Replying to @DavidPSamson
@DavidPSamson says MLB no longer needs radio: "We don't need baseball on radio anymore." The former Marlins president predicts on Nothing Personal that "radio will go the way of Kodak and Blockbuster." @JohnMamola has more. #MLB barrettmedia.com/2026/10/28/…

David Samson: Baseball Is No Longer "Needed" On The Radio

"You require to have baseball and radio because everybody hasn't died yet who grew up listening to baseball on the radio. But guess what? That generation is going to die at some point."

This is Milwaukee’s first World Series title since Lew Burdette threw a shutout against the Yankees on two days’ rest in Game 7 of the 1957 World Series. Eddie Mathews doubled and scored on a Hank Aaron single during a four-run third that led the Braves to a 5-0 win.

Old guy take: Maybe if he wasn’t wearing oven mitts he could’ve hung on to second base. Also, get off my lawn.

Too bad #WNBA finals aren’t on a 2-3-2 format.
