“Tom Rinaldi did a wonderful job telling this very sad story. As a fan of baseball, and someone who was born and raised in Southern California going to Angeles games, I never knew about this tragedy. Many thanks to Tom for his poignant telling of Lyman’s life.”

“Also describes this podcast. Could have been worthwhile, except Tom Rinaldi surrenders to sloppy, one-sided journalism in his portrayal of Bostock’s criminal behavior in college and gross, self-serving, near-hysterical, and ludicrous praise of Bostock’s talent as a player. The shame, besides...”Read full review »

“I’m not a baseball fan and was only 10 when this happened, nor have I ever hear about it. I heard an advertisement for this podcast on another podcast and just felt like I needed to hear it. I’m so glad I did.”

“This seems to be a story about Rinaldi’s feelings about the story and how he reported it, rather than about Bostock’s murder and career.
Nothing is really resolved or revealed here beyond showing Rinaldi’s desire for closure that never came. This was a senseless murder and a miscarriage of...”Read full review »

“Tom and his team did an exceptional job of shedding light on the life cut short of Lyman Wesley Bostock. I attended college with him and knew him well, he’s characterized in this story by his big heart and care for others. And that’s who he was!”

“Excellent series in short episodes that you can listen to, on your way to or from work.
I attended CSUN about the time he was killed, and never knew Lyman had a gone to school there. It was good to hear details of a man with a good heart.”

“My brother and I were 7&8 years old in Brooklyn when Lyman was killed. We were both devastates. We were Yankees fans but Lyman Bostock and Bobby Bonds were the two players that didn’t play for the Yankees that we followed. So sad how he died and the rumors that followed. THEN…..
