First Month of Baseball in the Books | New Age Old Heads Episode 14
The dust is beginning to settle as baseball enters the month of May. Each team has roughly a 30-game sample size and the cream of the crop is rising to the top. The NL Central continues to be the best division in baseball, with the St. Louis Cardinals being unexpectedly competitive. The big markets of the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs are separating themselves as early contenders; smaller markets like the Tampa Bay Rays and Cincinnati Reds are in hot pursuit. So many unexpected teams excelling while others with high expectations continue to disappoint is what has made the start of the 2026 MLB season so much fun.

Jason Williams was one of the most exciting players in the history of the NBA. His iconic Elbow Pass, something that no one had ever seen before, stunned hoopers all over the world, a skyrocketed Jason into stardom. Join me as we dissect how Jason Williams went from living in small town Belle, West Virginia, growing up with future NFL superstar Randy Moss, to attending Florida alongside Billy Donovan, to losing his scholarship, to making the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, their epic battles with the Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, to his eventual trade to the Memphis Grizzlies, playing under legendary coach Hubie Brown and General Manager Jerry West, to his trade to the Miami Heat thanks to Shaquille O'Neal, then winning the 2006 NBA Championship, to finally rounding out his career with the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzles.
