210 - Craig Goes to Cleveland.

Craig reports on his short getaway to Cleveland, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Progressive Field. The hosts speculate on stadium drama in Oakland, Tampa and Anaheim. The Mariners blew a 10-game lead in the American League West over a 24-game period, but will anyone remember in October if Seattle hangs on to win the division anyway? Craig and Rex glance at famous late-season collapses in baseball history.  We want All-Stars in their team uniforms and the national anthem performance at Monday's home run derby is a microcosm on what's wrong with the modern music business in 2024.Links:Jason Burke, "Interesting Wrinkle to Oakland A's Relocation Saga" Oakland A's on SI, July 19, 2024.Neal deMause, "Rays owner Stu Sternberg set to win approval of $1B+ stadium subsidy after giving free tickets to city councilmember" Field of Schemes, July 18, 2024.Noah Biesiada, "Angels Get Millions for Cancellation of Stadium Sale After FBI Investigation," voiceofoc.com, July 15, 2024.Episodes Referenced:205 - Baseball at War: Working and Playing Ball in the Bethlehem Steel League w/ William Ecenbarger 189 - Baseball, Chemical Warfare and The Great War w/ Jim Leeke 172 - They Were Two People Desperate to Stay in the Game w/ Bob LeMoine 163 - A Journey Through Mallparks w/ Prof. Michael T.
