6-15-23: A special message from Steve
June 15, 2023 22:00 - 1 minute - 1000 KBHey everybody, as you may have noticed we haven't posted episodes for a couple weeks and that's because after over 300 episodes I decided to take a little break to travel and do some relaxation. We are also working on some new ideas for episodes to give you a shot in the arm three days a week in the morning and booking guests for our full length episodes. I'm thinking about all of my loyal listeners out there and I hope you enjoy some time to play outside in the sun as we get this summer...
5-31-23: The most interesting man in baseball history
May 31, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 2.86 MBToday I wrap up our salute to the military with the story of Mo Berg who might be the most interesting man in the history of baseball. Berg was fluent in seven languages and was familiar with another five. He played 16 years in the Major Leagues and traveled to Japan with a MLB All-Star team that included Babe Ruth and Lou Gerig. While there he snuck to the top of one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo and took pictures of the skyline, the harbor and a munitions facility. That is because ...
5-30-23: What is a Purple Fox?
May 30, 2023 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.62 MBToday I want to continue to salute our military a day after Memorial Day and so today I am focusing on the famous flying squadron The Purple Foxes. This is the squadron that my son John was a part of. The Purple Foxes are famous for flying in to rescue a platoon of Marines who were stuck under heavy fire during the Vietnam War. When they landed a soldier remarked “We thought you flyboys didn’t give a shit!” To which the crew chief said “We give a shit.” That is the Purple Foxes motto and...
5-29-23: Salute to the greatest generation and our troops
May 29, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.29 MBToday on Memorial Day I wanted to give my thanks to all the men and women who have given their lives to defend this country. Since I love World War II history I wanted to focus a little bit on D-day and some of the other breakthroughs that helped us win that war. What does D-day mean? How did code breaking help win the war and lead to the modern personal computer? I answer these questions and give my gratitude to anyone who has served our country, including my beloved son who also died pro...
5-24-23: All your eggs in one basket? Great!
May 24, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.7 MBSometimes you hear people say things like “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” or “you had better have a back up plan.” The truth is that most people who accomplish difficult goals don’t have a “plan B.” I was going to play Major League baseball, period, end of story. If I failed I would have figured it out then but I didn’t need and I didn’t want to think about not achieving my goal. Listen to interviews with actors, musicians or successful entrepreneurs, they often talk about how they...
5-23-23: What happens when you run into 3 jerks in one day
May 23, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.87 MBI have good news for you today and that is that if you have a lot of struggles and a lot of problems there's a good chance that a major part of the problem is YOU! And you are the only person, place or thing you really have any control over, which means you have more agency than you think to solve your problems. You may have serious hardships and circumstances but that doesn’t change the fact that you are the only thing you can control and chances are that if you change, a lot about the wo...
5-22-23: May MLB update
May 22, 2023 15:00 - 5 minutes - 3.68 MBIt’s time for another MLB update where I give my thoughts on how the season is going and what the biggests surprises and disappointments are so far. The Tampa Bay Rays just keep on rolling! Crummy stadium, low payroll and they cannot be stopped. Unlike the Oakland A’s who seem to have zero interest in putting a competitive team on the field. The Dodgers continue to rein over the National League West despite the belief of many that the Padres may be the new favorite. Are the Padres the bi...
5-17-23: This man was better with one leg than most are with two
May 17, 2023 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.5 MBYou know I love to share inspirational sports stories with you and today is a whopper! It's about the Florida Athletic High School Hall of Famer Carl Joseph. Joseph was a star athlete in high school in football, basketball and track and field. At 6’1” he could dunk the ball with authority, routinely blocked shots into the crowd, played on the defensive line in football, could throw a shot put 40 feet and won the high jump in a track meet clearing 5’10”. Joseph then went on to play middle...
5-16-23: Making the most of your talent
May 16, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.34 MBJamie Moyer pitched in four different decades as a Major League pitcher and won 269 games. He was never the most talented guy, he didn’t throw hard and his “stuff” wasn’t impressive, but he got the very most out of his ability by knowing his strengths. He knew he could use hitters' aggressiveness to his advantage and he did so for 25 seasons. But Moyer also knew he should get the most out of his influence and stature as a professional athlete and he did that as well. He and his wife star...
