These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, Tinker and Evers and Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double - Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
There is a considerable amount of time spent on this and him in the Baseball documentary by Ken Burns. He's had to have seen it. Evers was a fascinating character. I think he missed a season because they committed him to a mental institution. Edit: I'm not sure he's aware of who John McGraw is either...Jomboy, you NEED to watch Baseball by Ken Burns. It's amazing if you love baseball.
More Jomboy is never a bad thing!!! I always run out of content to watch, so these are nice! Your watch time numbers must be really solid cuz Im not even huge on Baseball (even though it was second most played sport behind Hockey) I will watch whatever you put out.
8:48 “Sounds like theatre…” and I had to jump in to plug the book, Ballplayers on Stage: Baseball, Melodrama, and Theatrical Celebrity in the Deadball Era by Travis Stern. Lots of fun baseball history in it!
That was an incredibly fun video to watch. If you enjoy the videos off that channel you gotta check out "Baseball Doesn't Exist", if you haven't yet. Some of the best baseball content around.
@@hdjono3351 Funny how that works. I sparingly watch Baseballs Not Dead for the same reasons you don't enjoy Baseball Doesn't Exist. I can get through a bit of it, and enjoy the content of the......content, but I can binge Doesn't Exist. To each their own
I appreciate the baseball history with a fun spin on it. Definitely some things I’ve never heard of before. Also congrats on getting best of Talkin Yanks on YES Network! So cool to see that for you guys 🎉
I was about to say “how do you not know Evers (Tinker and Chance)” when you basically said it yourself. Also, Frankie Frisch was a HoFer and Leo Durocher was known as “Leo the Lip”
If it wasnt for Jomboy and your channel i would have fallen out of mlb years ago...i can now say im back in but not to mlb, but just the game. Thanks for the lip readings, cool tidbits, and for the love of all that is holy can we please have just one last game in the ol alley
i cannot recall where i read this, but the guy who attacked Magerkurth was before a judge a few years later for a different crime. germano allegedly told the judge that he had an accomplice that day who was being a pickpocket when the crowd was watching the fight. true? maybe. or maybe not.
See, they needed to have umpires back then and they ruined the game. Now we don't need them AT ALL and they are still ruining the game. Get rid of umpires in major, minor, and collegiate leagues!
You should do an episode comparing different pitchers success based on the difference in speed between their fastball and changeup. I wonder if there is a sweet spot in speed difference.
I’m all for shit talking bad umpires but some people take it too far. Certain umps don’t deserve the intense personal hatred they get just for being bad at their job.
So basically everybody batting when Angel Hernandez is behind the plate should start telling him how blind they are "God I'm horrible" "I must be blind" "How do I even have a job?"
Loved it! This really felt like a Laughs From the Past episode, just missing Jake... speaking of... this would be a great opportunity to bring Jake on whenever you decide to go through old stuff. A little LFTP resurrection. Once a month, twice a year, whatever!
Germano the Ginny doxxed by the newspaper. Awesome. That's a rough 21 lol. It'd be cool if you could reach out to relatives and learn more about ol' Germano. Ik it's not explicitly baseball but I think it could be... IDK maybe find relatives of the umps or players and talk to them. Like the relatives of Johnny Evers. Great vid! I love all the stats and the history and your style.
I cant believe you did not know about Chicago legend Johnny "The Rooster Crows at Night" Evers. Known for literally murdering umpires in the offseason.
Topic Idea: The sliding mitts are getting longer and longer each season. The advantage has been hidden because of the expected increase in stolen bases due to an increase in base size.
Isn't any gambling by baseball players, managers and umps forbidden due to the crimnal elements? I thought there were some people other than just Rose banned or suspended for gambling other than on baseball. Also, I believe I've heard stuff from Durocher's time pronounce the last r. I think there was even a song from a musical, for whatever that's worth.
Frankie the Fordham Flash Frisch, hall of famer whose entire resume has been overshadowed because he let a bunch of his friends into the hall as the head of the veterans committee
16:35 Um, actually "Kiki" in Kiki Cuyler's name is pronounced "Kai-Kai" and not "Kee-Kee" like the Studio Ghibli witch with the Delivery Service, just because the fans in Pittsburgh in the 1920s saw his last name "Kai-ler" and wanted to call him "Kai-Kai Kai-ler." And when your name is "Hazen Shirley" I guess Kiki would sound much more appealing. Anyways, this historical deep dive was great. Hope to see more of it.

Do more!!! I was a huge fan of laughs from the past! Love the deep dives into history
Laughs from the past is gold. Due for another listen through
Laughs from the past was S-tier Jomboy podcasting
"Evers" is from the famous Cubs infield of "Tinkers to Evers to Chance", all of whom are in the HoF (I think).
These are the saddest of possible words:
"Tinker to Evers to Chance."
