MLB's First No-Hitter, All-Star History, NBA Summer League Standouts & Baseball's Second-Half Race

from SportsIQ with Larry Smith · host Rise Above Productions & Revision Sound

The MLB All-Star break is over, and SportsIQ with Larry Smith looks ahead to a fascinating second half of the baseball season while diving into one of the game's oldest records. In today's Moment of Awe, Larry tells the story of George Bradley, who threw Major League Baseball's very first no-hitter on July 15, 1876, before later serving as a Philadelphia police officer.Larry also breaks down the American League's dominant All-Star Game victory and shares incredible Mid-Summer Classic trivia, including why Hank Aaron appeared in 25 All-Star Games despite playing only 23 seasons, the legends who own All-Star records, and the unique era when MLB played two All-Star Games each season.Heavy.com's Erik Anderson joins the show from Las Vegas to evaluate NBA Summer League, discussing AJ Dybantsa, Darren Peterson, Caleb Wilson, Cameron Boozer, Keaton Walker, Yang Hansen, and the rookies and second-year players turning heads before training camp.Then Heavy.com's TJ French previews the MLB trade deadline, labor negotiations, playoff races, and which contenders—including the Phillies, Cubs, Brewers, Red Sox, Yankees, and Marlins—could shape the road to October.Finally, Larry and Producer Tony debate the biggest surprises of the baseball season, potential trade deadline moves, why Milwaukee continues to outperform expectations, and whether anyone can stop the defending champion Dodgers.From baseball history to NBA prospects and pennant-race predictions, it's another packed edition of SportsIQ with Larry Smith.
