A Pitchers Hitting Streak | Pastball Podcast #121

A Pitchers Hitting Streak | Past Ball Podcast
This is the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that talks about a baseball history moment and under the amount of time you could probably run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt. Let's talk about Tom Seaver, the Hall of Fame pitcher, his hitting streak. He was obviously a Hall of Famer for the New York Mets, was known for an outstanding pitching career. But let's talk about the time that he embarked on a hitting streak that surprised many fans and baseball lovers. In 1972, it began in July.
The streak lasted 14 games, which is pretty impressive for a pitcher that was a major league record for the pitchers at the time. During the streak, he demonstrated his ability to handle the bat well, collecting several hits, driving in runs. His contributions at the plate added value to his overall performance. Sievers' hitting streak helped his team, the Mets, in several games, providing offense when he was not on the mound. It came to an end after 14 games, but it remains a notable achievement in Seavers' career.

How The Pittsburgh Pirates Got Their Name | Pastball Podcast #60
Past Ball Podcast
08/10/23 • 1 min
There was professional baseball in the area as long ago as April 15, 1876, when the Pittsburgh Alleghenys first played at Union Park. That club was named for Allegheny City, the former municipality across the Allegheny River from downtown Pittsburgh that’s now known as the city’s North Side.
Star second baseman Lou Bierbauer, who played for the Philadelphia Athletics in the American Association before spending a year with the Brooklyn Ward’s Wonders in the Players League, never signed a contract to return to Philadelphia. That effectively made him a free agent, and the Alleghenys pounced to sign him to a contract with Pittsburgh for the next season. The outcry among the lead was crazy and everyone said they were pirating this guy from the Philadelphia Athletics. Pittsburgh officially nicknamed itself the Pirates for the 1891 season and it stuck. It was actually a later influx of players, though, that turned the Pirates from a struggling team into a club that made two World Series appearances in the first decade of the 1900s.

Wrigley Field Vines | Pastball Podcast #8
Past Ball Podcast
06/19/23 • 2 min
The ivy that adorns the outfield walls at Wrigley Field in Chicago is primarily common Boston ivy, a clinging woody vine of the grape family. Native to eastern Asia, this import is the ivy that covers the walls of many colleges. It is the ivy of the Ivy League. The story of how the ivy got planted began when Bill Veeck was hired to work for the Chicago Cubs. Veeck’s father, William Veeck, Sr. had been the President of the Cubs and young Bill grew up working for and with the Cubs during school vacations. When his father died unexpectedly in 1933, Bill dropped out of college and was hired by Phil Wrigley, who had taken over the club after his father, William Wrigley, died in 1932. His role with the Cubs was more and more directed at putting fans in their seats and making them happy. One of his early jobs was to roam the stands and talk with fans to determine their wishes and bring back suggestions that would make coming to the ballpark more enjoyable. New seats, new concessions, and new ivy. Veeck wanted to plant the ivy for the 1938 season but his assistants decided to plant the ivy against the red brick immediately. They strung five strands of copper wire, draped with Boston ivy, 1.5 feet apart across the wall. The outfield wall covered 1,003 feet so they used 5,015 feet of wire. They then planted more ivy at the base of the wall inter-mixed with faster-growing Japanese bittersweet vines. This is Past Ball Podcast and as the Great Bob Uecker said Get Up Get Outta Here!

The Best Game Ever Pitched? | Pastball Podcast #61
Past Ball Podcast
08/11/23 • 1 min
Harvey Haddix and the Pirates were taking on Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews and the Milwaukee Braves, the team that represented the National League in the previous two World Series.
Haddix ripped through the Braves lineup with such efficient control that Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski said it was the easiest game in which he ever played. Haddix retired all 27 Braves he faced through nine innings.
However, Braves ace Lew Burdette had kept the Pirates off the scoreboard as well, so the game stood at 0-0 through nine.
Haddix returned to the mound for the next three innings and retired all nine Braves he faced over that time, making it 36 up and 36 down.

What’s That Smell? | Pastball Podcast #4
Past Ball Podcast
06/15/23 • 1 min
Jorge Posada the great Yankee catcher was a bit of a tough guy and refused to wear batting gloves. Not wearing gloves and catching takes a toll on the hands and he wanted to toughen up the skin. He used an all-natural home remedy of urine. That’s right Jorge Posada would piss all over his hands during the winter and spring training to keep his hands hard. He was quoted saying you don’t want to shake my hand during spring training before practice. His wife found out about this and he was forced to stop and use whatever the trainer would give him. Another reason to not be a Yankees fan.

Player Arrested During Spring Training | Pastball Podcast #3
Past Ball Podcast
06/14/23 • 1 min
Playing a prank on the new guy is no new thing in baseball. This one was a good one. Jerry Hairston Jr. played one of the cruelest jokes on catcher Gerald Laird during the spring of 2007, even getting approval from Rangers manager Ron Washington before doing so.
Hairston arranged for two police officers to show up in the clubhouse and issue a warrant for Laird's arrest on charges of unpaid child support. Laird lost it as the officers cuffed him, removed him from the clubhouse, and even placed him in the back of the squad car before those in on the prank would finally come clean. So fellas remember always pay your child support and watch out for those MLB pranks. This is Past Ball Podcast and as the Great Bob Uecker said Get Up Get Outta Here!

💨 One mighty achoo! and Sosa strained his back so badly he had to miss games. How does something like that even happen? What’s the science behind a “sneeze strain”? And is this the weirdest baseball injury ever—or does Pastball have an even stranger one up its sleeve?
⚾ Tune in as we break down the absurdity, the aftermath, and where this ranks among baseball’s wildest, most bizarre injuries.