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double -
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
"Tinker to Evers to Chance."

Wikipedia article about the poem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball%27s_Sad_Lexicon
Baseball history, these old articles and their articulation and the photos! So many colorful characters.
Please more make. Thank you
That 21 year old is actually 45 and you can't convince me otherwise.
Just commented the exact same thing before seeing this comment. 😂
unlike today where 40 is the new 20, back then it was the reverse.
Jimmy going full Brooklyn Rage when reading the quote is the best thing I've seen all week.
It’s only Tuesday
@@OhtaniCaddie4025no shit? He didn’t say this was the best thing he’d see all week but the best thing he’s seen this week (implied so far)
@@hdjono3351 so aggressive 😂😂😂 get off the juice 🧃 I know 😂
I like the old baseball stories. Nice work Jimmy
Omg the Frankie Germano one has me laughing 😂. Great job , Jimmy.
Love falling down internet rabbit holes in my free time and it's just as fun to listen to someone else do the same lol
More Jomboy is never a bad thing!!! I always run out of content to watch, so these are nice! Your watch time numbers must be really solid cuz Im not even huge on Baseball (even though it was second most played sport behind Hockey) I will watch whatever you put out.
"I LOVE this stuff. I love OLD stuff. Only come here if you like that stuff."
-Jomboy, presumably
The kissing segment 😂😂😂
5:12 Aaron Boone needs to implement some of these tactics 😂
John J. McGraw is my great great uncle.
He invented the bunt and you owe him an apology.
He's one of the biggest legend in the history of baseball.
dope video! loved the unexpected baseball history
Yay! Love the history dives!
I quite like the historical deep dives.
8:48 “Sounds like theatre…” and I had to jump in to plug the book, Ballplayers on Stage: Baseball, Melodrama, and Theatrical Celebrity in the Deadball Era by Travis Stern. Lots of fun baseball history in it!
Going to check this out! Thanks!
Keep the videos coming, Jimmy. Great watch and better stories.
20:02 A little Mike Shinoda by Jomboy!
Speaking about history anyone watched baseballs not dead’s video on the history of contracts it was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched
Such an amazing channel
That was an incredibly fun video to watch.
If you enjoy the videos off that channel you gotta check out "Baseball Doesn't Exist", if you haven't yet. Some of the best baseball content around.
@@LgnSknks541 watch both of thek
@@LgnSknks541I absolutely hate how baseball doesn’t exist talks his cadence and tone are sooo annoying in my opinion
@@hdjono3351 Funny how that works. I sparingly watch Baseballs Not Dead for the same reasons you don't enjoy Baseball Doesn't Exist. I can get through a bit of it, and enjoy the content of the......content, but I can binge Doesn't Exist. To each their own

Jomboy in his bag on this one
What?
Played his last game at 48 years old, damn.
That last story is incredible man lmao
I was about to say “how do you not know Evers (Tinker and Chance)” when you basically said it yourself. Also, Frankie Frisch was a HoFer and Leo Durocher was known as “Leo the Lip”
I wish there was a separate channel just for these honestly
It’s like baseball history class i love it 😂
More of these! Love the historical deep dive 👍
These are really interesting. Perfect rabbit hole for a day off 🤘🏾
NO WAY Germano was 21 in that picture. The dude looks 45. 😂
Frankie Germano the most stereotypical "New York Man" of all time.
fun listen. thanks jimmy
Angel Hernandez would have had the shit kicked out of him by now, back in the day.
Interesting stuff...I like the dive into baseballs colorful history. Frankie was just a good 'ol Brooklyn boy defending his team...LOL
Thanks, Jomboy! They didn’t call him “Leo the Lip…” for nothing but my cousin Frankie outdid them all in one instance 🙏🏼⚾️❤️
Seabiscuit = underrated sports movie
If it wasnt for Jomboy and your channel i would have fallen out of mlb years ago...i can now say im back in but not to mlb, but just the game. Thanks for the lip readings, cool tidbits, and for the love of all that is holy can we please have just one last game in the ol alley
They really need to have you speak at the SABR conference sometime. You'd be awesome.
i cannot recall where i read this, but the guy who attacked Magerkurth was before a judge a few years later for a different crime. germano allegedly told the judge that he had an accomplice that day who was being a pickpocket when the crowd was watching the fight. true? maybe. or maybe not.

Dude in the hat and vest is Fallout's Mysterious Stranger.
Are these not going to get posted on Spotify anymore?
This is hilarious.
Needed Nicky Cass to come in and read that quote from Germano
I love this baseball history!
You should do an episode comparing different pitchers success based on the difference in speed between their fastball and changeup. I wonder if there is a sweet spot in speed difference.
You’re just going to beeeze by the fact the name of the cubs owner was Charlie Murphy? 😂
Jimmy saw the total views on his last umpire video on Angel Hernandez and said "let's fucking goooooo!!"
