. His story should be more well known:
