The Record that can NEVER be broken

Hi folks, I'm Peter Lemieux with Rounding Third, where I tell baseball stories. Today's story is about a Hall of Famer almost no one remembers, who holds a record that will never be broken.It starts with something that has quietly vanished from the game: the 20-game winner. In the 1950s the big leagues produced thirty 20-game winners. The 1960s had twenty-nine. Then the slide began: twenty-three in the 1970s, twenty-two in the 1980s, eighteen in the 1990s, nineteen from 2000 to 2009, and just twelve from 2010 to 2019. Since 2020 there have been none at all. The last 20-game winner was Justin Verlander in 2019.Rewind to 1971 and it was a different world. That year the Baltimore Orioles had four 20-game winners on one staff: Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, and Pat Dobson. A year later Steve Carlton won 27 games for a Phillies team that won only 59 all season, nearly half of his club's victories. Then the bullpen took over, the save became an official statistic in 1969, and starters stopped going the distance.To find the real record, you have to go all the way back to the 1880s and a pitcher named Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn. In 1884, pitching for the Providence Grays, Radbourn won 60 games in a single season. When his rival Charlie Sweeney was thrown off the team in the middle of the year, Old Hoss pitched nearly every game the rest of the way. His arm got so sore he could not comb his hair, so he warmed up by tossing from a few feet away and slowly stretching the distance until he could pitch.The numbers from that one season are almost hard to believe: 60 wins, 679 innings, 73 complete games, 441 strikeouts, and a 1.38 ERA. He led the National League in wins, ERA, and strikeouts, then pitched every inning of every game in the three game World Series. He finished his career with 310 wins, later lost an eye in a hunting accident, and died at 42. In 1939 he was elected to the Hall of Fame.That era is gone and it is never coming back. But here is a tip of the hat to Old Hoss Radbourn and the most unbreakable record in baseball.CHAPTERS0:00 A record that can never be broken0:24 The vanishing 20-game winner1:02 20-game winners by decade2:24 The 1971 Orioles and four 20-game winners3:12 Steve Carlton's 1972: 27 wins on a 59-win team3:44 How the bullpen changed everything4:21 Cy Young and 511 wins4:51 Meet Old Hoss Radbourn5:20 The 1884 season: 60 wins5:56 Every inning of the World Series6:24 The Charlie Sweeney feud7:04 Sweeney quits and Old Hoss carries the team8:22 An arm too sore to comb his hair8:41 The staggering 1884 numbers9:07 After baseball9:29 A tip of the hat to Old HossIf you love baseball stories like this one, hit like and subscribe to Rounding Third for more.Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@RoundingThirdPodcastMore from BadderSports: https://www.baddersports.com#Baseball #BaseballHistory #OldHossRadbourn #RoundingThird #BadderSports

Bobby Valentine: Champion Dancer, Controversial Manager

The New York Mets just put Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli into the Mets Hall of Fame, and most fans still know Bobby for one thing: the fake mustache. Peter Lemieux of Rounding Third tells the rest of the story, the parts most people have no idea about.Yes, we cover the famous Mustache Game from June 9, 1999, when Valentine was ejected against the Blue Jays at Shea Stadium and snuck back into the dugout wearing eye black and fake glasses. But that is where most people stop, and that is where the real story begins.Long before the majors, Bobby Valentine was an all state high school star in football, baseball, and track at Rippowam in Stamford, Connecticut, setting state records that still stand. He was also a champion ballroom dancer who performed at the opening of the 1964 World's Fair. He went on to USC, signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, won minor league MVP honors two seasons running, and built a lifelong friendship with manager Tommy Lasorda.His playing days were those of a respected journeyman, but his time as a manager was anything but quiet. From the Texas Rangers to the New York Mets, to a championship in Japan with the Chiba Lotte Marines, to a turbulent season with the Boston Red Sox, his drive to win followed him everywhere. He later became athletic director at Sacred Heart University, where a 57,000 square foot recreation center now carries his name, and in 2021 he ran for mayor of Stamford and came up just short.Bobby Valentine is a lot more than the mustache guy. This is the fuller story, and a tip of the hat to an extraordinary athlete and human being.CHAPTERS0:00 Why tell the Bobby Valentine story now0:36 The Mustache Game, June 9, 19991:54 The side of Bobby most people never knew2:06 All state star at Rippowam High School3:09 Champion ballroom dancer3:43 USC and signing with the Dodgers4:01 A respected journeyman in the majors4:24 Minor league MVP and Tommy Lasorda5:18 Injuries5:31 Managing: Rangers, Japan, and the Mets6:00 Controversy with the Mets and Red Sox7:23 Sacred Heart and the Bobby Valentine Center8:55 Running for mayor of Stamford9:31 More than the Mustache ManIf you love baseball stories like this one, hit like and subscribe to Rounding Third for more.Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@RoundingThirdPodcastListen to the podcast: [paste your Apple Podcasts / Spotify / website links here]#BobbyValentine #Mets #BaseballHistory