That guy from Pleasantville you're thinking of is Don freaking Knotts!
This was incredible
Love this stuff
I’m all for shit talking bad umpires but some people take it too far. Certain umps don’t deserve the intense personal hatred they get just for being bad at their job.
15:00 I think Jomboy just said Joe West made a better call than the "Best umpire to ever live." Weird times we live in!
Good catch lmao. Broken clocks I guess!
So basically everybody batting when Angel Hernandez is behind the plate should start telling him how blind they are
"God I'm horrible"
"I must be blind"
"How do I even have a job?"
Art hit Shanty 😂
Loved it! This really felt like a Laughs From the Past episode, just missing Jake... speaking of... this would be a great opportunity to bring Jake on whenever you decide to go through old stuff. A little LFTP resurrection. Once a month, twice a year, whatever!
Jimmy, I would be all over a baseball history podcast!
I though Jimmy’s showdown with Brian Kenny yesterday on MLB Now was great 😂
Germano the Ginny doxxed by the newspaper. Awesome. That's a rough 21 lol. It'd be cool if you could reach out to relatives and learn more about ol' Germano. Ik it's not explicitly baseball but I think it could be... IDK maybe find relatives of the umps or players and talk to them.
Like the relatives of Johnny Evers.
Great vid! I love all the stats and the history and your style.
I cant believe you did not know about Chicago legend Johnny "The Rooster Crows at Night" Evers. Known for literally murdering umpires in the offseason.
This makes me miss LFTP so much.
I’d love to see a video on Bobby Cox prolly the last man a ump wanted to see coming😂
A full 162 game season worth of ejections. Braves legend! Chop on! 🪓
Never heard of Evers? As in "Tinker to Evers to Chance", the famous double play combo?
Love this.
this was amazing lol
Topic Idea: The sliding mitts are getting longer and longer each season. The advantage has been hidden because of the expected increase in stolen bases due to an increase in base size.
I always love a good Baseball Reference or SABR deep dive
Remember the guys at the Royals game that hopped onto the field and stabbed the first base umpire?
Was that 30 years ago?
Tinker to Evers to Chance
That article is Jomboy from the 1940s
Isn't any gambling by baseball players, managers and umps forbidden due to the crimnal elements? I thought there were some people other than just Rose banned or suspended for gambling other than on baseball. Also, I believe I've heard stuff from Durocher's time pronounce the last r. I think there was even a song from a musical, for whatever that's worth.
This is the closest we'll get to Jimmy reading us bedtime stories 😴😌
Symphony quartet plays the outro. "Jake's a dirty name."
You guys should do a series where you go to umpire school.
Jimmy knows them as "guinea tees" and I grew up with everyone calling them "wife beaters"... is there even a non-offensive name for them? lol
"Wop Top"........
A-line tank top?
lol, isn't it just undershirt?
Does Germano have a grandson that would like to meet Angel Hernandez?
The Boston braves?
long live Laughs From the Past
PLEASE DO MORE HISTORY
Please check to see if Germano is related to Joe Pesci!
Aaron Boone literally does all of the ( do not do this).
Everyone I know with the last name Evers pronounces it with a short E, not a long E 🤷♂️
Harvey Haddix 12 inning perfect game deep dive would be awesome.
Jomboy wants somebody to attack an umpire in modern baseball
Frankie the Fordham Flash Frisch, hall of famer whose entire resume has been overshadowed because he let a bunch of his friends into the hall as the head of the veterans committee
Are non smoking ordinances in public carriers really that well defined?
16:35 Um, actually "Kiki" in Kiki Cuyler's name is pronounced "Kai-Kai" and not "Kee-Kee" like the Studio Ghibli witch with the Delivery Service, just because the fans in Pittsburgh in the 1920s saw his last name "Kai-ler" and wanted to call him "Kai-Kai Kai-ler." And when your name is "Hazen Shirley" I guess Kiki would sound much more appealing.
Anyways, this historical deep dive was great. Hope to see more of it.
3:56 Wow I didn't know Jeff Bezos was an old time baseball manager
Bezos as an evil time lord is now head canon
Topic idea: are the atlanta braves objectively worse in cold weather?
Jomboy is part of Dan Patrick now?
Hunter last night and Angel (on most nights) don't need coaches to make them look bad... they do pretty good without help.
The Umpire Strikes Back!
24:37 Jake's grandpappy.
Leo "the lip" Durocher
Leo Durocher's nickname was Leo 'the Lip' Durocher.
This episode of Laughs from the Past seems different...
I love the notion that baseball is a gentlemen’s sport. It is not and never has been. Babe Ruth was famously a drunk and womanizer, not a gentleman
Germano looks like Jake’s grandpa lol
