  282: There Will Never Be Another Cy Young & Bill Dickey

  Sep 22, 20261h 35m

  On this week's episode, the boys break down the final push toward October as the remaining contenders fight for the last postseason spots and Wild Card chaos takes center stage. They dig into the White Sox, the Astros, Arizona, and José Ramírez’s 1,000th career RBI, asking what each team still needs to punch its ticket and where Ramírez already stands in Cleveland Guardians/Indians history. Sportswriter and biographer Lew Freedman joins the discussion to talk about his books on Cy Young and Bill Dickey, two all-time greats from a different era of baseball. The episode looks at their careers, legacies, and why the game may never see stars quite like them again. There is also Collection Corner, rounding out an episode that moves from late-season MLB playoff pressure to baseball history and collecting. Listeners get a mix of October race context, Cleveland star analysis, and a deep dive into two legends whose names still matter in baseball searches today. ————————————————————— Go get Lew Freedman’s NEW books everywhere: CY YOUNG: THE BASEBALL LIFE & CAREER https://a.co/d/0gBxxx6F BILL DICKEY: A BASEBALL LIFE https://a.co/d/0eTCk0QD ————————————————————— This episode is brought to you by Market Movers!

  281: Guess Who Really Invented Baseball?!

  Sep 16, 20261h 12m

  On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss the Dodgers’ handling of Shohei Ohtani’s injury and whether the decision to let the situation linger could ultimately come back to haunt them in October. With the postseason approaching, how much could Ohtani’s health impact the Dodgers’ chances of making another World Series run? Afterwards, the boys address the elephant in the room: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s disastrous season. Has Vladdy simply regressed? Has his massive contract changed anything? And just how concerned should Toronto be about its franchise cornerstone moving forward? The boys examine what has gone wrong and give two thumbs down to Blue Jays fans for giving Guerrero a standing ovation after finally hitting his first home run at home this season. Later, baseball author and historian Thomas W. Gilbert joins the show to discuss his new book, Death in the Strike Zone: The Mystery of America's First Baseball Hero. Gilbert dives into the mysterious life and death of James Creighton, one of baseball’s earliest stars, while exploring the origins of the game itself, who and what actually invented baseball, and debunking some of the myths that have become part of the sport’s lore. The boys round out the show with the season finale of Fantasy Factory before keeping things rolling with Collection Corner. ————————————————————— Go get Thomas W.

  280: Mets History with A.M. Gittlitz

  Sep 9, 20261h 12m

  On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down the Angels’ new era under Stan Kroenke. With Kroenke purchasing the franchise for a staggering price, Angels fans finally have reason to be excited about an owner with the resources—and willingness—to spend. But money alone won’t fix everything. The boys tackle Kroenke’s growing to-do list: Who should run his front office? What happens with Mike Trout? And is it time to clean house throughout the organization and rebuild the Angels from the ground up? From the Angels’ future to their former superstar, the boys turn their attention to Shohei Ohtani, who is battling an injury as the Dodgers face a difficult decision. With Ohtani already not expected to pitch until the postseason, should Los Angeles shut him down and make sure he’s healthy for October, or allow him to continue hitting as he chases another MVP? The conversation also turns toward the bigger picture: What will the back half of Ohtani’s 30s look like? Can he continue defying Father Time, or could his decline resemble other all-time greats like Miguel Cabrera and Alex Rodriguez? Later, journalist and author A.M. Gittlitz joins the boys to discuss his new book, Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team. Gittlitz dives into New York’s rich baseball history, the cultural and class dynamics surrounding the game, and also gives his thoughts on the current state of the Mets. Afterwards, the boys round out the show with the second-to-last Fantasy Factory of the season and Collection Corner! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  279: Forgotten Series: Ron LeFlore

  Sep 2, 20261h 37m

  On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys break down a playoff race where the stakes couldn’t be more different depending on the team. The Yankees—and Aaron Boone—need something great to happen down the stretch, while the Diamondbacks have proven to be much better than expected. The Rays could find themselves with a high playoff seed only to be vulnerable to an early exit, while the boys believe the Brewers and Phillies need to capitalize because their best chance to win a World Series may be RIGHT NOW.September call-ups are underway, but without many can’t-miss names arriving in the majors, the boys turn back the clock and look at some of the top prospects from the last decade who were supposed to become stars but never lived up to the hype. From Sixto Sánchez to Mickey Moniak and Ke’Bryan Hayes, they reveal the prospects they were once all-in on—and eventually had to give up on.Afterwards, the boys continue their Forgotten Series with their second featured player of the year: Ron LeFlore. Author Adam Henig joins the show to discuss his new biography, Outcast: The Ron LeFlore Story, and dive into one of baseball’s most improbable and complicated careers. From LeFlore’s incredible journey to professional baseball against seemingly impossible odds to how everything eventually crumbled, the boys explore the fascinating story of one of the game’s most polarizing players of the 1970s and ’80s.They round out the show with a playoff edition of Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

  278: Are Analytics a Diversion?

  Aug 26, 20261h 35m

  On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys start in the red-hot NL East, where the Phillies are picking up steam and putting pressure on the Braves. Do the Phillies have enough juice to overtake Atlanta? The boys break down what it will take to make it happen and what could ultimately prove to be the Braves’ Achilles’ heel down the stretch. They also discuss the Astros moving on from GM Dana Brown and what comes next for a Houston organization entering another new chapter. Meanwhile, the Yankees are surging in the AL East behind an exciting group of youngsters. Has New York found its next winning core, or is this only the beginning of another spending spree with some new financial muscle behind the franchise? That conversation leads the boys down the rabbit hole of modern analytics, player contracts and the way teams are constructed today—culminating in a red-hot take from Mikey that just might explain why Major League Baseball has evolved into what it is today. With the season winding down, the boys bring back “Legit or Bullshit” for a second-half edition, putting some of baseball’s hottest storylines and trends to the test. They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner, where Tyler “T-Pott” Nethercott joins the boys to discuss the latest hobby trends and a possible theory behind the Shohei Ohtani-saturated card market.
