Speaker 1: those classic hits the Daily Grubro Podcast. What's up, everybody.

44
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm David Grubb and welcome to Week three of Classic

45
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: Hits on the MLB Bro Show podcast The Mixtape. This week,

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm highlighting a pair of pioneers who broke barriers in

47
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: the major leagues. The story of baseball's integration didn't end

48
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: with Jackie Robinson breaking the color barry with the Brooklyn

49
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Dodgers in nineteen forty seven. It would take a full

50
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: twelve years for every team to sign its first black player,

51
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: and some owners fought against the inclusion of black athletes

52
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: for as long as possible. In nineteen fifty four, two

53
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: franchises would take the modest step forward. The Saint Louis

54
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals were starting to strike when Robinson joined. The Dodgers welcomed,

55
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: if that's the right word here, welcomed rookie Tom Alston

56
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: as their first black player. Alston made his debut against

57
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: the rival Chicago Cubs, going over four In parts of

58
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: four seasons of Saint Louis, Austin appeared in fewer than

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: one hundred games, but he paved the way for Bob Gibson,

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: Kurt Flood, Lou Brock, and other black players who would

61
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: become the foundation of championship teams in Saint Louis for

62
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: decades to come. Meanwhile, a few hours to the east

63
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: and other Kurt was making his debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

64
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Former Kansas City Monarchs second baseman Kurt Roberts had also

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: been signed by branch Rickey, the man who brought Jackie

66
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Robinson to the Dodgers. Roberts smacked a triple and a

67
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: double in his first game, with his three bagger coming

68
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: off of Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. But after earning

69
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: the job as Pittsburgh's starting second baseman and a playing

70
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: in one hundred and thirty four games as a rookie,

71
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Roberts only appeared in thirty seven games over the next

72
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: two seasons before eventually losing his job at future Hall

73
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: of Famer build basle Roski. However, his impact for the

74
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: Pirates was huge off the field, Roberts became a mentor

75
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: to a young Roberto Clemente, helping him navigate the hostel

76
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: environment and deal with the abuse that he experienced. It

77
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that neither Alston or Roberts made an All

78
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Star team, won a World Series, or even had lasting careers. Baseball,

79
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: just like the rest of life, is fiddle talented people

80
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: who just didn't make it. What does matter is that

81
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: those men were willing and able to be first. And

82
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: it's never easy to be the first. And as long

83
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: as folks continue to tell their stories, the legacies of

84
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Tom Austin and Kurt Roberts will live. On mbro dot

85
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: com is definitely part of making that happen. That's my time.

86
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm David Grubb and this has been classic hits on

87
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: the MLB bro podcast the Mixtape. Now back to the mix.

88
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: This is the week each year that we stopped for

89
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: a day to remember the legacy of a man that

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: changed the legacy of sports in America. It's your void,

91
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: Mark Gray, and I'm going deep for the mixtape, Going

92
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Deep with og Mark Gray. Jackie Roosevelt Robinson came to

93
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: play baseball at the professional major league level on April fifteenth,

94
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: nineteen forty two, and in that moment, it not only

95
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: changes the complexion of the game of baseball, it changed

96
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: the complexion of America in general. Between the white lines.

97
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: There were no MLB Bros back in the day, and

98
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: when Robinson came through, if he didn't play at a

99
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: high level, there probably would be none today. Let's be

100
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: clear about something here. Ever, since Jackie Robinson broke major

101
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: League Baseball color the barrier, baseball has been a totally

102
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: different game. It's been a more crowd pleasing, exciting brand

103
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: of baseball. And now with the changes in the current game,

104
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot more of the athleticism that

105
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: we saw, which is what made Jackie so great. But

106
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: in a bigger picture, from a social standpoint, you gotta

107
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: look at the layers that Jackie Robinson affected the world

108
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: of sports, and not only baseball. Think about it, how

109
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: many mainstream baseball beat writers would they have been headed

110
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: not for guys like he and Larry Doby coming into

111
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: major League baseball and validating that they needed to have

112
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: a place to be covered. Secondarily to historic impact away

113
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: from civil rights and what they did and critical moments

114
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: to bring texture to the game. But as the game

115
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: prepares to stop once again this year and all the

116
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: players will wear it number forty two on that day,

117
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: we still must be reminded that there is still work

118
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: to be done. Well, let's just talk for a second

119
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: about ownership and what will somebody cross that hallowed line

120
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: into a place of power. And it's one of the

121
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: things that still fuels Dave Stewart, Reggie Jackson and one

122
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: of the reasons you have to wonder who's going to

123
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: be the next Derek Jeter to get his bite of

124
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: that app It's your boy, Mark Gray and I'm going

125
00:07:54,200 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: tep for the mixtape. It's the Black's Report, the Black

126
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: It's the Black's Report, the Black Ace Report. What's up, everybody?

