Sports' Forgotten HeroesDave Bancroft is not a name familiar to most MLB fans. Inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1971, Bancroft was a defensive genius during his 16-year career for the Phillies, Giants, Braves and Dodgers. A .279 career hitter, he was also a key cog on four teams that played in the World Series. But it was his glove that made him a "beauty" in the field. Listen to SFH with special guest Tom Alesia for a wonderful conversation about one of MLB's most obscure Hall of Fame members.The greatest players to have ever appeared in a Major League Baseball game are honored and immortalized in Cooperstown, New York at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Players like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson. Ted William and Joe DiMaggio. Mickey Mantle and Stan Musial. Of course there's Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Tom Seaver and more recently Ken Griffey, Jr. and Mariano Rivera. But there are dozens upon dozens more who have been enshrined and whose stories we know so little about. Names very few of us recognize. Guys like Dan Brouthers, Deacon White, Bid...

Front RowSir Tom Stoppard, Ryan Bancroft, Museum of The Year, Nick LairdSir Tom Stoppard's Olivier Award-winning play Leopoldstadt closed because of Covid in March 2020. Tomorrow it returns to the same stage and the same cast will tell again the story a Jewish family, in Vienna in the first half of the 20 century. They fled the pogroms in the East and later suffered terribly under Nazi rule. The plot has parallels with Stoppard's own family - all four of Stoppard's grandparents perished in concentration camps. He talks about returning to the theatre, if he has revised the play in the interregnum, and if he is tempted to revisit his earlier plays.

Sports' Forgotten HeroesTom Loftus-MLBThe American League was founded by a few men, but two are largely given most, if not all, of the credit: Charles Comiskey and Byron Bancroft “Ban” Johnson. Despite what history tells us, there was a third gentleman who deserves just as much credit; and if Comiskey and Johnson were alive today, they would most likely concur – Tom Loftus. The three men spearheaded the idea of taking on the National League at a time when several leagues were trying to make a “go” of it. The Players League, the American Association and the Western League were the most noteworthy. With the e...
