00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Welcome to the Stupid Instrum Minute. I'm your host,

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Kep Pound. So if you've been listening to this podcast

3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>for a while, you know that every August I do

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>something sports related. Why because I love sports and I'm

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>part of a sports podcast called Unfiltered Sports Weekly that

6
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 1>claims they talk about sports, yet never talks about baseball.

7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>So this year, We're going to take a month looking

8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>at all thirty Major League Baseball teams. Now, we'll go

9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>alphabetically with one exception. Since I'm a lifelong Atlanta Brace fan.

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>The Braves get the honor of batt and clean up

11
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>at the very end of the month. Now, before we

12
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>visit the teams, though, talk about your favorite teams, let's

13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about where it all began. Major League baseball traces

14
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>its roots back to eighteen seventy six, when Chicago businessman

15
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>William Hulbert founded the National League, baseball's first successful professional league.

16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen oh one, Band Johnson established the American League,

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>creating a rival that quickly grew into an equal. The

18
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>two leagues agreed to work together in nineteen oh three,

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>when they held the first modern World Series between the

20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nearly one hundred and

21
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty years later, major League baseball remains America's pastime, filled

22
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>with legendary players, unforgettable moments, and enough statistics to keep

23
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>people arguing for generations. This has been the stupid History Minute,

24
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm kept pound. This podcast is a production of
