The PosCast Episode 13 — Emotions

Posted on June 26, 2015September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

Big PosCast this week. I try to sneak in a plug for my new book “The Secret of Golf.” Michael talks endlessly about this controversy — you might have heard something about it — in the New England area about footballs and air pressure or something. Someone ought to come up with a clever name…

Busted Royal Flush

Posted on June 25, 2015September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

One of my favorite things in sports (or least favorite things, depending on your appreciation of irony) is when we freak out about stuff that ends up not happening. I guess you could call it the Y2K Syndrome, when people thought a computer quirk would more or less end the world when we entered the 2000s….

Pinball

Posted on June 24, 2015September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

  Those sneaky editors at Our State Magazine — which really is a fantastic magazine in North Carolina — have been trying to get me to write for them now and again. This is really flattering but problematic because I don’t really have time for any more work. I can’t even get to the last…

The Steph Stuff

Posted on June 23, 2015September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

This was fun, writing about Steph Curry and what he meant to Charlotte. Gave me a chance to relive the early Hornets days and the cult-hero wonder of his father Dell … CHARLOTTE — Everywhere the 10-year-old goes in this town, she hears stories about Steph Curry. You see, Curry is embedded into her day-to-day…

Just About Perfect

Posted on June 21, 2015June 23, 2015 by Joe Posnanski

One of the great things about baseball is this: It has been around so long that almost everything has precedent. For instance, when Max Scherzer lost his perfect game with two outs in the ninth when he hit Pittsburgh’s Jose Tabata, I was SURE that was the first time that had happened. It HAD to…

Pixar Family Ratings

Posted on June 20, 2015September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

With the release of “Inside Out,” everyone seems to be ranking the 15 feature length Pixar movies. So, we decided — eh, why not? The only quirk is that we decided to rate the movies as a family, which is to say that all four of us got a vote. The four include: 1. Me…

Super Joe Turns 60

Posted on June 17, 2015 by Joe Posnanski

Is that a great Baseball Digest cover or what? How did Steve Stone turn into a super pitcher? What was the game Chuck Tanner would never forget. And most importantly: Did Joe Charboneau really twinkle? Of all the verbs to use, that one seems just about the least appropriate for the man. Super Joe turns…

Radio Radio

Posted on June 16, 2015June 17, 2015 by Joe Posnanski

Let’s put up my crazy radio schedule for the next couple of days, mostly for my own amusement. This, of course, is for THE SECRET OF GOLF, my new book on Tom Watson’s rivalry and friendship with Jack Nicklaus. I’ll try to update as the days go on with some of my more comical errors…

LeBron

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Joe Posnanski

  These few thoughts on what LeBron James has meant to me this season are all the more poignant after Kyrie Irving’s injury at the end of Game 1. I don’t think the Cavaliers can beat Golden State in seven games. But to be honest — and I can’t believe I’m saying this after 50 years of…

An Excerpt from THE SECRET OF GOLF

Posted on June 4, 2015 by Joe Posnanski

Here’s a little fun insider book information: Whenever publishers and authors and other people exchange notes or emails or letters about a book, they always put the book title in all capital letters. I was baffled by this at first; I thought they were putting THE SOUL OF BASEBALL in all caps because they liked…