5-15-23: One team one dream
May 15, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 4 MBToday I’m talking about how working on a team creates a positive environment with better outcomes for everyone. It’s tempting to want to “go it alone” but the rewards of being backed up by a team bear out in the research and by people’s experiences. Being on a team reduces stress, reduces mistakes and creates better decision making. I know that playing a team sport made our failures less painful and our successes way more fun. So if you are starting out on a new dream or looking for a ne...
5-10-23: Kick that negativity to the curb
May 10, 2023 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.22 MBWe all have negative thoughts sometimes that put us down or make us doubt ourselves. That’s normal, but when those thoughts become chronic and intrusive it can lead to a sad lonely life of blaming the world and other people for our problems. Looking back over my own experience and reading how others have overcome negative thoughts I wanted to share with you some ways to overcome that pattern. Acknowledge the thoughts and know you will overcome them Use compassionate self-talk Talk to o...
5-9-23: A hop, skip and a jump to conclusions
May 09, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.81 MBWe all do it. We all get a fear in our head that we know what someone is thinking about us, or we get a feeling and know that something terrible is going to happen, or we read a headline and we know the whole awful story. But do we? Or are we just jumping to conclusions based on feelings or false information? Jumping to conclusions can cause us to act in irrational ways and upend our day or our lives because we reacted to situations that didn’t even exist. When it’s really bad we begin to a...
5-8-23: The pandemic of loneliness
May 08, 2023 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.33 MBToday I’m talking about another pandemic that is happening in our world as the COVID-19 crisis winds down and that is the crisis of loneliness. It’s worse for you than smoking, it causes mental health problems, lifestyle disorders and all sorts of public health problems. All this started even before COVID and it continues to get worse. So what can we do? Well, it's a big complex problem with simple solutions. We have to connect with other people. It’s vital! We are literally built to thriv...
5-4-23: The importance of staying classy
May 03, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.62 MBThere are many things in life which never get old. Jeans and a t-shirt, a good chocolate chip cookie and treating people with class and respect. That’s what today’s short is all about. During my career many different people showed class, guiding me with their example of kindness and service. Acts of class and respect are experiences that have stuck with me for the rest of my life and they are reminders of how I should strive to treat others as well. Listen to today’s short to hear how so...
5-2-23: The importance of micro changes in your life
May 02, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.31 MBToday I’m taking a look at the baseball season again to see where things stand after the first month. This is a time for players and teams to reevaluate where they are, how the season is going and what changes might need to be made. It’s a great example for our own lives. Every few months we should all be evaluating our lives and our performance to figure out where we can do better and what changes we could make to improve. Donate to the Captain John J. Sax Foundation here Visit my webs...
5-1-23: A dedication to my son
May 01, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 2.96 MBToday we officially open the Captain John J. Sax foundation which will raise money to support people who want to pursue a passion for flying. Our foundation’s mission statement is: In continuing to honor the life of a devoted flyer, the Capt. John J. Sax Foundation serves to support those who choose to further their education, exploration and passion for flight dwelling within the hearts of future aviators within the United States of America. John had been passionate about flying since he...
4-27-23: Nick Swisher "How do you want to live your life?"
April 27, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBToday on our full length episode I had the pleasure of talking with the great Nick Swisher. Nick is a ball of energy and positivity and he had so many great things to say about how to choose happiness and how to look forward and the future while living in the present moment. Nick was a phenomenal baseball player playing 12 seasons in which he hit 20 or more home runs in nine straight seasons and won a world series with the New York Yankees in 2009. He was a first round pick by the Oakland...
4-26-23: Make your weakness your superpower
April 26, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.98 MBTo finish this week of people overcoming the odds to succeed in sports I wanted to highlight the great Muggsy Bogues, who played 14 years in the NBA despite being a mere 5’3”. That’s short for your average person but for professional basketball players that is unheard of. And he was one of a kind and still is, because he is the shortest NBA player ever. And yet he wasn’t just a cute story, Muggsy Bogues was an outstanding player. Nobody took care of the ball better than Muggsy and that’s n...
4-25-23: How to dominate in ping pong with no arms
April 25, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.21 MBYesterday’s story was about a boy who almost lost his legs and today’s story is about a boy who lost his arms. Ibrahim Hamadtou lost his arms in a train accident as a little boy. Luckily in the village he grew up in in Egypt they loved soccer and table tennis. Naturally, you would assume a kid with no arms would play soccer, which he did, but Ibrahim was also enamored with table tennis. Unfortunately, a prerequisite to play the sport is holding a paddle and to do that you need arms and han...
