Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Orioles owner John Angelos reneging on his offer to show reporters the team’s financial information, the O’s acquiring Cole Irvin, the Astros hiring the Braves’ Dana Brown as their new GM, and the Twins trading for Michael A. Taylor to be Byron Buxton’s backup, plus more ways in which baseball is different from other sports (27:12), a mini Stat Blast about Jeff Kent’s ability to turn the double play (46:32), and a Past Blast from 1961 (55:58). Then (1:03:55) they bring on Joseph L. Price, professor emeritus at Whittier College, to discuss the past, present, and future of the Baseball Reliquary and the Shrine of the Eternals (a.k.a. “The People’s Hall of Fame”), as well as Whittier’s Institute for Baseball Studies and Price’s prolific National Anthem career.Audio intro: Sherry Davis, “Broken Promises”Audio interstitial: Jeff Buckley, “Eternal Life”Audio outro: Alasdair Roberts, “Roomful of Relics”Link to Rays prospects listLink to Angelos-Connolly exchangeLink to Connolly on the exchangeLink to Connolly on the booksLink to MLBTR on IrvinLink to Carrie Mathison’s fallow yellowLink to Dana Brown announcementLink to MLBTR on BrownLink to New York Post on BagwellLink to Houston Chronicle on BagwellLink to Passan on Crane and ClickLink to Ben Clemens on TaylorLink to CF DRS leaders since 2015Link to baseball exceptionalism wikiLink to “The Hockey Song”Link to “The Hockey Song” wikiLink to mound visit rulesLink to Ray Ratto on the HoFLink to Posnanski on KentLink to Slusser on KentLink to 2B ISO+ leadersLink to 2B wRC+ leadersLink to Morosi on KentLink to Russell’s Kent statsLink to Russell on 1B fielding creditLink to 1961 story sourceLink to 1961 Winter Meetings (SABR)Link to David Lewis’s TwitterLink to David Lewis’s SubstackLink to Past Blast wikiLink to Hall of StatsLink to Hall of Stats EW episodeLink to BBTF Hall of MeritLink to Prof. Price’s Whittier pageLink to Annie Savoy’s monologueLink to Dalkowski EW episodeLink to Shelton EW episodeLink to Baseball Reliquary websiteLink to Baseball Reliquary wikiLink to Institute for Baseball StudiesLink to NYT on the ReliquaryLink to Daily News on the ReliquaryLink to LAist on the InstituteLink to O.C.
