Summary
This episode features “Granny’s All-Time Baseball Team,” drawn from The Tumult and the Shouting, the autobiography of legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice. Narrated by Jimmy Powers, the program brings Rice’s firsthand reflections on baseball’s greatest players to life, blending storytelling with commentary shaped by decades of observation.
Looking back across the early decades of professional baseball, Rice assembles his ideal lineup—drawing from icons of the Deadball Era through the rise of power hitting in the 1920s and beyond. Along the way, he offers insight into how the game evolved, from speed and strategy to power and spectacle, while reflecting on players whose reputations were built long before the age of television.
More than just a list of great names, the episode captures the perspective of a witness to baseball’s formative years, offering a snapshot of how the sport—and its legends—were understood in the mid-20th century.