4-24-23: Doctors said he would never walk, so he ran
April 24, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.11 MBToday I share the story of Glenn Cunningham who was one of the best distance runners of all time. He held the world record in the mile for three years. He held several Olympic and NCAA records at one point. But as a child, doctors told him he would never walk. Cunningham had both legs terribly burned in a fire, and he barely survived and nearly had his legs amputated. Doctors said he would never walk, but never underestimate the will of an 8-year-old. Cunningham taught himself how to walk ...
4-19-23: Big changes or little changes? You need to find out!
April 19, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.86 MBToday I am talking a little bit about the rule changes and baseball and how they are working out so far. I’ll focus on the shift and the pick off rule. What do these rules and changes have to do with our lives? Well, I think we will see that these rules are not going to change the game all that much because little tweaks to the rules aren’t the problem. It’s the underlying approach to the game. Sometimes the same could be said about our lives. If you are spinning your wheels constantly look...
4-18-23: Avoiding pain is avoiding life
April 18, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.86 MBThis week I am talking about baseball and how it compares to life. Last weekend I was at my grandson’s little league game and saw a young kid get thrown out of a game because I ran into the catcher even though he tried to stop himself from running into him. This type of over safety in youth sports and professional sports for that matter, are teaching people young and old that you should avoid pain. Avoid getting hurt at all costs and don’t ever hurt anyone else. The problem is that getting...
4-17-23: Don't hate, innovate
April 17, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.77 MBThe Tampa Bay Rays kicked off the season with 13 straight wins, which is an astonishing feat but what’s even more amazing is they have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. They are a team that relied heavily on the shift and analytics to win games and yet they find new ways to innovate every year to be in the mix for the playoffs. Simply put, the Rays don’t make ANY excuses. They see their challenges as opportunities to be creative and play the game in a way others would never even cons...
Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger: The story behind the movie
April 13, 2023 06:00 - 41 minutes - 28.6 MBIf you are a sports fan or even just a movie fan you undoubtedly know the movie Rudy. It’s the story of a young man who was determined to attend Notre Dame and play on the football team even though he stood a mere five foot six and a hundred and sixty five pounds. He works tirelessly to earn the respect of his teammates and coaches, and repeatedly gets annihilated in practices, all while family and friends think he is out of his mind to chase such an outrageous dream. But that perseveran...
4-12-23: The tackle that won the hearts of millions
April 12, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.44 MBToday I’m talking about the ultimate walk-on player, Rudy Ruettiger. Rudy’s journey started after witnessing the horrific death of a co-worker at the coal plant where they worked. After seeing his friend die, Rudy was overwhelmed with the feeling that it was time to chase his dreams. He quit right away and set out to attend Notre Dame and play football. He did just that and the story was turned into one of the greatest sports movies of all time. But the story of getting the movie made is e...
4-11-23: The catch that saved a historically bad season
April 11, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.6 MBI am continuing walk on week and today’s story is about Greg Camarillo, who caught one of the most famous touchdown passes in Miami Dolphins history. Though it was famous because it saved them from a potential 0-16 season. But Greg was never meant to be in the NFL, that was never his plan when he finished high school and was trying to decide whether to attend Harvard or Stanford. He chose Stanford and walked onto the football team as a punter. But he shanked his first two punt opportuniti...
4-10-23: No one's interested? No problem!
April 10, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.74 MBThis week I am talking all about improbable walk-on stories in college football. It takes immeasurable guts and passion to try and walk on to a top flight college football program but that’s exactly what Javien Elliot did when he joined Florida State the year after they won a National Championship. And Javien wasn’t a walk-on with a dream to only play at Florida State, who turned down options to play for other schools. He was a junior college transfer who hadn’t played a snap of football s...
4-5-23: Rocketing to success, followed by collapse...now what?
April 05, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.76 MBToday I tell the story of Rick Ankiel who was a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals and who rocketed to stardom in 2000. But he fell into baseball ruin nearly as fast as he rose to stardom developing control problems and falling apart in the playoffs of that year. Ankiel had years of injuries and attempts to solve his control problems before he gave up on his lifelong ambition of being a pitcher and decided to become an outfielder. In 2007 he torched the minor leagues hitting 32 home run...