127
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: This is just a Petrilli with the black As Report

128
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: on the MLB Bro Show podcast Mixcape. Here's where you

129
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: get the latest on the melonated Mount Marauders who are

130
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: shoving with precision and popping out all across the big leagues.

131
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: So let's check the report. The Stro Show continues to

132
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: stay solid for the Cubs as he had another great

133
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: performance against the Mariners. He pitched six innings, allowed five hits,

134
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: and punching out six. He's allowed two combined runs in

135
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: his first three starts and has a one point zero

136
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: zero ERA to start his campaign, which is the ninth

137
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: best ERA of all starting pitchers in the league. After

138
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: getting thumbed for five runs and five innings in his

139
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: first start, Washington Nationals ace Josia Gray has only allowed

140
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: three runs at his last eleven point two innings pitched.

141
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: He's winless to start the year, as he suffered tough

142
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: one did nothing end, two to nothing losses and back

143
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: to back starts. After walking thirteen battles in his first

144
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: two starts, black Jack Flaherty managed to only walk one

145
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: over five point one innings pitch while striking out six

146
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: and allowing one run against the Rockies on April twelve.

147
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: He's pitched a total of fifteen point one innings to

148
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: start the year, allowing only three runs with a sizzling

149
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: one point seven six ERA. A Hunter Green pitch six innings,

150
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: allowing three runs and striking out ten against the Brays,

151
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and he left the game with the score tied three

152
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: to three. Tash Bradley had a terrific twenty twenty three

153
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: debut for the Rays, pitching for five innings, allowing three

154
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: runs and striking out eight. That's a black age report

155

Speaker 1: The best, the blessed, the ball war wins ops A plus.

223
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 1: Baseball is a game of stats. I'm Sebastian Ball and

224
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm the numbers Mann. Jordan Skywalker aka j Walker was

225
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: one of the most touted prospects coming into the twenty

226
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: twenty three season, and this mb BRO has translated his

227
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: elite offensive ability into the majors. Walker is capable of

228
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: being a superstar sin was for many years to come.

229
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Walker has come straight up from the Cardinals double A

230
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: system and displayed I popping eggs and philosophy numbers. As

231
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: of Tuesday, April eleven, already reaching a maximum egs of

232
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: volscity of one hundred and thirteen point nine moss power,

233
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: which is good for the ninety eight percentile in baseball

234
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: so far this season this period, with a hard hit

235
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: rate of fifty six point seven percent, is showing early

236
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: bro bomber power. His expected batting average is three forty

237
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: nine so far, which is also good for the nineteenth percent.

238
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: How is expected weighted on base average on contacted balls

239
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: is for fifty nine. However, is totally expected weighted on

240
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: base average, He's three eighty nine, meaning that when he

241
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: puts the ball in play is almost always elite contact. However,

242
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: his low walk rate of two point four percent could

243
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: be hindering his productions lately, but he did hit in

244
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: a rookie record tenth straight games to open the season. Defensively,

245
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: Walker was forced to change positions from third base to

246
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: right field due to Nolan Aeronauto filling that spot on

247
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: the roster. With Walker's elite sprit speed in the eighty

248
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: six percent tile and its display of arm strength, it

249
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: should not be long until he's more than capable of

250
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: fielding the position. Walker came into the season as the

251
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: favorite to win ANIL Rookie of the Year and is

252
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: it possible that he's already won the award in April.

253
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: The numbers will tell and that's it. Numbers never lie.

254
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,480

00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: Now back to the mix. It's the gamblers shoe, It's

288
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: the Gambler's voice. This week, Daddy Daddy, please tell us

289
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: that story about the great manager Jesty Baker and how

290
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: he invented the high five. Can you handle the facts?

291
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: Emilb bro As facts validated by stats. I won't sell you,

292
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: no job, no cat, no lie. Dusty Baker invented the

293
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: high five. He and Glenn Burke on an historical day.

294
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: That high gripped hands and changed the game. It was

295
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven when the Dodgers played the Strolls, back

296
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: when baseball was happy. Ron Safe, Steve Garvey and Reggie

297
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: Smith had thirty blasts. Dusty Baker needed one more to

298
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: join that exclusive class. Four players on one team accomplished

299
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: the feat for the first time in baseball history. Dusty

300
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: flew around the basis, and he was so hyped that

301
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: when he reached home plate he almost flew out of

302
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: his spikes. Dusty tried to go low, but Burke wanted

303
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: it high, so Dusty met him up top for the

304
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: first high five. The simple gesture became a symbol of

305
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: prime but decades to come for sports worldwide. So don't

306
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: let ignorance sloop down like a vulture. Just another way

307
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: to celebrate the influence Blacks have had on baseball culture.

308
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: By my five backs, the breakthrough of MLB Bro Rookie

309
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker isn't just about Jordan Walker. It isn't just
