But all of baseball was on hiatus until this week, 45 years ago, when the owners and the players finally agreed to resume the 1981 season after missing almost 40 percent of the regular season. Mike and Bill look at the reasons behind the strike, who was at fault, how it got resolved, what effect it… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Ep_163_Baseballs_Back.mp3?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 415 - Radio Killed the Telegraph Stars](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-415-radio-killed-the-telegraph-stars) _2026-08-07 · This Week In Baseball History_ Today, you can follow baseball on the radio, tv, laptops and phones. But that wasn't the case until 105 years ago this week, when the Pirates and Phillies game was sent out over the airwaves to the greater Pittsburgh area. It was the start of a surprisingly slow process that brought us to where we are today due to the owners' intransigence. In honor of this anniversary, Mike and Bill look back at… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_415_-_Broadcasting.m4a?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 300 (re-run) - SABR Pirate Radio with Mike Veeck](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-300-re-run-sabr-pirate-radio-with-mike-veeck) _2026-08-01 · This Week In Baseball History_ With Mike and Bill at the 2026 SABR convention this week, they're reaching into the past to pull out one of their favorite SABR memories, when they got to speak to the great Mike Veeck, with their good friend, Mike Duncan. This was a special epsiode. Mike Veeck is, of course, the son of Bill Veeck, owner of the St. Paul Saints and Charleston River Dogs, business doer, book writer, fun haver, and… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episoode_300_rerun-_Veeck.mp3?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 414 - Joe Medwick Is Just Ducky](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-414-joe-medwick-is-just-ducky) _2026-07-24 · This Week In Baseball History_ Though not talked about much today, there was a time when Joe Medwick seemed like he might become an inner circle Hall of Famer. And never more than 90 years ago this week, when he collected 10 straight hits over the course of three games. Mike and Bill look back at the man they called Ducky (very much against his wishes), and are surprised by his rapid decline after turning himself into one of… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_414_-_Medwick.m4a?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 413 - The Texas Rangers and Special Guest T.R. Sullivan](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-413-the-texas-rangers-and-special-guest-tr-sullivan) _2026-07-17 · This Week In Baseball History_ Beat writers and ballplayers have all the best stories, but it's the writers who tell them best. Mike and Bill are reminded of that this week when they talk with legendary Rangers beat writer T.R. Sullivan about his fantastic new memoir, The Texas Rangers and Me: A Baseball Writer's Thirty-Two Years in Arlington about his time covering the ballclub from 1989 through the 2020. T.R.'s candid and… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_413_-_The_Rangers_and_Me.m4a?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 158 (Re-run) - Arky Quits...Kind Of (with special guest Steven Goldman)](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-158-re-run-arky-quitskind-of-with-special-guest-steven-goldman) _2026-07-10 · This Week In Baseball History_ With Bill still on the mend this week, we're happy to revisit the crazily still relevent story of how and why Arky Vaughn walked away from baseball for three years. Vaughan was one of the most underappreciated superstars in history until his reputation was restored by Bill James. His disappearance has always been linked with an attempted players' strike with the Dodgers in 1943 that occurred 83… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_158_Rerun_-_Arky_Vaughan.mp3?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 412 - Hal Chase and a Preacher Walk Into Arizona...

Was she kidnapped? Did she run away? Was she just really, really lost?

So Mike and Bill pushed it and came up with this September 16, 1914 contest between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Giants . In their research, they uncovered a bunch of cool facts about Cuban baseball and the origin of the phrase "good field, no hit,"… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_411_-_Random_Game_VIII.m4a?dest-id=528531) ## [Episode 410 - Cronin Keeps Coming Through In a Pinch](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-410-cronin-keeps-coming-through-in-a-pinch) _2026-06-19 · This Week In Baseball History_ Few men can boast the breadth of career that Joe Cronin can (or could; he's dead now). He went from being a Hall of Fame caliber shortstop to a manager to a GM to a league president in an almost 50 year career in Major League Baseball somehow without making any enemies. Rarer still, as Mike and Bill found out, he left each job on his own terms perhaps becoming the only person in baseball history… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_410_-_Joe_Cronin.m4a?dest-id=528531) ## [One OS for your AI workforce (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Dq7Ut3mUKRp5) _2026-06-19 · **Sponsored**_ Build, direct, and supervise an AI workforce from a single operating workspace. ## [Episode 409 - Follow the Money: Cincinnati Reds](https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-409-follow-the-money-cincinnati-reds) _2026-06-12 · This Week In Baseball History_ On the 30th anniversary of Major League Baseball suspending Marge Schott for two years over her comically stupid and wrongheaded comments about a certain German chancellor, Mike and Bill debut a new series of episodes, tracing the ownership history of every original MLB franchise from their origins. While Schott and her tenure would prove to be the most embarassing in the history of the team,… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thisweekinbaseballhistory/Episode_409_-_Reds_Owners.m4a?dest-id=528531)