4-4-23: No way Jose: an improbable comeback
April 04, 2023 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.78 MBThis week I am telling great comeback stories and today’s story is about Jose Rijo of the Cincinnati Reds. Rijo washed out of the Oakland A’s organization but had a great career with the Reds winning a World Series in which he won two games and went to an All-Star Game. But his career was cut short with shoulder and elbow injuries at age 31. He tried and tried to get back to the big leagues but injuries kept him out more than five years. He even ended up on the Hall of Fame ballot which ...
4-3-23: Reconstructing an elbow and a career
April 03, 2023 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.74 MBThis week I am talking about inspiring comeback stories, and I thought that I would highlight baseball comebacks in honor of the season just getting started. Today is all about Tommy John. Yes if you didn’t know Tommy John was an actual pitcher, not just the name of a surgery, and he was a phenomenal pitcher to boot. He pitched for 26 seasons, 14 of which came after his groundbreaking elbow ligament replacement surgery in 1974. He went to three All-Star games and won 20 games three times a...
3-29-23: CHANGE: Acceptance or rejection, the choice is yours
March 29, 2023 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.76 MBToday I break down my picks for the World Series and talk a little bit about the new rules in baseball. As part of the new rules I examine the idea that while these are mostly changes that I don’t like, I’m still excited about baseball and I recognize that the changes in the game are out of my control and that they might even bring good outcomes that I can’t see yet. We can do the same with our lives. When change comes along, and it always does, you can fight it, or pout about it and try...
3-28-23: Are you a San Diego or Milwaukee? Plus NL predictions
March 28, 2023 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.4 MBToday I look at the outlook for National League teams headed into the season. In doing so, two teams really stood out to me, the San Diego Padres and the Milwaukee Brewers. They have similar size media markets and similar size fan bases. They both don’t have a tremendous history of winning but have a moderate history of success. Yet the Padres are all in, spending every dollar they can find to try to win. The Brewers on the other hand won’t even hand out decent extensions to their own youn...
3-27-23: You have to believe + baseball predicitons
March 27, 2023 08:00 - 5 minutes - 3.93 MBToday I am breaking down my predictions for the American League in baseball in each division. As much fun as that is, what I love about this time of year is that it reminds me of the optimism I should have about my life. Everyone on every team expects to have a great season and believes they can win. I felt that way when I went to spring training and it reminds me to find that attitude in my life today. You’ve got to believe you are going to win and you’ve got to believe in the preparatio...

Today’s tips are about how to create more happiness: Spend as much time as possible doing things you love Spend time with ...
3-15-23: Greatest female athletes: Madge Sayers
March 15, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.23 MBToday I talk about Madge Sayers. A name you might not know unless you love to get deep into Olympic history, but Madge Sayers was one of the first and best female figure skaters in the early 1900’s. In fact, she was one of the best regardless of gender and proved that by winning the British Nationals in 1903 against men. She then saw a women’s division get created and won the first women’s singles gold medal in the 1908 games. Sayers smashed down the doors for women, beating her own husb...

March 14, 2023 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.11 MBContinuing my look back at some trailblazing women in the world of sports, today I look at Janet Guthrie who was the first woman to compete in a NASCAR Winston Cup race and the Indianapolis 500. She went to college and graduated from Michigan University in 1960 and worked in research and development as an aeronautical engineer. She then became one of the four women chosen for the scientist astronaut program with NASA but was eventually not eligible to continue chasing that dream because sh...

3-7-23: "Load management" is a load of (you know what)
March 07, 2023 09:00 - 5 minutes - 3.99 MBToday I’m talking about the importance of showing up for the jobs you agreed to do, whether that’s in your career or at home or with friends. There is nothing more important than showing your gratitude for the people and opportunities in your life than just showing up. In the NBA and other sports this simple truth seems to have gotten lost to the sad trend of “load management.” Which really means “I make $50 million a year but back to back games that’s too much for me.” But what about th...
3-6-23: Silence is golden
March 06, 2023 09:00 - 4 minutes - 3.05 MBToday I am talking about the importance of silence. There is now doubt that there are lots of amazing things about living in our modern world. Access to information, entertainment, tremendous conveniences, but one of the drawbacks is the noise! Both literal noise from sirens, car horns, planes, tv, radio all of it and also the noise in our heads. Humans weren’t meant to live with that level of noise and stimulus. So it’s vital that we find time to enjoy some silence, and I found a great ...
