There’s one thing sports fans can all agree on: Phillies fans love to boo. This week, Jayson and Doug look back at All-Star Week, share stories from the wrong side of a hostile Philly crowd, and discuss why the city’s fans have earned their reputation. Then, legendary broadcaster Joe Buck joins the show to talk about being honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, along with a few behind-the-scenes details from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. To close things out, Jayson and Doug dive into another edition of Strange But True in Sacramento.Rundown:1:34 All-Star Game in Philadelphia3:00 Phillies Fans LOVE to Boo9:22 Joe Buck Visits Starkville10:38 Hall of Fame Weekend14:04 Baseball’s Impact19:19 Calling Baseball Games28:50 Entering the Hall of Fame30:36 Announcing Baseball vs. Football33:29 Broadcasting Baseball36:25 Joe’s Cooperstown Speech46:07 Observations on Today’s Game48:12 Swift-Kelce Wedding54:25 Strange But TrueFollow Jayson on Bluesky: @jaysonst.bsky.socialFollow Doug on Bluesky: @dougglanville.bsky.socialE-mail: starkville@theathletic.comStarkville Hotline: (347) 313-8371Subscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleWith: Joe BuckProducer: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
