ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The complete audio edition of BALLGAME — Baseball Past and Present, August 2026, hosted by Dean Patino.
The 1967 American League pennant race takes center stage as Boston, Detroit, Minnesota and Chicago carry an unforgettable summer to its final weekend—and the Red Sox wait beside a transistor radio for their fate. We also examine how the Mets landed Juan Soto yet fell far out of contention, and how Jacob Misiorowski helped small-market Milwaukee build baseball’s best record. Along the way, we revisit Jim Bouton’s groundbreaking Ball Four, trace baseball’s painfully slow adoption of facial protection, celebrate Roberto Clemente, and explore remarkable records and August oddities. The episode closes with a look at baseball’s changing postseason and rules, the limits of statistics, and the labor debate over proposed free-agent signing windows.
