Exploring the mysteries of the lost, the forgotten, and the disappeared.

Join host and journalist Ben Baskin on an adventure through time as he takes on some of the biggest questions in sports history—and some you never thought to ask. Every episode of Lost In Sports explores the mysteries of the lost, the forgotten, and the disappeared as Ben goes on a quest for answers.

Masters of the Gridiron: The 1985 Bears made the Super Bowl Shuffle. The 1986 Browns made a movie about time travel, sorcery, and…ninjas?

And1 Mixtapes: In 1999, a small apparel company released street ball highlights that became a craze. But then, just as quickly as it rose, it all disappeared.

NCAA Football Video Game: For years, EA Sports produced an extremely popular college football video game. And then it was gone, leaving its cult fanbase enraged.

Evander Holyfield’s ear: When Mike Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear, the chunk of human flesh was recovered—and then mysteriously disappeared.

Hartford Whalers: The small capital city of Connecticut was once home to hockey greats. Years after the NHL left, its former team is as popular as ever.

New Jersey Turnpikes: A star-studded comedy about the ABA was supposed to be a Hollywood classic. But the finished film never made it to theaters.
