10/1/2022 Passed Ball Show. John opens up this show by talking about the Boston Celtics and why they were right to suspend and likely fire Head Coach Ime Udoka, even though initially John disagreed. He then explains why the NFL, its concussion protocol, and the Miami Dolphins did their job in handling of injured Quarterback Tua Tagliavioga in spite of how YOU feel. He then compares the anticipated exit of disgraced Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver to murder and makes a case that murderers have gotten the opportunity to continue in their professions after they have served their time. John then uses the old "Sticks and Stones may break my bones" reference, then proves that words are now more of a crime than anything done in a physical nature. He then moves into his prolegomena as he mentions the recent passing of former Athletics and Yankees outfielder Hector Lopez. He then goes on a rant about conflict of interest, first about the Kansas City Athletics and their owner, Arnold Johnson- then about longtime owner and manager Connie Mack and Philadelphia. He finishes off by crediting Charlie Finley for saving the Athletics franchise and why his idea of how to handle free agency in baseball was what baseball should have used.
